The Monthly Deep Reset Your Hair Actually Needs

Your Hair Is a Plant® - and even with gentle cowashing, soil eventually needs a deep cleanse. This is your once-a-month reset, not your weekly routine.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE PLANT SCIENCE

Your regular cleansing? That's the Comb-Out Cowash. That handles 95% of your hair washing needs.

But occasionally, you need more. Product buildup accumulates. Hard water minerals layer on. Environmental grime settles in. Even the gentlest cowash can't remove everything forever.

That's when you need this shampoo - the deep reset that strips away months of accumulation while still nourishing your scalp. Think of it as the spring cleaning for your hair ecosystem.

Traditional sulfate shampoos would destroy everything. This one removes what doesn't belong while feeding what does.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW IT WORKS

SULFATE-FREE SUPER CLEANSING
Gets hair genuinely clean without the harsh detergents that leave your scalp tight, dry, and angry. This is deep cleansing that doesn't damage the foundation.

NOURISHES WHILE IT CLEANSES
Most shampoos only take away. This one gives back. Every wash feeds your scalp with botanicals that support the hair growth ecosystem.

RESETS WITHOUT STRIPPING
Removes product buildup, oils, and environmental grime while preserving your scalp's natural protective barrier. Clean slate, healthy soil.

THE OCCASIONAL RESET
This isn't your daily cleanse - it's your monthly deep reset. While the Comb-Out Cowash handles regular cleansing, this shampoo is for when you need a true fresh start. Removes everything so your hair can breathe again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KEY INGREDIENTS (THE SOIL AMENDMENTS)

ALOE VERA
Soothes inflammation, balances pH, and hydrates the scalp. This is your anti-irritation insurance policy. Cleanses without the burn.

PLANT PROTEINS
Strengthen hair shaft while you wash. Most shampoos weaken strands - this one fortifies them. Every wash is a treatment.

GINGER ROOT EXTRACT
Stimulates blood flow to follicles. Brings nutrients to the root level. This is growth support built into your cleanse.

PEPPERMINT OIL
Awakens the scalp, increases circulation, soothes itching. That tingle you feel? That's your scalp getting fed oxygen-rich blood.

SULFATE-FREE CLEANSING SYSTEM
Gets hair clean through gentle plant-based surfactants, not harsh detergents. Clean doesn't have to mean damaged.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE

FIRST WASH:
Hair feels clean but not stripped. Scalp feels refreshed, not tight. The tingling from peppermint tells you circulation is happening. Your hair actually squeaks clean.

ONGOING USE:
Less scalp irritation. Reduced flaking and itching. Hair holds moisture better because the cuticle isn't damaged from harsh cleansing. New growth comes in healthier.

AFTER SWITCHING FROM SULFATES:
First 1-2 washes might feel different - your scalp is adjusting from being stripped to being nourished. By week 2, you'll notice your hair needs less product because it's actually absorbing what you apply.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW TO USE

STANDARD WASH DAY:
1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water
2. Apply shampoo to scalp (not lengths)
3. Massage into scalp for 2-3 minutes - let the ginger and peppermint work
4. Work through to ends if needed
5. Rinse completely with cool water (seals cuticle)
6. Follow with Comb-Out Cowash as conditioner OR proceed to Honey Rain Juice on damp hair

CLARIFYING WASH (Monthly):
1. Shampoo twice - first wash lifts buildup, second wash cleanses
2. Leave second lather on for 3-5 minutes
3. Rinse completely
4. Deep condition with Triple M Milk or Hairshake

PROTECTIVE STYLE PREP:
Use this before installing braids, twists, or weaves. You want genuinely clean hair, not just "looks clean" hair. This removes everything so your style starts fresh.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHY SULFATE-FREE MATTERS

Sulfates (SLS, SLES) are the cheap way to make bubbles. They strip everything - natural oils, color, treatments, your scalp's protective barrier. It's aggressive cleansing that creates more problems than it solves.

