Anti-Frizz Shampoo 300ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the daily maintenance shampoo of the Brasil Cacau range, made to keep a Brazilian smoothing looking its best between services: a gentle keratin, cocoa and D-Panthenol wash that cleans without stripping, so the smooth, frizz-controlled result lasts longer. It is the professional back-bar and take-home shampoo for smoothed hair, in a 300ml bottle. For professional use.

Why the Anti-Frizz Shampoo

A Brazilian smoothing lasts longest when the daily wash works with it rather than against it. A harsh or clarifying shampoo lifts the smoothing along with the dirt, so the frizz creeps back sooner. This is the gentle maintenance shampoo built for that job: it cleans everyday oil and product without stripping, and carries keratin, cocoa and D-Panthenol to leave the fibre soft and the surface smooth. It is the daily-use member of the Brasil Cacau range, paired with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner as the two-step home routine that holds a smoothing between salon visits. For clients who prefer a sulfate-free formula, the Sulfate-Free Anti-Frizz Shampoo is the alternative; this is the classic version, and it is not the deep clarifier used before a treatment: that is the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo.

Key Ingredients

The cleansing base is a mild surfactant system that lifts everyday build-up gently, so a daily wash does not undo the smoothing. Working with it, hydrolyzed keratin conditions the fibre, cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) fruit extract and D-Panthenol add softness and shine, and the formula stays close to the technology of the smoothing itself: keratin, cocoa and D-Panthenol. It carries a sulfate cleanser (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), so it is not a sulfate-free wash, and it is not vegan because of the hydrolyzed keratin. There is no smoothing active here: the shampoo maintains the result, it does not straighten the hair.

What to Expect

The hair comes out clean, soft and shiny, with the frizz still under control and the smooth surface intact rather than roughened by the wash. Because the base is gentle, it suits frequent, even daily use, so a client can keep to a normal washing routine without shortening the life of the treatment. Over the weeks between services, that steady, non-stripping cleanse is what keeps the smoothing looking fresh and the ends soft, especially when it is followed by the Anti-Frizz Conditioner and a finishing serum. Day to day it also makes the hair easier to handle: it dries faster, styles smoother and holds a blow-dry, so the salon result feels the same at home for longer.

Who It Is For

• Clients maintaining a Brazilian smoothing who want a gentle daily shampoo that respects the result
• Salons that want a back-bar and take-home maintenance wash to sell alongside the service
• Anyone whose smoothed hair turns frizzy quickly when washed with a harsher shampoo

Who It Is Not For

• A client who wants a sulfate-free formula, which is the Sulfate-Free Anti-Frizz Shampoo instead
• The deep clarifying wash before a smoothing treatment, which is the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo
• Hair a barber keeps clipper-short, where a wash-and-go bar is plenty

Professional tip: use lukewarm rather than hot water and a small amount worked into the scalp, then let the lather run down the lengths rather than scrubbing them; hot water and rough handling are what lift a smoothing fastest. Follow with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends to seal the wash.

How to Use

Run a sensitivity test before first use. Apply to damp hair, massage into a lather and rinse. Repeat if needed. Follow with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, and finish as usual.

Where It Fits in Your Maintenance Routine

The Anti-Frizz Shampoo is the daily wash of the Brasil Cacau home care routine, the aftercare that holds a smoothing done with any of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems. Pair it with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner at every wash, and add the Gradual Smooth Serum to reactivate the smooth finish between services. Before a new treatment, the clarifying step is the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo, not this one.
