3 functions the maker describes

The maker calls the series' mechanism the "Color Luminous System" and lists the following 3.

Aim	Maker's description
Care for coarseness	Lipid repair ingredients (squalane / softening ingredient) replenish the lipids and moisture that tend to be lost through hair coloring
Shine	Arginine repairs melanin holes inside the hair, and high-luminance oil coats the hair. Increases specular reflection of light
Color retention	Color shield ingredients coat the hair surface and prevent hair color from fading

SHISEIDO LUMINOFORCE Shampoo | Tax incl. 250ml ¥3,300 / 500ml ¥5,060

When washing, at our salons we recommend lukewarm water. Wash the scalp with the pads of your fingers, and just pass the lather through the ends without rubbing to reduce the strain on colored ends.

SHISEIDO LUMINOFORCE Treatment | Tax incl. 250g ¥4,400 / 500g ¥6,600

The Treatment and Mask are alternatives within the same series. At our salons, we recommend the Treatment every time and the Mask on days when coarseness bothers you or on weekends. Apply both from the ends to the mid-lengths, avoiding the scalp.

SHISEIDO LUMINOFORCE Brilliance Oil | Tax incl. 100ml ¥3,850

At our salons, we explain applying Brilliance Oil mainly to the ends after towel-drying, then drying. Too much makes hair heavy, so starting with a little and adding more is the way to avoid mistakes.

Scent

The maker describes the scent as "a gorgeous scent reminiscent of a bouquet of roses," using rare natural rose fragrance.

FAQ

Can it be used on both light and dark colors?

The maker's descriptions make no distinction by color brightness. It is a series for colored hair in general.

How is it different from color shampoo (purple shampoo)?

The maker describes LUMINOFORCE as a series that prevents fading and enhances shine. Adding color is not part of the description. If you want to add color, see How to Choose a Color Shampoo Shade.

Do I need to get all of them?

You can start with just the 2 products, Shampoo and Treatment. If dryness or coarseness bothers you, add the Mask or Oil.
