What is INEJ Smooth Shampoo?

INEJ Smooth Shampoo by Code Zero is a smoothing shampoo of the INEJ line for dry, frizz-prone and hard-to-manage hair, in a 500 ml bottle for home use and the salon wash basin. It cleanses with a soft lather and leaves the hair softer, shinier and easier to comb, the ideal base for a smooth blow-dry. Hydrolysed rice and soy proteins and lavender oil care for the lengths, and about 10 ml is enough for one wash, so a bottle gives around 50 washes.

Specifications

Who INEJ Smooth Shampoo is for

• Dry, frizz-prone hair that puffs up and is hard to tame after the wash.
• Hair that needs a smoother, more manageable base before the blow-dry or the flat iron.
• Salons that open a smoothing blow-dry service at the wash basin with the INEJ Smooth routine.
• Home care two to three times a week, followed by the conditioner of the same line.

For dry, dull hair that calls for a wash with nourishing oils and shea butter, see the comparison below.

Key ingredients

• Hydrolyzed Rice Protein and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: plant proteins that care for the hair fibre and give the lengths a smoother, more supple feel.
• Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: conditioning agent from guar that makes wet hair easier to detangle and comb.
• Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil: lavender essential oil, for a fresh, pleasant scent during and after the wash.
• Echinacea Purpurea Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract: echinacea extract, the botanical touch of the formula.

Results

After the wash the hair feels soft and supple, detangles easily and dries with less visible frizz. The lengths look smoother, more disciplined and shinier, and the brush glides through them for an easier blow-dry. Followed by the conditioner of the line, the hair takes on a soft, polished look with a light, fresh scent.

How to use INEJ Smooth Shampoo

1. Apply an adequate amount to wet hair and massage gently until a soft lather forms, at the roots and along the lengths.
2. Leave on for a few minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
4. Follow with INEJ Smooth Conditioner; repeat two to three times a week.
