KeraFactor Scalp Stimulating Shampoo & Conditioner
KeraFactor combines cleansing ingredients with light conditioning to help wash away excess oil and product buildup. The formula includes glycerin and panthenol for their moisture supporting properties, along with niacinamide and the brand’s peptide complex. Menthol gives it a cooling feel during washing.
And yes, the bottle says shampoo & conditioner. I recommend using it as your shampoo and following with a separate conditioner. The conditioning built into a shampoo can help with hair feel, but your lengths and ends may need more, especially if your hair is long, dry, or chemically processed. Choose your conditioner for the hair you have and the amount of detangling it needs.
What it brings to your routine
- Growth focused scalp care. KeraFactor’s biomimetic growth factor complex, alongside adenosine and caffeine, brings ingredients selected with hair growth in mind into your shampoo step. The formula was developed to complement a broader routine for thinning hair.
- An antioxidant ingredient blend. Includes curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin, ingredients known for their antioxidant properties, alongside the formula’s peptides and niacinamide.
- Moisture supporting ingredients and conditioning. Glycerin and panthenol help bind moisture, while conditioning ingredients help improve hair feel and manageability. Your separate conditioner can then address the additional needs of your lengths and ends.
- A clean starting point for scalp treatments. Helps remove excess oil and product buildup before you apply products intended to remain on the scalp, making cleansing a purposeful part of your overall routine.
How I recommend using it
- Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp.
- Start with the small amount recommended on the bottle. Lather between your hands, then gently work it over your scalp with your fingertips.
- Leave on for one minute, then rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with a separate conditioner through your lengths and ends, adjusting placement to your hair type and the conditioner’s directions.
If you have a lot of hair or need an initial cleanse, KeraFactor recommends using your regular shampoo first, then using KeraFactor for the second wash. You don’t need to add a second wash when one is sufficient.
