Extreme Repair Shampoo 300ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the cleansing first step of the Brasil Cacau Extreme Repair line, made for damaged hair: a gentle cocoa and soy-protein wash that cleans the hair and leaves it soft and shiny, ready for the conditioner and mask that do the deeper repair work. It carries cocoa fruit extract, hydrolyzed soy protein and cationic conditioning agents, so damaged, porous lengths come out smoother and easier to manage rather than stripped. It is the shampoo of the three-step Extreme Repair routine, in a 300ml bottle.

Why the Extreme Repair Shampoo

Damaged hair needs a wash that cleans without leaving it rougher than it started. This is that first step in the Extreme Repair routine. The cleansing base lifts oil and product, while cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) fruit extract, hydrolyzed soy protein and cationic conditioning agents coat the fibre with softness and slip, so porous, brittle lengths read smoother and shinier out of the wash rather than stripped and squeaky. On its own it is a conditioning cleanse; the heavier repair work is done by the Extreme Repair Conditioner and the Extreme Repair Mask that follow it. Used as the opening step of the routine, it sets damaged hair up to take the conditioner and the weekly mask, and it is sold together with them in the Extreme Repair Kit.

Key Ingredients

The conditioning story sits on three fronts: cocoa fruit extract (Theobroma Cacao) and hydrolyzed soy protein support softness and a smoother surface on damaged hair, while cationic conditioning polymers (Polyquaternium types and guar) lay down slip so the lengths comb more easily and catch the light. The cleansing base is a standard surfactant system, so it is a conditioning wash rather than a sulfate-free one, and it carries no smoothing active: it cleans and conditions the surface, it does not straighten the hair. There is no keratin in the formula; the protein here is plant-derived soy.

What to Expect

The hair comes out clean, soft and shinier, with the lengths smoother to comb and less prone to catching than after a plain wash. Because the conditioning agents stay behind on the fibre, damaged, porous hair feels less rough and dry straight away, and the shine reads brighter. It is the lightest step of the repair routine, so the effect is a clean, conditioned base rather than a deep treatment on its own: the softness builds when it is followed by the conditioner every wash and the mask once a week. Over time, that steady routine is what keeps damaged hair looking healthier and easier to manage.

Who It Is For

• Dry, damaged, over-processed or brittle hair that needs a gentle, conditioning wash
• Anyone starting the three-step Extreme Repair routine and building it into their weekly care
• Coloured or chemically treated hair that wants softness and shine back after a wash

Who It Is Not For

• A client who wants a sulfate-free formula, which this shampoo is not
• Hair that is healthy and simply wants a light everyday cleanse rather than a repair-line wash
• Anyone expecting a single wash to rebuild badly damaged hair on its own

Professional tip: on very damaged hair, a first quick lather to lift the build-up and a second, slower wash left to sit for a moment lets the conditioning agents settle before you rinse. Follow every wash with the Extreme Repair Conditioner, and give the Extreme Repair Mask once a week for the deeper step.

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 Extreme Repair Conditioner, and use the Extreme Repair Mask once a week or as needed.

Where It Fits in Your Repair Routine

The Extreme Repair Shampoo is the first step of the Extreme Repair routine, the damaged-hair line within the Brasil Cacau home care range. Wash with it, follow with the Extreme Repair Conditioner at every wash, and add the Extreme Repair Mask once a week for the deeper treatment. The three are sold together as the Extreme Repair Kit. It suits damaged hair maintaining a smoothing done with any of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems as much as damaged hair on its own.
