Who is it for?

How to know if shampoozada is a good technique to face the problem in your hair? Carla gave some tips for you to identify.

The shampoozada is indicated for cleaning the color of the hair, so that it can receive a color again and it lasts longer. It is ideal for blondes whose hair has greenish chlorine or seawater. As for those who have dull, dull and grayish hair or who are over pigmented or have a tinting product.


It is suitable even for those who had no major problem with colored hair, such as a faded dye. Before retouching the color, shampooing is recommended.

Carla also remembers that it only works when the pigment is on the surface of the wire, in the cuticle. In more intense cases, shampoozada will have no effect.

Does shampooing in virgin hair work?

If shampoozada is a milder discoloration technique, can it be used to discolor virgin dye strands?

According to Carla, the concentration of bleach and peroxide is too low to have an effect on natural hair. This process may damage the hair because it is an alkaline product and not discolor the hair as expected.

For an effect similar to shampoozada on natural hair, a traditional discoloration or toning is indicated. Because shampoozada acts only for color cleaning, since there is no color added to this hair, this technique will not work.
