L’Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Spectrum Shampoo 300ml & Conditioner 200ml for coloured hair
Product description
The essentials
If you’re trying to keep dyed hair looking lively (and not just “okay” after a couple of washes), this Vitamino Color Spectrum set is built around one idea: help lock in colour vibrancy and keep hair feeling softer with a shinier finish. The shampoo is sulphate free, and the conditioner is designed to be applied to lengths and ends for a quick, practical care routine.
The brand also claims proven results across five colour dimensions — Shine, Saturation, Contrast, Tone and Brightness — and says it can help maintain colour vibrancy for up to 100 days. That’s a useful promise to aim for, though real-world longevity can depend on how often you wash, how hot the water is and what kind of colouring you’ve had done.
What it’s for (and what you’ll notice)
This pair makes the most sense if you have coloured hair and you want your colour to look fresher for longer, without switching your whole routine. The shampoo is positioned as gentle cleansing for colour-treated hair, so it’s more about maintaining than stripping.
In day-to-day use, you’re likely to notice the “feel” first: the set is described as leaving hair nourished, strengthened and soft to the touch, with a glass-like shiny finish. That kind of finish is especially noticeable on hair that can look a bit dry or dull after colouring.
A simple micro-example: after dyeing (or when your colour is starting to look a touch flat), use the shampoo on damp hair, emulsify until you get a rich foam, rinse well, then apply the conditioner evenly through lengths and ends, leave it for about a minute and rinse again. The routine isn’t complicated, so it’s easy to stick with.
Key features that matter
Where this set distinguishes itself is in its colour-care approach. It’s enriched with ferulic acid and citric acid, and the idea is that these ingredients help penetrate the hair fibre and lock in colour dyes. On paper, that’s the sort of formulation direction you want if you care about vibrancy and tonal neatness.
You also get a sulphate-free shampoo, which tends to be a better match for colour-treated hair if you’re trying to avoid an overly stripping cleanse. It doesn’t mean your colour won’t fade at all — nothing really prevents fading completely — but it can help reduce unnecessary wear.
One limitation to keep in mind: the “up to 100 days” claim is always going to be influenced by individual factors. If you wash very frequently or use hot water, you may see shorter results.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you:
- Have coloured hair and want a straightforward shampoo-and-conditioner routine aimed at vibrancy
- Prefer a sulphate-free shampoo as part of colour maintenance
- Like the idea of a shinier finish and a softer feel after washing
It might not suit you if you’re looking for something that targets only scalp issues (the information provided focuses on hair colour vibrancy and fibre care, not scalp treatments). It may also feel a bit “mainstream care” rather than a highly specialised repair, if your hair is extremely damaged and you need very intensive, targeted rebuilding.

Is it worth it?
This is a good buy if you want a practical colour-care routine: sulphate-free cleansing, conditioning where it matters (lengths and ends), and an emphasis on maintaining vibrancy across multiple colour dimensions. The ingredients focus (ferulic acid and citric acid) and the glass-like shine described are particularly relevant if your dyed hair tends to look dull or feel a bit rough over time.
You may want to skip it if you need a scalp-first treatment or if you expect zero colour fade regardless of your wash habits. For most people balancing everyday washing with colour maintenance, though, it’s an easy-to-follow set that’s designed to keep coloured hair looking fresher for longer.
FAQs
Quick questions before you buy
Does this work only for newly dyed hair?
It’s positioned for coloured hair and colour vibrancy upkeep, so it’s intended for use beyond just immediately after dyeing — as your colour starts to fade, it’s still aligned with that goal.
Is the shampoo really gentle?
It’s described as a gently cleansing sulphate-free shampoo for coloured hair, and the instructions suggest thorough rinsing for best results.
How do you use the conditioner?
Apply it evenly to lengths and ends, leave for about a minute, then rinse thoroughly.
Will I definitely get “up to 100 days” of vibrancy?
It’s a brand claim for colour vibrancy, but actual longevity depends a lot on your routine (for example, how often you wash and how you care for the hair after colouring).
