BENEFITS
BENEFITS
- Normal shampoos aren’t strong enough to fully break down product residue, excess oil and impurities. This clarifying formula resets hair and scalp when waves feel heavy or greasy.
- Unclogs hair follicles, allowing the scalp to breathe, which promotes healthier, more robust waves
- Lifts away weight and residue so your natural wave pattern looks more defined and lasts longer between washes.
- Formulated with powerhouse ingredients like cocamidopropyl betaine (a gentle cleanser derived from coconut oil creating a rich lather while gently cleansing without over-stripping), salicylic acid (an exfoliant that effectively removes scalp buildup, excess oil, and dead skin cells) and lauryl glucoside (a mild plant-derived surfactant that gently cleanses without stripping hair)
- Comes with a super fresh grapefruit scent
- Forever lightweight - all of Merwave’s products are specially formulated to ensure your waves won’t be weighed down
- Silicone, sulphate and paraban free.
- Safe for coloured or bleached hair

How to use the Clarifying Shampoo
“This is my go-to when my hair feels heavy, full of buildup, or when I need a proper deep clean to let my waves breathe again. I love using it as a full reset and always follow with a deep conditioning treatment so my waves drink up all that moisture and come back fresh, light and revived.”

I have been using the range of products for a few months and am very happy with the condition of my waves! Frizz free
The products are well packaged and seem to be made up with lovely ingredients but they simply didn’t suit my hair. I have grey(white) frizzy probably 2a hair and the products enhanced the frizz and didn’t give me any clumping which is vital to reduce the frizz in my experience. I did wonder if my hair is changing as I age plus I have a recent diagnosis of low thyroid so it may well be me and not the products.
Such nice products and really helpful tips emailed to you to ensure you’re getting the most out of them. Lovely brand!
Tried the cleanse shampoo and after 3 washes I noticed dry itchy patches at the back of my scalp. The conditioner is fine but won’t be repurchasing the shampoo
