FAQs

A professional color-preservation topcoat designed to extend the life of salon color between appointments. Powered by its proprietary HydraGlow Shield™ technology, QOAT supports lasting vibrancy, clarity, and shine for all color-treated hair by targeting the structural and environmental factors that contribute to premature fade.

QOAT is powered by HydraGlow Shield™, its proprietary color-preservation system designed to maintain color vibrancy between appointments. This advanced polymer network creates a lightweight, breathable shield around color-treated hair that helps to reduce pigment loss while defending against the environmental drivers of premature fade, including UV, pollution, hard-water minerals, heat, and humidity.
