Washing effectively removes sebum and residue, with an immediate effect on cleanliness and volume.

Accessibility

3/3

A product that is easy to find and takes just a few minutes in the shower. Affordable formulas are enough; drying time depends mainly on the length and density of the hair.

Shampoo removes sebum, sweat and residue from your scalp and hair. Wet the roots thoroughly, work in the shampoo with your fingertips, then rinse well. Focus on the scalp without rubbing the lengths together, and use conditioner on the lengths if needed.

The right frequency depends on your hair: fine, oily hair may need daily washing, while dry or very curly hair can often be washed less frequently. Do not force yourself to go several days between washes. Choose a formula that cleans thoroughly without irritation; the words ‘sulfate-free’ alone do not guarantee better results.
