More about this product

High humidity causes water molecules inside each hair strand to move in ways that create frizz, flyaways, and stickiness. This formula addresses that at the source. It is formulated with mannitol, a repairing ingredient that suppresses water movement within the hair under humid conditions, keeping the strand's structure stable even as humidity rises. The same five essential repair ingredients found in the original THE ANSWER shampoo are present here, alongside higher concentrations of ceramide alpha, olive fruit oil, and malic acid for the season's specific demands. Lamellar Platform Technology stores all of these ingredients within the shampoo's structure and releases them through a serum-like lather as you wash.

How to use
  1. Thoroughly wet hair.
  2. Pump an appropriate amount into palms and spread across hands.
  3. Apply evenly from roots to ends and massage gently to lather.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Pair with THE ANSWER Seasonal Care SS treatment for best results.