**The sulfate cycle:**
Strip → Overcompensate with heavy products → Buildup → Strip again → Repeat

**The sulfate-free approach:**
Cleanse → Nourish → Balance → Maintain healthy ecosystem

Your scalp isn't dirty because you need harsher cleansing. It's producing excess oil because sulfates keep stripping it. Break the cycle.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PERFECT FOR

✓ Wash day foundation for all hair types (3A-4C)
✓ Sensitive, irritated scalps
✓ Color-treated or chemically processed hair
✓ Low porosity hair (won't leave residue)
✓ Protective style prep and takedown
✓ Clarifying without damage
✓ Anyone transitioning from sulfate shampoos
✓ Children with tender scalps
✓ Scalp conditions (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE

No sulfates (SLS/SLES)
No parabens
No mineral oil
No silicones
No synthetic fragrances
No harsh detergents

Just plant-powered cleansing that respects your hair ecosystem.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE SCIENCE OF CLEAN VS. STRIPPED

Clean hair: Cuticle intact, scalp balanced, ready to absorb moisture and nutrients
Stripped hair: Cuticle damaged, scalp defensive (producing excess oil), can't hold moisture

This shampoo gives you clean. Most shampoos give you stripped.

The ginger and peppermint aren't just for fragrance - they're circulation boosters. Every wash is feeding your follicles with increased blood flow. That's growth support built into your cleansing routine.

The aloe and plant proteins mean you're not just removing - you're repairing as you cleanse. This is active hair care, not passive stripping.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WASH FREQUENCY GUIDE

THE HEAVENBERRY APPROACH: 1x per month clarifying
Regular cleansing: Use Comb-Out Cowash 1-2x per week
Shampoo reset: Once monthly or as needed for deep clarification

PROTECTIVE STYLES: Before installation and after takedown
PRODUCT BUILDUP: When hair feels coated or won't absorb moisture
VERY DRY HAIR: Every 6-8 weeks maximum
SCALP ISSUES: Use when experiencing unusual itching or flaking

Most people over-shampoo. Heavenberry uses this maybe once a month - cowash handles everything else.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PRO TIPS

**FOCUS ON SCALP, NOT LENGTHS**
Your scalp is where dirt accumulates. Lengths get clean from runoff. Concentrate the shampoo where it's actually needed.

**MASSAGE FOR CIRCULATION**
Those 2-3 minutes of scalp massage aren't optional - that's when the ginger and peppermint work their magic. This is growth stimulation disguised as cleansing.

**COOL WATER FINAL RINSE**
Seals the cuticle after warm water opens it. This step makes hair shinier and helps it hold moisture longer.

**PAIR WITH COWASH**
Use shampoo 1x per week, cowash mid-week. Your hair gets the reset it needs without over-cleansing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

**Will this work if I have heavy product buildup?**
Yes. The plant-based surfactants are powerful enough for deep cleansing. For severe buildup, do a double wash - first removes surface layer, second cleanses thoroughly.

**Why doesn't it lather like my old shampoo?**
Sulfates create big bubbles. Sulfate-free creates smaller, denser lather. Less foam doesn't mean less clean - it means gentler cleansing.

**Can I use this on children?**
Absolutely. This formula is gentle enough for sensitive baby scalps. We started this company for baby Heavenberry's eczema-prone skin.

**Will it strip my color?**
No. Sulfate-free formulas are color-safe. The aloe and plant proteins actually help maintain color integrity.

**How long until I see results?**
Scalp improvement: 1-2 weeks (less irritation, better balance)
Hair texture improvement: 3-4 weeks (better moisture retention)
Growth stimulation: 8-12 weeks (from consistent ginger/peppermint circulation boost)

Packaged and punching great nutrients

It’s a lovely product and so glad to use. I do not have much hair on my head top but it’s doing the job. I also use it on my beard and I love the quality of the bottle

Hair wash day was easier

Did not dry out my hair. Cleans well and detangling felt much easier than usual.

This is some magical shampoo. I have not come across a shampoo that can detangle my 4z(yes Z, my hair gets so knotted) hair without prepoo. You only need a small amount and the magic happens. I have tried a few brands and this is the one. I love it so much this time around I bought 2 incase it's not in stock.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing ! Been using this product along with the conditioner for about a year , the results are exceptional my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been because of these two products and the oils I make at home. Had to buy some shampoo and conditioner from the supermarket when I ran out and had to wait for pay day and honestly it was horrible , it’s so clear to see the difference between chemical shampoos and this one! Will probably be a lifetime customer! Thank you 😊
