Piur London S.P.R. Shampoo Home Care (250 ml) opens every wash of the S.P.R. home routine, for anyone maintaining a Sensorial Repair or S.P.R. salon service between visits. It cleans the scalp and lengths without stripping the fibre before the conditioner goes on, with acerola extract, plant proteins and marine algae. It is massaged in for 2 to 3 minutes and rinsed, at every wash.

Why the home routine starts with its own shampoo

This is the home half of the S.P.R. reconstruction service: the salon rebuilds the fibre in one appointment, and the home range keeps feeding it between visits so the result does not wash back out. Piur London names the technology AcerolaForce, after the acerola fruit extract every product in the range carries. The shampoo opens every wash and prepares the fibre for the conditioner. It contains sodium laureth sulfate.

Key ingredients

• Malpighia glabra (acerola) fruit extract: the acerola behind the AcerolaForce name.
• Hydrolyzed soy protein: a plant protein.
• Hydrolyzed rice bran, corn and wheat protein: further plant proteins; the wheat protein matters for clients avoiding gluten.
• Kappaphycus alvarezii and Laminaria saccharina extracts: marine algae.
• Crambe abyssinica seed oil: Abyssinian oil.

What to expect

Clean hair and scalp that do not feel stripped.

Who it is for

• Anyone maintaining a Sensorial Repair or S.P.R. salon service at home
• Everyday washing

Who it is not for

• A general clarifying shampoo outside the routine
• Clients avoiding wheat protein: it is among the listed actives
• Clients who avoid sodium laureth sulfate: it is in the formula

Professional tip

Lukewarm water, not hot, and squeeze the lengths with the towel rather than rubbing them.

How to use

Two ways to read it: Piur London's directions, and the advice we would give a client for using it at home.

Method A: manufacturer method

1. Wet the hair and apply to the scalp.
2. Massage for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly.

Method B: our advice for home use

1. Wet the hair right through first, then apply to the scalp. Our advice to pass on to the client.
2. Massage the scalp for the time in Method A; the lather that runs through the lengths is enough for them.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then the conditioner, or on the weekly day the mask or the Power Dose.
4. Long or product-heavy hair: two small washes rather than one big one.

Where it fits in the Piur London range

Every wash: S.P.R. Shampoo Home Care, then S.P.R. Conditioner Home Care on lengths and ends. Once a week, the deep step: either S.P.R. Mask Home Care, a ten-to-fifteen-minute treatment, or Ampola PowerDose S.P.R., a three-minute single dose for a week with no time for the mask, never both on the same wash. On mask day, the mask goes on after the shampoo and the conditioner still closes the wash. In the salon, the S.P.R. Full Protocol is the service this routine maintains. The home routines sit in Piur London Home Care.
