What is the PEPTIDE PREP™ pH maintenance shampoo?
This is a color-safe, pH-optimized shampoo with the K18PEPTIDE™ to effectively cleanse while maintaining hair health, for hair that feels strong, smooth, and healthy.
What does the pH maintenance shampoo do?
This optimized pH shampoo (4.5-5.5) helps prevent excess swelling of the hair cuticle to help reduce frizz and tangling, preserve color, and maintain health and shine—especially important for damaged hair. An optimized pH also helps preserve the scalp microbiome and is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse.
When do I use the pH maintenance shampoo?
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, and leaves a clean canvas for treatment products.
How does the pH maintenance shampoo work?
The pH maintenance shampoo is powered by plant-derived surfactants to deliver safe but effective high-power cleansing that breaks down and removes dirt + oil. Designed for damaged hair, this pH-optimized formula helps prevent excess swelling of the hair cuticle during washing—which helps maintain color, improve hair health and shine, reduce frizz, and preserve the scalp microbiome. It mimics hair’s natural pH, so this formula is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse.
Why do I need both shampoos?
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 pH maintenance shampoo is engineered for frequent washing.
microbiome-friendly
Optimized pH preserves a balanced scalp microbiome + protects hair’s natural moisture levels for a smooth hair result.
I love how my hair has improved drastically. It is so much more manageable. Not only does my thin hair feel thicker but also looks thicker. Jeff recommended this product after researching it. Jeff has been cutting and dying my hair for years. He saw the difference and recommends it to his clients.
