REF Intense Hydrate Shampoo — Hydrating Shampoo for Dry or Color-Treated Hair, Silicone-Free Moisture

Created for hair that needs deep hydration, this shampoo combines mild surfactants with silicone-free conditioning agents and botanical-sourced oils to soften and detangle while you cleanse. The balance of gentle cleansers and moisturizing ingredients aims to leave hair feeling more manageable and less prone to frizz after rinsing. It rinses clean yet supports ongoing conditioning when followed with a treatment or conditioner.

How does this shampoo hydrate hair without weighing it down?

The formula uses lightweight moisturizing agents like glycerin, propanediol and coconut oil derivatives that attract and hold water without creating heavy build-up. Conditioning polymers deliver slip for detangling while being water-dispersible, so residues are minimized.

• Glycerin and propanediol draw moisture into the hair fiber.
• Polyquaterniums improve combability and reduce friction.
• Dimethiconol provides smoothness without a waxy feel.
• Mild surfactants cleanse but preserve natural oils.

Will this shampoo work on colored or chemically-treated hair?

REF Intense Hydrate is formulated with gentle surfactants and conditioning agents suitable for color-treated and chemically processed hair. Its mild cleansing system helps prevent excessive drying that can accentuate color fade or weaken treated strands.

• Non-aggressive surfactants reduce strip effects on color.
• Humectants and silicones help smooth cuticles post-treatment.
• Free-rinseable polymers aid manageability after chemical services.

How should I use it for best results on thick or curly hair?

Apply to thoroughly wetted hair, massage to create a gentle lather, and let it sit briefly to allow humectants to penetrate before rinsing. For thicker or curlier textures, a second quick shampoo can ensure even distribution; follow with a rich conditioner or mask while hair is still damp.

• Use on wet hair; concentrate at roots and work through lengths.
• Repeat once for very porous or product-heavy hair.
• Finish with a leave-in or rinse-out conditioner for best softness.

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The ingredient blend pairs surfactants that cleanse effectively with emulsifiers and conditioning agents that restore softness and manageability. Botanical-sourced coconut oil and tocopheryl acetate add nourishment and antioxidant support to help hair appear healthier over time.

• Mild surfactants: clean without excessive stripping.
• Coco-glucoside and decyl glucoside: plant-derived emulsifiers for gentle lather.
• Polyquaternium-10 and -7: detangling and anti-static benefits.
• Dimethiconol and coconut oil: smoothing and softening agents.

Who is this for? REF Intense Hydrate Shampoo suits people with dry, brittle, or frizzy hair seeking a hydrating daily or weekly cleanser that improves manageability. It’s a good choice for those with color-treated, chemically processed, or naturally coarse hair who want a sulfate-mild wash that pairs well with conditioners and masks. If you need heavy reconstruction for severely damaged hair, use this shampoo alongside targeted treatments for best results.
