Sulfate-Free Anti-Frizz Shampoo 300ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the gentlest daily maintenance shampoo of the Brasil Cacau range: a sulfate-free, silicone-free wash that cleans a smoothing without the harsh surfactants that lift it. In place of a sulfate it uses a mild carboxylate cleanser, so it is the wash to reach for on colour-treated hair and sensitive scalps that still want keratin, cocoa and D-Panthenol care between services. It is the professional back-bar and take-home shampoo for smoothed hair, in a 300ml bottle. For professional use.

Why the Sulfate-Free Anti-Frizz Shampoo

Sulfate cleansers lather hard and lift fast, and on a Brazilian smoothing that speed works against the result: the frizz creeps back sooner on hair that is washed with a harsh base. This is the answer for anyone who wants to avoid that. In place of a sulfate it cleans with a mild carboxylate surfactant, so the wash is gentle enough for colour-treated lengths and sensitive scalps while it still carries keratin, cocoa and D-Panthenol to keep the fibre soft and the surface smooth. It is also silicone-free, so nothing is left coating the hair. It is the gentlest daily wash in the Brasil Cacau range, paired with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner as the two-step home routine that holds a smoothing between salon visits. For those who prefer the classic sulfate wash, the Anti-Frizz Shampoo is the alternative; and the deep clarifier used before a treatment is a different product again, the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo.

Key Ingredients

The cleansing base is built on Potassium Laureth-4 Carboxylate, a mild carboxylate surfactant that lifts oil and product without a sulfate, so a daily wash does not strip 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. There is no sulfate and no silicone in the formula, which is what the front badge marks; conditioning comes from Polyquaternium and guar rather than a silicone film. It is not vegan because of the hydrolyzed keratin, and it carries no smoothing active: the shampoo maintains the result, it does not straighten the hair.

What to Expect

The hair comes out clean, soft and shiny, the frizz still under control and the smooth surface intact rather than roughened by the wash. Because the base is a mild carboxylate rather than a sulfate, the lather is softer than a classic shampoo, and it suits frequent, even daily use without shortening the life of the treatment. Over the weeks between services, that gentle, sulfate-free cleanse is what keeps the smoothing looking fresh and the ends soft, especially followed by the Anti-Frizz Conditioner and a finishing serum. It is a good fit where a scalp reacts to stronger washes or where colour needs a softer routine, and day to day the hair stays easy to handle.

Who It Is For

• Clients maintaining a Brazilian smoothing who want a sulfate-free daily shampoo that respects the result
• Colour-treated hair and sensitive scalps that react to harsher, sulfate-based washes
• Salons that want a gentle back-bar and take-home wash to sell alongside the service

Who It Is Not For

• A client who prefers the classic sulfate lather, which is the Anti-Frizz Shampoo instead
• The deep clarifying wash before a smoothing treatment, which is the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo
• Hair that only ever meets a wash-and-go bar between quick trims

Professional tip: a sulfate-free base lathers softer, so apply to well-dampened hair and give it a moment to build rather than adding more product; use lukewarm rather than hot water, and let the lather run down the lengths instead of scrubbing. 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 Sulfate-Free Anti-Frizz Shampoo is the gentle 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. For the classic sulfate wash the Anti-Frizz Shampoo is the alternative; before a new treatment, the clarifying step is the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo, not this one.

In Short

• A good fit for colour-treated hair and sensitive scalps; pair with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner as the two-step home routine
