Goldwell Dualsenses Color Extra Rich Haircare Routine
Share
Goldwell Dualsenses Color Extra Rich is built for clients with thick, coarse, or long color-treated hair. The formulas are heavier, more nourishing, and packed with color-lock technology to keep vibrant tones looking fresh between salon visits. Here is how to walk your clients through a complete Extra Rich routine that supports their color investment and extends service life.
Who This Line Is Built For
Extra Rich is the right recommendation when your client has:
- Coarse or thick hair texture that needs extra slip and moisture.
- Long hair that tends to feel dry or rough through the mid-lengths and ends.
- Color-treated hair at risk of fading, especially reds, coppers, and brunettes.
- Previous history of chemical services that compromised the hair's integrity.
The Core Routine
Step 1: Color Extra Rich Shampoo
Cleansing is the most important step for color retention. Color Extra Rich Shampoo is sulfate-free and uses Goldwell's Color Lock System to seal the cuticle. Recommend shampooing 2 to 3 times per week for most clients, using cool to lukewarm water to keep the cuticle closed.
Step 2: Color Extra Rich Conditioner
The conditioner detangles, softens, and locks in color. Apply from mid-lengths to ends, leave on for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Advise clients not to skip conditioner, especially on wash days, because it seals in the shampoo's work.
Step 3: Color Extra Rich 60-Second Treatment
Once a week, swap the regular conditioner for the 60-Second Treatment. This deep reconstructive masque delivers a concentrated shot of protein and moisture. Leave on for 60 seconds, or up to 3 minutes for more depth, and rinse thoroughly.Step 4: Serum Oil Elixir
A leave-in finishing step, Serum Oil Elixir adds shine, tames frizz, and provides lightweight heat protection. Apply 2 to 3 drops to damp mid-lengths and ends before styling, and a drop on dry hair for a polished finish.
Building a Weekly Protocol
- Day 1 (Wash day): Color Extra Rich Shampoo, 60-Second Treatment, Serum Oil before blow-dry.
- Day 3 (Wash day): Color Extra Rich Shampoo, Color Extra Rich Conditioner, Serum Oil.
- Between washes: Dry shampoo for refresh, a drop of Serum Oil on dry ends as needed.
For clients who work out or sweat daily, add a co-wash or cool water rinse between shampoo days to extend the life of the blowout and color.
Why It Protects Color
Goldwell's Color Lock Serum and microfluidic technology seal the cuticle and reflect light for shine. Sulfate-free cleansing means color molecules stay trapped inside the cortex longer. Clients who switch from drugstore shampoos to Color Extra Rich typically see color last 2 to 3 weeks longer between salon visits.
Retailing the Line
Set up a retail bundle for new color clients that includes Shampoo, Conditioner, 60-Second Treatment, and Serum Oil Elixir. Frame it as protection for their color investment. A client paying $150 to $250 for color is happy to spend $60 to $80 on home care that protects that investment.
Quick Talking Points for the Chair
- Cool water rinses keep the cuticle closed and color locked in.
- 60-Second Treatment once a week keeps hair from feeling rough at the ends.
- Heat styling without a protectant burns color out faster than shampooing.
- The first 48 hours after a color service are critical. Do not shampoo until day 3 if possible.
- Chlorine and saltwater both fade color. Rinse hair before swimming and apply Serum Oil Elixir as a barrier.
Comparing to Other Dualsenses Lines
Dualsenses also offers Color Brilliance and Color Revive lines. Color Extra Rich is specifically for thicker, coarser, longer hair. If your client has fine, limp color-treated hair, steer them toward Color Brilliance for a lighter formula. If they have a specific tone to maintain (like copper or red), Color Revive includes pigmented shampoos and conditioners that refresh color between visits. Matching the right Dualsenses line to the client's hair texture and goal is the difference between a retail sale they love and one that sits unused under their sink.
