  2. Moisture Extreme Enriching Shampoo

    Moisture Extreme
    Enriching Shampoo

    Nourishes natural tightly coiled curls and very porous hair.
    £12.50 - £76.00

Damaged hair is porous hair. When the cuticle layer is lifted through heat styling, chemical processing, colour treatments, or everyday mechanical stress, the internal structure of each strand becomes exposed. Moisture escapes, strength diminishes, and hair that was once resilient becomes prone to frizz, breakage, and a rough, uneven texture. Our repairing shampoos work by replenishing moisture and smoothing the cuticle from the first use.

Hair damage is a structural problem. Every strand of hair is protected by a cuticle, a layer of overlapping scales that lie flat when the hair is healthy. Heat styling, chemical processing including colouring, bleaching and perming, and mechanical damage from friction all cause these scales to lift and separate, creating a rough surface, increased porosity, and vulnerability to further damage.

A damaged hair shampoo cannot repair the structure of hair that has already broken down as hair is not living tissue and cannot regenerate. What it can do is restore moisture, smooth the cuticle temporarily through the right combination of proteins and emollients, and reduce the friction that causes further breakage. Used consistently, it significantly improves the appearance, feel, and manageability of damaged hair.

Our repairing range centres on two formulas, each matched to a specific hair type. The Re-Moisturising Smoothing Shampoo is designed for coarse, wavy, and naturally frizzy hair, textures that tend to be porous by nature and require consistent deep hydration to remain manageable and resist breakage. It deposits conditioning agents along the hair shaft that temporarily fill gaps in the cuticle, reducing frizz and improving elasticity.

The Moisture Extreme Shampoo is formulated for the highest levels of porosity: naturally tightly coiled curl textures and very porous hair that has undergone significant chemical processing. This formula delivers intense nourishment to hair that loses moisture rapidly due to the open, rough structure of its cuticle..

Can shampoo actually repair damaged hair?

Shampoo cannot reverse structural damage to the hair shaft, damaged cells cannot regenerate. However, a repairing shampoo can restore moisture to dehydrated hair, smooth the cuticle with conditioning agents, and reduce friction that causes further breakage. Used consistently, it improves the appearance, feel, and manageability of damaged hair.

What is the difference between the Re-Moisturising and Moisture Extreme shampoos?

Both address moisture loss in damaged hair, but at different intensity levels. The Re-Moisturising Smoothing Shampoo suits coarse, wavy, and frizzy hair. The Moisture Extreme Enriching Shampoo is more intensive, formulated for very porous hair and natural tightly coiled curl textures.

How often should I use a shampoo for damaged hair?

Damaged hair benefits from regular, gentle cleansing. Washing too infrequently allows product and environmental residue to accumulate, which can weigh weakened strands down further. Our repairing shampoos are formulated for regular use.

My hair is breaking excessively, should I see a Trichologist?

If your hair is breaking in areas like the crown or hairline, and normal styling does not account for the degree of loss, a Trichologist assessment is worth seeking. Breakage can indicate structural damage but can also signal nutritional deficiency or a hormonal change that needs addressing alongside your topical routine.
