Kristin Ess Extra Gentle Shampoo for Sensitive Scalp — 10 fl oz, Moisturizing & Color‑Safe

How does this shampoo soothe a sensitive scalp?

The formula minimizes irritation by avoiding common harsh detergents and using a gentle cleansing system with subtle fragrance. Soothing, lightweight moisturizers help reduce dryness and the sensation of tightness without leaving residue.

• Sulfate-free surfactants for mild cleansing
• Subtle fragrance to reduce potential irritation
• Hydrating agents that calm dryness and flaking

Will it protect color and keratin treatments?

Yes — the shampoo is formulated to be safe for both color-treated and keratin-treated hair by avoiding ingredients that strip pigments or interfere with professional treatments. Regular use helps maintain vibrancy and the integrity of salon services when combined with color-safe routines.

• No sulfates or harsh detergents that accelerate color fade
• Keratin-safe formulation preserves smoothing treatments
• Supports longer-lasting salon results when used as directed

What results can I expect for dry or damaged lengths?

Alongside cleansing, the shampoo delivers moisture and uses Kristin Ess’s Zip-Up Technology™ to target weak areas and help smooth the appearance of damaged cuticles. Hair should feel softer, look shinier, and appear less frayed over continued use.

• Zip-Up Technology™ helps “zip” split ends and reinforce fragile sections
• Moisturizing ingredients restore manageability and shine
• Lightweight finish avoids weighing fine or thin hair down

How do I incorporate this shampoo into my routine?

Use on wet hair, lather, and rinse thoroughly; follow with Kristin Ess conditioner or mask for best results. For medium to thick hair, apply a larger amount and allow any follow-up conditioner to sit for a few minutes to maximize conditioning benefits.

• Apply a dime- to quarter-sized amount depending on hair thickness
• Work from ends to roots, rinse, then condition as needed
• Safe for daily use when scalp sensitivity requires frequent cleansing
