"Made my hair super dry and frizzy. Used this because it was professionally recommended and cost a lot so I assumed it would be good. Currently, my hair looks like a wig because of this shampoo. When I finally switched shampoo my hair felt so much better, it was crazy! Paid a lot and got no benefit. " - Rebecca

Description

Achieve a harmonious balance with KEVIN.MURPHY BALANCING.WASH! This sulphate and paraben-free shampoo is made with a refreshing blend of botanicals to revitalize and rejuvenate your hair. Perfect for everyday use or for those who wash their hair frequently.

The gentle cleansers derived from coconut, combined with green tea and myrtle extracts, clean your hair effortlessly. Lavender, tea tree and geranium provide nourishing care to your hair and scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. With the addition of Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, your hair receives a stimulating boost to promote cellular regeneration and remove toxins.

The formula also features Wheat Amino Acids that help promote hair growth, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Extract to restore shine and balance the pH level of your hair, and Canaga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil to balance oily scalps while also providing a natural sebum balance. The addition of Superoxide Dismutase prevents oxidation of color, while Pelargonium Gravelons (Geranium) Flower Oil helps manageability and provides natural shine.

Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract cleanses and stimulates the scalp to prevent hair loss, and also provides optimum conditions for healthy hair growth by fortifying hair fibers and oxygenating hair follicles. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea) adds strengthening antioxidants that help prevent breakage, while Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract protects against free radicals, inhibits UVA oxidation, and repairs damage from oxidation. Finally, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil balances the production of oil from sebaceous glands, making it helpful for those with dry or oily hair.

With KEVIN.MURPHY BALANCING.WASH, you can achieve a healthy balance for your hair while enjoying its refreshing fragrance and revitalizing properties. Plus, it's cruelty-free, so you can feel good about your purchase!
