have questions?

Get started here
No, the formula of the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo is not different from the PEPTIDE PREP™ pH maintenance shampoo. Just the name has changed, the formulation you know and love is the same.
The DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo delivers healthier hair and scalp after just one wash. Its optimized pH helps maintain the hair cuticle, preventing excess water from entering the hair, which can cause damage, dullness, frizz, and tangling. With this shampoo, your client’s color is maintained, hair feels strong, healthy, looks smooth with less frizz, and is easier to style with less tangles. This formula moisturizes hair without weighing it down, and preserves the scalp microbiome for a healthier-feeling scalp and a gentler cleanse. Coupled with the DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner, these formulas shield the healthiest hair from daily damage.
Use this gentle shampoo for higher frequency washing like multiple wash services or clients with less buildup. This pH-balanced formula is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse, delivering healthier hair and scalp after just one wash.
You need both shampoos to deliver the most effective clean while maintaining your client’s hair + scalp health. Detox shampoo is engineered for less frequent heavy-duty washing, and DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo (previously pH maintenance shampoo) is engineered for frequent washing.

the DAMAGE SHIELD difference

DAMAGE SHIELD shampoo’s optimized pH reduces excess cuticle swelling during washing—preventing damage that causes dullness, frizz + tangling.

The best stuff I've ever used

This is the only product that actually does what it says it will do. I know that it's expensive but I will say I've spent more on products that promise just as much that did way less. I bleach my hair and color it and have for over a decade and this is the one thing that's made it feel like hair again

Wow!

What a difference a week makes. I used the Damage Shield shampoo and conditioner for four washes. My hair is significantly softer, and my curl pattern is improved. I had high hopes, but this is better than I imagined. I’m going to recommend this product line to everyone!

Love the Damage Shield Shampoo and Conditioner!

I love the Damage Shield Shampoo and Conditioner. I use these products after my hair has been treated. My hair stays soft, manageable, smooth, and less breakable. Your products are so effective- they are " magic" in a bottle. Absolutely, worth the cost, for the lasting results!!
