Ordinary shampoos can leave oily, silicones, or styling-product buildup that blocks keratin adhesion. This 10 oz clarifying formula is engineered specifically for use prior to keratin treatments: it lifts deposits, balances the cuticle, and creates the receptive surface stylists need for an even, long-lasting result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this shampoo improve keratin treatment results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy raising the shampoo pH and focusing on deep cleansing, the formula loosens and removes clingy residues that otherwise prevent keratin from bonding to the hair shaft.
