Benefits

What the gloss shampoo does.

  • Clean where oil collects.

    Washes oil and product off your roots and scalp.

  • Fresh, glossy hair.

    Your hair rinses clean and dries with a glossy finish.

  • Smooth, not stripped.

    Aloe, betaine and wheat protein, so a real clean still feels smooth.

  • Wash the roots, rinse the rest.

    Work it into your scalp and let the rinse carry it through your lengths.

Clean Wash, Vegan Gloss Shampoo

Why we made it

Clean roots. Glossy ends.

Massage into wet roots and scalp, then let the foam rinse through the lengths. Follow with conditioner on the ends.

A real wash for your roots.

Sodium Coco-Sulfate works with coconut and glucoside cleansers to wash away oil and buildup. Aloe, betaine and wheat protein help hair feel smooth afterward. Massage into wet roots and scalp, then rinse through the lengths. It isn't sulfate-free and doesn't change how much oil your scalp produces.

The ritual

How to use it

  1. Wet your hair.

  2. Massage Clean Wash into your roots and scalp with your fingertips until it lathers.

  3. Let the foam rinse through the rest of your hair. No need to scrub your ends.

  4. Rinse well, then use the gloss conditioner on your ends.

A little more clarity

The questions worth asking before you buy.

  • How do I clean oily roots without roughening the ends?

    The PALIM approach · Gloss shampoo Shampoo only where oil collects: your scalp and roots. The rinse carries enough through your lengths to clean them, and your ends get the gloss conditioner instead.
  • Will it really clean oily roots?

    The PALIM approach · Gloss shampoo Yes. Sodium Coco-Sulfate works with coconut-based and glucoside cleansers to wash away oil and buildup. It isn't sulfate-free.

A few things worth knowing

Who is Clean Wash for?

For wash days when your roots need cleansing and you want a fresh, glossy finish. It replaces your regular shampoo. You can keep the conditioner you already enjoy; you do not need a full PALIM routine.

How often should I wash, and do I need to shampoo twice?

Wash as often as your scalp and hair need. Massage into wet roots and scalp, then rinse. A second wash can help when there is more oil or styling product to remove, but it is optional.

Will my roots stay oil-free for longer?

Clean Wash removes oil and buildup during washing. How soon oil returns depends on your scalp; we do not promise a set number of oil-free days. Between washes, a dry shampoo can refresh the roots when needed.

What if my roots are oily but my ends are dry?

Focus the shampoo on your scalp and roots, letting the foam rinse through your lengths. Follow with your usual conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends. Your ends do not need the same scrubbing as your roots.

Is it sulfate-free or tested for colored hair?

It contains Sodium Coco-Sulfate, so it is not sulfate-free. We have not tested it as a color-safe shampoo. If your color or treatment needs a particular shampoo, follow that aftercare advice before choosing this one.

Is it vegan, silicone-free or suitable for my allergies?

It is vegan, silicone-free and nut-free. It contains hydrolyzed wheat protein and is not gluten-free. You will find the complete ingredient list above so you can check it against your own sensitivities.

What does it smell like?

Woody and green, with notes of freshly cut grass and smoky vetiver. Soft Conditioner has the same scent. Both contain fragrance.

Do I need a scalp treatment as well?

Only if your scalp needs an occasional extra step. If shampoo alone leaves it comfortable and clean, that may be enough. A scalp serum or scrub is optional and does not replace shampoo.
