KEVIN.MURPHY BLOW.DRY.WASH is a smoothing shampoo that protects hair from heat styling.
This clever formula gently cleanses while helping to control frizz and improve manageability, so blow-drying feels easier and faster. It works by coating each strand with protective, smoothing ingredients that help guard against damage from your hairdryer.
The texture is a silky, lightweight gel that lathers softly and rinses clean, leaving hair feeling fresh, not heavy. Hair dries to a smoother, shinier finish with a soft, touchable feel.
Ideal for anyone who blow-dries regularly, has frizz-prone or unruly hair, or wants a sleeker look. Use on wash days before styling to enjoy hair that looks more polished, with less effort and less stress from heat.

- Apply a small amount of BLOW.DRY.WASH to scalp and roots.
- Massage gently to build a soft lather, working through mid-lengths.
- Rinse well and repeat if hair has heavy product build-up.
- Follow with your preferred conditioner, then blow-dry as desired.
