LA BIOSTHETIQUE Fortifying Shampoo RT 250ml

The cleansing step in Méthode Régénérante, La Biosthétique's scalp-care line for hair that has gone fine and soft. It is mild enough for frequent washing and is built as the first step of a longer routine rather than as a product that works on its own.

What's in it

• Coconut fatty acid and oat amino acid condensate — the mild cleansing base; conditions the scalp as it washes.
• Wheat peptide — conditions the hair shaft, which is what gives limp hair a bit more substance.
• White lupin and microalgae extract — the botanical pairing that runs through this range.

How to use it

Distribute evenly through the hair and over the scalp, leave briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Since the scalp is the target, work it into the skin with your fingertips instead of piling the lengths on top of your head.

Worth knowing

Silicone-free and paraben-free, and formulated to leave the scalp's pH where it should be. It is the wash the range's leave-on treatments are meant to follow. Cosmetic scalp care — persistent or sudden hair loss is worth discussing with a GP or dermatologist.
