How to use it
Wet through, then a small amount
Properly soaked hair lathers with half the shampoo. Half-damp hair is why people use twice as much.
Scalp only, fingertips
Nails scratch, pads massage. Everything below the ears gets cleaned on the way down.
Rinse cool, condition the ends
Cool water at the end for shine. Keep conditioner below the ears or you lose the lift.
Volume, or the appearance of it
Most volumising shampoos add something to prop the hair up. This one takes the weight out instead.

What's inside and why it's there
Twenty-one ingredients, 98% of natural origin, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert. No silicones. Nut free and vegan, no GMO ingredients, recyclable packaging. Contains hydrolysed wheat protein, so it is not gluten free.
Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol
Three sugar-derived humectants working as a set rather than one doing all the water-holding. They're the reason a shampoo aimed at volume doesn't leave the lengths parched.
Brassicyl Isoleucinate Esylate
Brassica-derived, and the reason hair comes out smooth without anything clinging to it. Silicone gives the same feel on day one and drags the roots down by week three; this doesn't build up.
Hydrolysed Wheat Protein
Small enough to get into split ends rather than sit on them, with betaine and glyceryl oleate staying behind after the rinse. This is the half of the formula aimed below the ears.
Questions people ask before buying
Honestly, it can't add any — what it can do is stop taking it away. There's no silicone and nothing else in here that stays on the hair shaft weighing it down, so hair dries with its own body intact. Keeping conditioner off your roots does the rest.
No. The lather comes from sodium coco-sulfate, which is made from coconut rather than being SLS or SLES, and two gentler cleansers work around it. Worth knowing up front if sulfate-free is a line you won't cross.
No — there's wheat protein in it, and taking it out would mean losing the thing that looks after your ends. Anyone avoiding gluten in haircare should give this one a miss.
No. Read all twenty-one ingredients on this page — there isn't a dimethicone among them. That matters more in a volumising shampoo than anywhere else, because silicone build-up is what flattens hair over time.
Yes — fine, thick and curly all get on with it. Curly hair in particular tends to like a shampoo with no silicone in it, though you may want something richer as a conditioner afterwards.
Xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol and xylitol are humectants derived from sugars. They hold water in the hair, which is the nourishing half of what this shampoo is for — and they do it without adding any weight.
Usually it would be, because most of them clean aggressively to keep hair light. This one goes the other way — wheat protein, three humectants and glyceryl oleate all stay behind on the lengths.
Green tea and aloe — clean and quiet rather than perfumed. Just two allergens on the label, limonene and linalool.
No, none. The scents in our range are built from natural raw materials, and phthalates are a synthetic class of ingredient we don't use.
