Rich Cleansing Colour Protecting Shampoo 250ml

Product code: T237796U

Keep your hair vibrant, smooth and deeply nourished with our Kind to Biome® certified cleanser. Formulated with strengthening plant Keratin, colour-protecting Quinoa Pro and hydrating Sugar Beet to repair and condition thirsty and damaged hair from root to end. If your hair is calling out for moisture, this one's for you.

Colour-protecting Nourishing Gentle Cleansing Kind to Biome is an official accreditation confirming our shampoos keep your scalp and hair healthy as they don't interfere with the skin microbiome. Your microbiome is the collection of microorganisms which can get affected by hair products leading to inflammation or sensitivity, and conditions such dandruff, itching or flaking. This can inhibit new hair regrowth and lead to dryness. If you suffer from these, you may have an out of balance scalp microbiome.

Fall in Love with the Fragrance

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

I received a sample SMcK product in the Liberty Advent calendar last year. I fell in love with the smell! I have used the shampoo and conditioner ever since. The condition of my hair is greatly improved. I often need to wash my hair twice as the product does not lather, but my hair is healthier and happier as a result!

Fantastic shampoo AND conditioner

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

This product is AMAZING, I love it and it's so good for my 'old lady' hair and I'm sure it's reduced my hair loss.......however I have to decant it into a softer bottle because it's so hard and difficult to squeeze when you have arthritis, but I persevere because I love it.

I obviously have tried the “normal” size bottle and so this size is perfect for a wash a day for a two week holiday

Fine thinning curly hair

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

I have fine, thinning curly hair and although it is fine it is dry and tends to frizz. I have found this shampoo a delight to use, the smell is fantastic and although it is for dry hair it is not too heavy and does not weigh my hair down

Amazing stuff!

Originally posted on SMCK Hair Care Products Limited

This is the best shampoo I've ever used, I immediately bought a full size. Feels great when lathering and hair is not as dry/squeaky clean so nourishes really well. I use high end repair/moisture shampoos and this is by far the best I've tried.
