Maria Nila Luminous Colour

Colour does not fade evenly. It goes first at the ends, first at the parting, and fastest in the two weeks after your appointment — which is exactly when most people go back to whatever shampoo was already in the shower.

Luminous Colour is Maria Nila's range for colour-treated hair of any shade. Shampoo, conditioner and masque built around pomegranate and the brand's Colour Guard Complex, plus a three-minute booster masque for the weeks a full masque is not happening. The job is simple: keep the colour you paid for in the hair for longer.

Use it from the first wash after your appointment, not once you notice fading. If your concern is specifically brass in blonde, you want tone rather than colour protection — go to Sheer Silver. If you want to top up the colour itself between visits, Colour Refresh deposits pigment; this range does not.
