<p><strong>Does the Shampoo lather?</strong></p>
<p><i>Yes. Our Shampoo is sulfate free, however, it delivers an abundance of lather due to a root extract we use instead of sulfates. The secret to our shampoo is to add more water while massaging, not more product. The root extract buffs over damaged porosity bars on the hair shaft (particularly common in colored hair) so be sure to use it on the ends of the hair which need this nurture the most.</i></p>
<p><strong>How is it best to use the Conditioner?</strong></p>
<p><i>The Conditioner is our jewel and INSTANTLY repairs all hair texture to soft silk. The key is to comb the conditioner through to ensure even distribution. If you don't have a wide tooth comb please use a wet brush to comb the conditioner through your hair. Our Conditioner heals hair by closing the hair cuticles tightly without coating it like traditional conditioners, nor leaving harmful residues like protein or keratin. Its performance is phenomenal.</i></p>
<p><strong>How is it best to use the Finishing Serum?</strong></p>

For example, someone with extensions would use the Finishing Serum on the their thin, fine, natural hair and the Curl Revive on their extensions.</i></p>
