color protection hair mask

$66.00 - 5.4 fl oz (160 mL)

A rinse-out mask that shields cosmetic pigment from oxidation and reseals the cuticle after colouring, so tone stays even and reflective far longer between salon visits. Powered by biodynamic grape leaf polyphenols to neutralise the free radicals that degrade artificial pigment, upcycled walnut extract that binds to keratin and reinforces depth of tone, and organic linseed mucilage to smooth the raised cuticle through which colour leaches out. A citrus and fennel blend adds a second antioxidant layer, while citric acid drops the pH to close the fibre and lock pigment in place.

Use 1–2 times a week, or after every colour service.

Lovely and not too heavy. Definitely feels super nourishing!

The usual lovely orange clove scent is missing. Nothing there. Null & void.

The ritual.

After cleansing with a colour-protection hair bath, towel-dry the hair thoroughly so it can absorb rather than dilute the product. Take a walnut-sized amount and distribute it through the lengths and ends with a wide-tooth comb, working section by section so the mask reaches every strand. Leave on for 5 minutes for routine use, or up to 10 minutes on porous, highlighted, or bleached lengths that lose pigment fastest. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to keep the cuticle closed. Use 1–2 times a week, and always in the 72 hours following a colour or toning service, when pigment loss is highest.

About Oway

What is Agricosmetica®?

Agricosmetica® is how Oway makes cosmetics: actives from biodynamic and certified organic farming, selected with care and processed in a circular system that turns waste into resources, from the field to the bottle.

What is Ortofficina?

Ortofficina is Oway’s farm in the hills of Bologna, farmed with biodynamic methods since the early 2000s. Many of the botanical actives in Oway formulas are grown there and harvested when each plant is at its peak.

What does biodynamic mean?

Biodynamic farming treats the farm as one living system. It builds soil fertility with compost and crop rotation, uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and times sowing and harvest to natural cycles. Oway grows its biodynamic actives at Ortofficina and with a network of biodynamic growers.

Why glass and aluminium?

Glass keeps out light, air and moisture, so a formula keeps its purity, potency and freshness, and nothing leaches into it. Oway replaced plastic with recyclable glass and aluminium for its bottles, jars and tubes, to cut single-use plastic.

Where is Oway made?

In Italy. Oway was founded in Bologna in 1948 and still develops its formulas there, close to its farm, Ortofficina.
