SHAMPOOING &

CONDITIONING THE

3 MAIN TYPES OF SHAMPOOS
1. Clarifying Shampoo: cleanses the hair of all
product build up and anything that is blocking the
cuticle.
2. Conditioning Shampoo: Provides moisture and
shine to the hair.
3. Scalp Shampoos: Scalp shampoos will remove the
build-up of toxins, sebum, and residues that are
