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.
Calm It Down™ is the first ever clinically effective post-hair dye scalp serum to soothe, reduce redness and counteract oxidative stress.

HOW TO USE:
  • After rinsing hair dye or other chemicals used on the scalp, follow with Wash shampoo and Smooth conditioner
  • After rinsing Smooth conditioner, comb the hair away from the face.
  • Shake Welll
  • Depending on hair thickness, fill 2-4 pipettes and apply directly to wet scalp, working from the front hairline to the back starting at your natural part.
  • Massage in with your finger tips. Do not rinse off.
  • Follow with additional applications as needed.
  • Air-dry or blow-dry to achieve desired style.

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

Calm It Down Scalp Serum

  • Soothe

    Extracts from Brazilian pepper trees and Australian aniseed nettle relieve redness and irritation.

  • Relieve

    Pentasodium Tetracarboxymethyl Palmitoyl Dipeptide-12 (and) Tripeptide-79 help to relieve scalp stress and manage inflammation.

  • Stimulate

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

  • Safeguard

    Antioxidants including Tangerine extract and Fo-Ti help reduce oxidative stress in the scalp.

    Calm It Down Scalp Serum
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Great protection before hair coloring

    I use this on my scalp just before I get my hair colored. It reduces any tingling or stinging I used to get while the color processes.

    Scalp serum

    I never realized how important scalp health is for good hair growth and how irritating hair dye products s to the skin on my head. This serum is so soothing and I feel like my roots truly feel the difference when I use it.

    Worth the investment in my opinion!
