Brazilicious Honey Biotox Step 1 is the clarifying shampoo that opens the Honey Biotox salon service: a professional wash that removes product residue, hard-water minerals, and styling buildup so the Step 2 smoothing-active mask can bind to the hair fiber under heat. Built around a botanical signature of honey, jasmine flower oil, olive oil, babaçu oil, and murumuru butter, this Jasmine Flower Edition prepares the hair with a conditioning-rich, nourishment-led approach -- the foundation of the Honey Biotox system's hair-quality and shine focus.

What it is
Step 1 is the opening wash of the Brazilicious Honey Biotox salon service. Its job is preparation: a professional clarifying shampoo that lifts away styling residue, oils, mineral deposits, and environmental buildup from the hair fiber. Once that layer is gone and the cuticle is open, the hair is ready to receive the Step 2 smoothing-active mask, which binds to the fiber under the heat of the flat iron and sets the visible smoothing result.
Key ingredients
- Honey Extract: the line-name botanical, a nourishing humectant that brings the conditioning-rich character to the Honey Biotox signature.
- Jasmine Flower Oil (Jasminum Officinale): the Jasmine Flower Edition's signature aromatic; supports the soft, polished feel of the wash.
- Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil): a classic conditioning lipid that softens the wash so the clarifying step does not strip the hair.
- Babaçu Oil: a Brazilian palm oil that brings emollience to the formula, balancing the cleansing surfactants.
- Murumuru Butter (Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter): a Brazilian seed butter that adds nourishment to the wash phase, contributing to the conditioning-rich Honey Biotox character.
The full INCI is printed on the back of the bottle. The botanical lipids and butter make this Step 1 a conditioning-led clarifying shampoo rather than a stripping deep-cleanse: the hair is prepared for the Step 2 mask, not depleted by the wash.
What you can expect
From the wash, expect cleaner, lighter, more receptive hair with a soft jasmine-and-honey scent. Hair that felt weighed down by styling product or environmental film loses that coating and feels balanced again. From the service that follows, expect the Step 2 mask to bind evenly across the fiber under the heat of the 180°C flat iron, delivering the smoother, glossier finish the Honey Biotox system is built to produce. The wash is purposeful but not harsh -- the hair is primed without feeling stripped.
Who it is for
- Salon professionals who deliver the Brazilicious Honey Biotox service and want the proper Step 1 preparation in their back-bar inventory.
- Clients with dry, dull, or damaged hair seeking a smoothing service that emphasizes nourishment and shine alongside frizz reduction. The Honey Biotox line is built around conditioning-rich botanicals for exactly this profile.
- Clients with color-treated or chemically processed hair who want a smoothing system that prioritizes hair quality and condition. The stylist confirms protocol timing for individual cases.
- Clients across all hair types, since the label states the formula is suitable for all hair types. The stylist matches the protocol to each individual head of hair.
Who it is not for
- Anyone using the product outside a professional salon protocol. The label is explicit: exclusively for professional use.
- Clients with a recently irritated or injured scalp. As with any salon clarifying wash, application should be deferred when the scalp is inflamed.
- Clients with very recent coloring or bleaching until the stylist has assessed the hair and the timing of the protocol.
- Anyone sensitive to perfumed cosmetic products. The formula is fragranced (parfum is listed in the INCI).
Professional recommendation
- Always pair Step 1 with the Brazilicious Honey Biotox Step 2 Smoothing 1000ml as the smoothing-active partner; the two were designed as a single sequence.
- Order the Brazilicious Honey Biotox Kit 2x1000ml when stocking the system from scratch -- it bundles Step 1 and Step 2 at matched 1L volumes.
- Send clients home with the Brazilicious Honey Biotox Home Care Kit to maintain the salon result between visits, with matching shampoo, conditioner, and mask all built around the same botanical signature.
- Always do a strand test on a small lock of hair before the full service.
How to use
- Wet the hair thoroughly.
- Apply the shampoo to damp hair.
- Massage the hair and scalp to spread the wash evenly.
- Leave on for 10 minutes to let the formula lift residue and open the cuticle.
- Rinse thoroughly until all product is removed from the hair.
- Repeat the wash if necessary, particularly on hair with heavy buildup.
- Towel-dry and proceed to the Step 2 application according to the Step 2 product label.
Compatibility
Step 1 is designed as the opening wash of the Brazilicious Honey Biotox salon system: Step 1 clarifying shampoo first, then the Step 2 smoothing-active mask, sealed in by a 180°C flat iron. The two components were built as a sequence and are not intended to be substituted with components from other Brazilicious lines. For home-care between visits, the Honey Biotox Home Care Kit carries the same botanical signature.

Frequently asked questions
What does this Step 1 shampoo actually do?
Step 1 is the opening wash of the Honey Biotox salon system. Its job is preparation: a professional clarifying shampoo that lifts away styling product residue, oils, hard-water minerals, and environmental buildup, then opens the hair cuticle so the Step 2 smoothing-active mask can bind evenly under the heat of the flat iron. Without this clarifying step, Step 2 would have to compete with a barrier of buildup, and the smoothing result would be uneven from strand to strand.
Why use a separate clarifying shampoo before keratin smoothing?
Smoothing actives need to bind directly to the hair fiber to deliver an even, lasting result. Daily styling products, conditioners, hard-water mineral deposits, and environmental film all leave behind a residue layer that competes with that binding. A dedicated clarifying shampoo strips that layer back and balances the cuticle, so the Step 2 mask reaches the hair evenly. This is industry-standard salon practice, and skipping it produces patchy, inconsistent results.
How is Honey Biotox different from Brazilicious Tanino Therapy?
The Honey Biotox line is built around honey, jasmine, olive oil, babaçu, and murumuru -- a conditioning-rich botanical signature focused on hair quality, nourishment, and shine. The Tanino Therapy line uses tannic acid and grape seed oil, with a more frizz-control oriented angle. Both lines deliver a salon smoothing service; the difference is what each line emphasizes in the experience and the finish.
Can I use this at home without a professional?
The label states that this product is exclusively for professional use. Step 1 is designed to prepare the hair for a salon service, not to be a daily home-care shampoo. For at-home use, the Honey Biotox line offers a retail Shampoo 300ml, a Conditioner 250ml, a Mask 300ml, and a complete Home Care Kit, all built around the same conditioning-rich botanical signature for consistency from salon to home.
What aftercare maintains the smoothing result?
The Honey Biotox Home Care Kit is built for exactly this stage. It pairs the Shampoo 300ml, Conditioner 250ml, and Mask 300ml -- all carrying the same conditioning-rich botanical signature as the salon service -- for daily and weekly upkeep between visits. Limit hot tools where possible and use cooler water on the rinse to help the smoothness last longer.
