The Cleanse & Extend Set

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Preserves Pigment | Hydrates & Softens | Absorbs Oil

Keep hair fresher, longer. A pigment-preserving, color-safe shampoo and hydrating conditioner reset hair, then a lightweight, tinted, non-aerosol dry shampoo absorbs oil to boost volume and refresh between washes—without leaving a white residue.

WHAT IS IT?

 

Cleanse, condition, then extend time between washes. Wash Shampoo treats the scalp like skin with our Mela-9® Complex to lift buildup without stripping while helping preserve natural pigment. Smooth Conditioner follows with lightweight, strand-strengthening hydration for slip, shine, and easier detangling. On non-wash days, Wait A Sec® refreshes roots with ultra-fine, tinted, non-aerosol powders that absorb oil on contact, adds touchable volume, and leaves no white residue. Color-safe, dermatologist-tested, and hypoallergenic.

100% natural cedar + sage fragrance; made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, PEG, formaldehyde, or dyes.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

 

Full-Size Wait A Sec® Dry Shampoo (0.53 fl. oz. / 15g)
Full-Size Wash Shampoo (8.45 fl. oz. / 250mL)
Full Size Smooth Conditioner (8.45 fl. oz / 250mL)

    Reported hair felt softer
  • 80%
    Reported hair looked healthier

How to Apply

Wash is a gentle shampoo with proactive ingredients that stimulate pigment production and support hair health.

HOW TO USE:
  • Dispense a silver dollar-size amount into your hand and work the product into a lather.
  • Wet hair and apply to scalp and roots.
  • If more lather is needed, add more water and continue to massage into the scalp.
  • Remember to focus on the back of your head as well.
  • Allow the product to sit on the scalp for several minutes.
  • This allows the active ingredients to fully absorb into the scalp.
  • Rinse thoroughly, and follow with Smooth conditioner.
Smooth is a nourishing and clean conditioner that helps retain moisture inside the hair strand.

HOW TO USE:
  • It leaves a conditioning barrier to help hair to look healthier without feeling weighed down.
  • Depending on your conditioning needs, apply a quarter to silver dollar size amount to mid shaft and ends.
  • Tip: Conditioners should not be applied on or near the scalp.
  • Smooth can be left on the hair for several minutes for deeper conditioning.
  • Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute before rinsing.
  • Best when used with Wash shampoo.
Wait A Sec® powder dry shampoo extends time between washes by absorbing excess oil and adding volume.

HOW TO USE:
  • Apply 1-2 pumps per section of hair, around 4-8" from the scalp or hair.
  • The subtly tinted powder blends well with all hair colors and won’t leave a white residue.

How it Works

Wash Shampoo

  • Stimulate

    A clinically efficacious peptide helps with repigmentation by stimulating the MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor).

  • Prepare

    Wasabi extract, sesame seed extract and zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit extract work to help the active ingredients penetrate the scalp and access the follicle

  • Nourish

    Ginseng, fo-ti and caffeine provide nourishment to the root to promote cell turnover and promote healthier hair growth

  • Volumize

    Panthenol plays a role in activating the proliferation of cells in the skin barrier, and also helps bind water to the skin and hair, balancing and adding volume

Smooth Conditioner

  • Nourish

    Hydrolyzed barley protein and coffee extract work together to build internal strength in the hair strand

  • Protect

    Jojoba and shea butter work to seal the cuticle and protect the hair from heat and environmental stress

  • Volumize

    Panthenol actively attracts and retains moisture in the hair strand, helping it look and feel more volumized

Wait A Sec Dry Shampoo

  • Enhance

    Mica adds a subtle tint that blends well with all hair colors and adds vibrancy.

  • Volumize

    Silica strengthens and adds fullness to the hair strand.

  • Extend

    Aluminum starch absorbs oil, leaving the hair feeling refreshed.

  • Nourish

    Dehydrated antioxidants and a clinically efficacious peptide support hair pigment and growth.
