Expert note

Excellent repairing shampoo with premium ingredients including Hydrolyzed Keratin, Ceramide NP, and Argan Oil. Great for damaged, frizzy, or chemically-treated hair. The ceramides help restore the hair barrier while keratin strengthens. Contains a moderately strong surfactant (Olefin Sulfonate) which cleanses well but may be too stripping for very dry hair. Best for normal to oily hair needing smoothing and repair.

Keratin smoothing oil shampoo by Keratin — a shampoo formulated to balance and care for scalp and hair. Designed to leave hair feeling refreshed and lightweight.
