MONAT for Color-Treated Hair
Color-treated hair is chemically altered hair. Even the gentlest gloss lifts the cuticle and lightening does far more. Once colour is in, your job is to keep it in and keep the hair strong enough to hold it.
That means bond-focused care, fewer washes, cooler water and no unnecessary heat.
What to look for
Bond care
BOND IQ™ is designed for chemically processed hair.
Gentle cleansing
Every wash costs you some colour, make each one count.
Leave-on protection
A leave-in reduces the friction that fades colour.
Weekly moisture
Colour looks richer on well-hydrated hair.

How to use the products
- Wait 48 to 72 hours after a colour service before your first wash.

- Consider a shower filter if you have hard water.
