TRI TO ADAPT The Institute of Trichology presents the Structural Balance line, a selfadjusting hair care system.

DOUBLE DUTY L’Oréal Professionnel’s Vitamino Color and Lumino Contrast system takes colour care to a new level. Formulated for highlighted hair, Lumino Contrast’s positively charged ions target sensitized and negatively charged zones of hair.
