Description

Say goodbye to build-up with the clarifying power of Defy Damage Detox Shampoo, the bond-building cleanser that whisks away traces of hard water, minerals, metals, and accumulated product, for healthy, shiny, softer hair. Directions: Use Defy Damage Detox Shampoo twice monthly to keep hair free of product and hard water buildup. Follow with Defy Damage KBOND20 or Protective Conditioner to keep hair healthy-looking and strong* (*Against combing breakage on damaged hair during heat styling). * SLS/SLES = Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/Sodium Laureth Sulfate The Defy Damage Detox Shampoo has a silver color to it. Will it affect my blonde tone? The Activated Charcoal in Defy Damage Detox Shampoo gives the product a silver glow. However, the Activated Charcoal does not alter hair tone. Can I use Defy Damage Detox Shampoo daily? The recommended use is once a week or whenever you have excessive product buildup on hair. We also recommend using Defy Damage Detox Shampoo before going to the salon for your next lightening or color service. How does metal build up in hair? Trace minerals and metals are found in household water that we use to wash our hair, and during the washing process, they can be left behind on your hair. Should I use Defy Damage Detox Shampoo after swimming to remove chlorine from hair? Yes, Defy Damage Detox Shampoo can remove chlorine from hair and eliminate the green tone caused by chlorine exposure. Can I use Defy Damage Detox Shampoo prior to chemical services? Yes, you can use Defy Damage Detox Shampoo before chemical services. It effectively removes hard water buildup, metals (including copper), minerals, and salts.

  • Really works!
Style: 33.8 Fl Oz
I love this shampoo I have really hard water and my hair gets so bad it won't absorb conditioner even with shower filters etc it just takes longer to get as bad. Normally I'm using Malibu hard water treatment,which I like but... I wanted to see if there was something better. I've been using this for several weeks now and I got that 40% off deal during Prime week so I was happy about that because I wasn't sure if it would be better or not, but I have used Joico products in the past so I was hopeful. This does not disappoint I could feel an immediate difference even with just one wash I could tell in the shower just putting it on that it was absorbing better. My hair has been so nice now with repeat use. I do not recommend using this more than once a week because you do need a good conditioner after but at least it actually absorbs into the hair! 😂. I also like the smell it's not too girly so my husband can still use it and won't smell perfumey! ... show more

  • Best on the market
Style: 10.1 Fl Oz
Amazing product that will leave your hair clean, soft, manageable and smelling fresh for up to 3 days. Since it’s concentrated, a little bit goes a long way giving you a good bit of value for your money.

  • Awesome clarifying shampoo

Clarity shampoo that smells and works great. Highly recommended by my hairdresser. Love the large size. I refill a smaller bottle and keep this on hand.

  • Hair Saver
Style: 33.8 Fl Oz
I've had hair issues for about two years. My first round of hair thinning was solved by hair vitamins, but when it started up again about a year ago, nothing seemed to help. The vitamins made it to worse. Products meant for thinning and damaged hair would seem to make more of it fall. If it didn't make it fall, then it just weighed it down and made it look wet/oily. I do have very hard water, so I finally decided maybe this was more of the problem than I thought. Now, this just arrived and I've only used it once so far. I wish it was fragrance free, and it has a lot of ingredients in it I normally wouldn't use, but my hair looks and feels the best it has in at least 4 months. And rather than being as careful as possible washing my hair (at this point I generally just coat it with minimal massaging and let it sit) I felt like I could really wash it, for the first time in almost a year. Only time will tell, but here's hoping adding this to my routine will be a surprise solution to multiple issues. I got the large bottle, since it cost basically the same as the small one, so value for money was very good. Especially for something that really made a difference. ... show more

Great product to revitalize hair. But it can actually dry out hair if used too often.

  • Works well
Style: 33.8 Fl Oz
So this past summer I used a new chlorine/shock product in my swimming pool and unfortunately it damaged my hair like nothing has ever done before. I don't know what the heck it did but it coated my hair and made it Feel Like Straw. I tried this damage detox shampoo and it worked really well. It didn't fully take away the straw feeling but to be fair I tried like half a dozen different products like this and none of them worked as well as this did. Ultimately I had to end up cutting off all of the damaged ends and I'm still in the process of getting rid of the damaged hair. I didn't want to shave my head of course. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way and it Suds really nicely. It has a pleasant scent. It was gentle on my color treated hair and did not strip the color away. I'll keep using this every now and then because we do have hard water in Arizona. It has a lot of minerals in it and I'm sure that has an effect on my hair. ... show more
