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

Abi's tip!
"Only clarify when your hair is feeling greasy, heavy or full of product. Do not apply more than once a week, as your hair will become too dry."
WHY ABI MADE THIS

“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.”
