What it is

This is the full home-care routine of the Carnival range in a single set: the shampoo to cleanse and the conditioner to soften, both made to maintain hair after a smoothing service or any chemical process. Rather than stripping the hair, the shampoo cleanses gently and the conditioner wraps the lengths in intense nutrition, so treated hair stays soft, detangled and shiny wash after wash. Their acidic pH values help keep the cuticle smooth and sealed, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to hold on to a sleek, frizz-controlled finish for as long as possible.

Key ingredients

Brazil nut oil - rich, nourishing oil that softens and adds shine to treated hair.
Macadamia oil - emollient nourishment that helps tame frizz and improve slip.
Collagen - supports softness and a healthier feel along the strand.
Silk and wheat amino acids - replenish and help condition the fibre.

What you can expect

Expect a gentle wash and nourishing conditioning that leave hair clean, soft, detangled and glossy without feeling stripped. Because the duo is designed as post-chemical care, it is a natural fit after a Carnival smoothing service: keeping washing gentle and infrequent is one of the best ways to prolong a smoothing result, and this pairing supports that. Over regular use, hair should feel more supple and look shinier, with frizz easier to manage day to day. It cares for the hair you have; it does not smooth or straighten on its own.

Who it is for

Anyone maintaining a Carnival smoothing or other chemical service who wants to prolong the result.
Chemically treated, coloured or highlighted hair that needs gentle cleansing and softening.
All hair types looking for softness, shine and everyday manageability.
Those who want the complete shampoo-and-conditioner routine in one set.

Professional recommendation

To get the most from a smoothing service, wash less often - around two to three times a week - and keep the water lukewarm rather than hot. Massage the shampoo gently through the lengths rather than scrubbing, rinse, then apply the conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends, away from the scalp, so hair stays soft without feeling weighed down. Comb the conditioner through, leave it to work, then rinse - a cool final rinse helps seal the cuticle for extra shine. Blot hair dry rather than rubbing and go easy on daily heat styling to help the smooth, glossy finish last.

How to use

Apply enough shampoo to wet hair, massaging gently. Leave 2 to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed.
Apply a sufficient amount of conditioner over the length of wet hair, mainly on the mid-lengths and ends.
Leave the conditioner on for 5 minutes.
Rinse well.

Safety: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes. Protect from light, excessive heat and humidity. Discontinue use if any sensitivity occurs. The full ingredient list is printed on each bottle.

Frequently asked questions

What does this set include?

It includes the Carnival home-care shampoo and conditioner, each 500 ml, as a matched pair. The shampoo cleanses gently and nourishes, and the conditioner softens, detangles and adds slip on the mid-lengths and ends. Together they make the complete home-care routine for maintaining chemically treated and smoothed hair between salon visits.

Does this duo help maintain and extend my Carnival smoothing result?

Yes. Both are gentle, post-chemical home-care products made to look after smoothed and treated hair. Their acidic pH values help keep the cuticle smooth and sealed, and they nourish rather than strip, which supports a longer-lasting result. Combined with washing gently and less often, the duo helps your smoothing stay soft and glossy for longer.

How do I use them, and how often?

Shampoo first, massaging gently and leaving for 2 to 5 minutes before rinsing, then apply the conditioner over the mid-lengths and ends, leave 5 minutes and rinse well. For treated or smoothed hair, washing around two to three times a week is ideal, since less frequent washing helps a smoothing result last longer. Use lukewarm rather than hot water.

Can I use it on coloured or bleached hair?

Yes. Both are gentle and nourishing, suiting coloured, highlighted and bleached hair as part of everyday care. Because the shampoo cleanses softly and the conditioner softens rather than stripping, the duo is a good match for hair that has been chemically processed. If your hair is very fragile, treat it gently and keep the conditioner mainly on the lengths and ends.

Who should avoid this set?

The set is not vegan, as both products contain collagen and silk and wheat amino acids, and the conditioner contains silicones. Anyone who prefers to avoid cocamide DEA (in the shampoo), silicones (in the conditioner), the preservative methylchloroisothiazolinone / methylisothiazolinone, or fragrance allergens such as linalool and alpha-isomethyl ionone may want to skip it. Check the full ingredient list on each bottle first, and stop use if any irritation occurs.

Is it suitable for all hair types?

Yes. The duo is designed for all hair types and is especially well suited to chemically treated, smoothed or coloured hair that needs extra nourishment. Fine hair may prefer the conditioner mainly on the mid-lengths and ends, while thicker or drier hair can enjoy a more generous amount through the lengths for extra softness.
