Quick Answer

Use the Repair 'n Strengthen Shampoo first to gently cleanse and rebuild strength, then follow with the Conditioner to lock in moisture and elasticity for silkier, healthier-looking hair.

Why This Set Works Differently

Unlike the original horse-derived formulas, the Repair 'n Strengthen line is designed specifically for personal hair care. It is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and vegan, making it a gentler choice for those with damaged or fragile hair. The shampoo rebuilds strength and elasticity while promoting a healthy scalp, and the conditioner continues that repair without weighing hair down.

Who Should Use This Set

This set is ideal if your hair feels brittle, lacks elasticity, or you are trying to grow longer, healthier hair. The sulfate-free formula means it cleanses without stripping natural oils, so it suits dry or color-treated hair as well. If your hair is very oily or you prefer a deep-cleansing lather, this may feel too mild.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Wet Hair Thoroughly: Start with fully saturated hair. Warm water helps open the cuticle so the shampoo can penetrate. Avoid scalding hot water as it can strip moisture. Make sure your hair is completely wet before applying shampoo.
  2. Apply Shampoo to Scalp First: Dispense a quarter-sized amount of Repair 'n Strengthen Shampoo into your palm. Massage it into your scalp using your fingertips, not nails. Work the lather through your ends gently. A common mistake is piling all the shampoo on the ends, which can cause tangling. Focus the shampoo on your scalp where oil and buildup collect, not the ends.
  3. Rinse Completely: Rinse with lukewarm water until no suds remain. Leftover residue can make hair look dull or feel sticky. If your hair feels squeaky clean, you have rinsed enough. Incomplete rinsing can lead to buildup and reduce conditioner effectiveness.
  4. Apply Conditioner Mid-Length to Ends: Squeeze out excess water, then apply a nickel-sized amount of Repair 'n Strengthen Conditioner from mid-shaft to ends. Avoid the scalp to prevent greasiness. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly if needed. Conditioner on the scalp can clog pores and weigh down roots.
  5. Let It Sit for 1-2 Minutes: Leave the conditioner on for one to two minutes to allow the hydrating blend to penetrate. For deeper repair, you can leave it up to five minutes. Do not let it dry on your hair. Leaving conditioner too long can cause buildup; rinsing too soon reduces benefits.
  6. Rinse with Cool Water: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle and lock in moisture. This step adds shine and reduces frizz. Make sure no conditioner remains, especially near the scalp. A cool water rinse helps close the cuticle for smoother, shinier hair.
