What Is Fanola Haircare?

Sometimes, a beauty brand comes along and takes the industry by storm. Fanola Professional Haircare did exactly that. Inspired by the colours and vibrancy of Venice, a group of Italian entrepreneurs worked alongside scientists, researchers, hairstylists, and artists to create this gorgeous  innovative haircare brand dedicated to keeping your hair colour beautiful. Sounds like a winner to us!

Constantly inspired by new trends and product innovation, Fanola has expertly developed a stunning range of products to help you keep your look fresh and enjoy vivid hair that’s full of lustre and vitality. Fanola products are typically found in your favourite hair salons. But there’s also a select Fanola range available that lets you enjoy stunning locks between salon visits.

What Is Fanola Shampoo?

Traditional shampoos can be harsh on coloured locks, leading to fast and uneven colour fading. But amazing Fanola shampoos not only cleanse the hair of impurities, product build-up, excess oil, and pollutants. They also help neutralise unwanted tones and prevent colour fading. The brand’s No Yellow Shampoo has become a particular favourite in the beauty world.

Discover how to use Fanola products and which products are right for keeping your hair colour beautiful between salon visits.

Does Fanola Damage Hair?

Just because Fanola products pack a punch with performance doesn’t mean they cause damage. So don’t worry! However, if you have coloured and chemically treated hair, it’s extra important that you look after your vulnerable tresses, as they’re typically weaker and more prone to breakage. The Nutri Care range from Fanola features nourishing treatments that repair, condition, nourish, and protect damaged and compromised locks so you can rest assured that your hair is kept healthy.

Can You Use Fanola on Dry Hair?

 Fanola shampoo on dry hair is an absolute no-go! Every shampoo spreads more evenly when the hair is wet. If you don’t wet your hair first, you may end up with an uneven and patchy finish. Not exactly what you want when it comes to your hair colour!

How Often Do I Use Fanola?

To keep on top of unwanted colours  such as brassy and yellow tones, we recommend using a Fanola shampoo just once a week or once a fortnight, depending on your hair colour and hair type. If you use a treatment too often, you may start to notice blue and purple hues in your locks as these are really high-strength shampoos!

How Long Can I Leave Fanola Shampoo On?

When using any toning shampoos from Fanola for the first time, leave the shampoo on for just 1 minute to prevent blue and purple tones that can be caused by too much toning. After a few uses, you can leave the shampoo on for a longer time. But never keep a treatment on your hair for longer than 5 minutes.

Is Fanola Sulphate-Free?

The original Fanola No Yellow Shampoo and No Orange Shampoo are not sulphate-free. However, there’s good news! Fanola No Yellow Vegan Shampoo is free of sulphates and parabens, and is vegan as stated.

Is Fanola Vegan?

Not all products from Fanola are vegan. However, the brand does offer Fanola No Yellow Vegan Shampoo and No Yellow Vegan Mask, which deliver the same fantastic results as the original range but with a vegan formula.

Does Fanola Test on Animals?

More good news! Fanola states, ‘Fanola products are not tested on animals as required by EU law as these products are manufactured in Italy.’
