The Detox shampoo claims to break down buildup without stripping the hair and scalp. It certainly gets the job done, but my hair wasn't left feeling too "squeaky" or difficult to run my fingers through either. This is likely a result of an ingredient the brand doesn't call out.
"To mitigate any potential of the hair being stripped the shampoo uses guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride which is a cationic polymer that helps the hair feel conditioned and smooth," says Olu. "Hair has a net negative charge, so using positively charged ingredients such as [this one] helps to smooth the hair. In addition, the use of panthenol helps smooth the cuticle as well.
The formula, Ko adds, includes a melange of surfactants that together, wind up delivering a gentle-yet-thorough cleanse. "Surfactants aren't 'smart' though, so they're not specifically targeting dirt and residue on the hair compared to components that they want to be left behind," Ko explains. "Often, it's just a gentler cleanse compared to a stronger one.
Olu warns against using the Detox shampoo if you have certain skin or scalp conditions because of the inclusion ofshampoo if that's the case. Overall, both chemists said the shampoos are suitable for all hair types. Ko even noted that there's promising literature on the peptides that led to the development of K18.
