Hair: I tested the Intermède Color Revealing Cream
A professional salon treatment ...
A few weeks ago, I was offered the opportunity to test the latest in Intermede hair care; a repigmenting treatment for hair colored. So before for the Color Revealing Care. I am welcomed at the show by all the Intermède team, and especially Jérôme Poret, the director of training.
Jérôme explains to me that this product, based on the professional skills of the brand (it belongs to the Provalliance group, along with Franck Provost, Jean-Louis David, Jean-Marc Maniatis, St. Algue ...) has 2 good arrows to his bow: care and color. The treatment, thanks to its complex of ultra-nourishing active ingredients (phyto-keratin, marine collagen, shea butter and argan oil) that fill damaged breccias and repulpate the hair. The color because it allows to revive a coloring past and bring new reflections in supplement. And, the height of luxury, micro-flakes of mica bring hair a maximum of shine.
The hairdresser has, at his disposal 5 shades, that he can mix between them to stick at best to the coloring basic. In my case, Jerome proposes to introduce a little copper in my light brown lengths. So we start on a base ¼ chocolate and ¾ copper.
The care applies on hair clean and moist. Head the wash tub for me. Then comes the moment of the application of the care, in 3 stages. Jerome roughly distributes the product on my hair using a wide brush. Then, he untangles my hair comb, so as to distribute the product evenly. Finally, he realizes what he calls "palpate-smooth"; a kind of friction of fine locks between his fingers, ended by a gesture smoothing towards the tips. "In this way, it is possible to penetrate the product thoroughly He explains to me.
... to continue in my bathroom
In addition to the salon service Color Revealing Care, it is also possible to reboost its color at home, since it is available for sale. 3 basic colors exist: Chocolate, Copper and Vanilla, to which is added the possibility to request a tailor-made care. "The goal is to bring a plus in the maintenance of a color, skate, a sweep, shade a reflection. The tailor-made guarantees each woman to benefit from a care of her own Adds Jérôme Poret.
Every 2 to 3 shampoos, trade your usual hair mask against this one. It all depends on the intensity of color you want and the oxidation of your color. After application, leave for 2 to 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. "It is important to remove a maximum of cosmetic residues. When will you feel your hair squeal between your fingers, you'll know they're rinsed wellExplains me, Jerome Poret.
The luxury of tailor-made affordable
On my side, place at the hairstyle. Jerome makes me a brushing top with a lot of movement, which he gets by turning the round brush on itself in a downward gesture in finish. It then ice the effect obtained with cold air sucked. Already, I am very well coiffed. But in addition, revelation! The color is so bright it looks like I put diamonds in my hair. Pure luxury! After several shampoos, my hair stay much brighter than usual. Another good point for this Color Revealer care that is very affordable. Count about 15 euros for a salon service and 18 euros to take the care home.
Thanks to Jérôme Poret, Director of Intermède Training.
