Experiencing hair thinning or increased hair fall can be disheartening, especially when heat and humidity seem to make it worse. This shampoo is for those with oily, itchy, or flaky scalps who are concerned about hair loss and want to build a healthier foundation for hair growth.

• Product Type: Rinse-off Shampoo
• Key Function: Alleviates hair loss symptoms (MFDS Functional Cosmetic)
• Best For: Oily, flaky, or sensitive scalps concerned with hair thinning.
• Feel & Scent: Light gel texture, lathers well, provides a cooling menthol sensation, has a fresh herbal scent.

Integrate this into your regular wash routine for a healthier scalp.

1. Wet Hair & Scalp: Thoroughly saturate your hair and scalp with lukewarm water.
2. Lather [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply an appropriate amount, focusing on massaging it into the scalp for 1-2 minutes.
3. Rinse & Condition: Rinse thoroughly and follow with your favorite conditioner or hair treatment, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.

Note: If you already own a scalp-focused shampoo, use it up first before starting this one to practice mindful consumption.

For best results, focus the application on your scalp, where hair growth begins.

• Amount: Use a coin-sized amount (approx. 5-10ml depending on hair length and thickness).
• Method:
  1. Apply directly to a wet scalp and lather up, using fingertips to gently massage the scalp in circular motions for at least 1 minute. This helps stimulate blood flow and allows the active ingredients to work.
  2. Let the lather sit for another 1-2 minutes before rinsing.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
• Frequency: Suitable for daily use, or as often as you normally wash your hair. Consistency is key to seeing results for hair loss concerns.

Pro-Tip: For a very oily scalp, you can shampoo twice. The first wash removes surface oil and product buildup, and the second wash provides a deeper cleanse for the scalp and follicles.

This is a foundational shampoo that can be used regularly. It does not conflict with most hair treatments.

• Daily or Every Other Day: Use as your primary shampoo during your wash routine.
• If Using a Clarifying Shampoo: If you use a very strong clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo once a week, you can use this CP-1 shampoo on all other wash days to maintain scalp health without over-stripping.
• With Hair Masks/Treatments: After using this shampoo, follow up with a deep conditioner or protein treatment 1-2 times per week. This shampoo cleanses the scalp effectively, creating a clean base for treatments to penetrate the hair shaft better.

Managing hair loss concerns is a long-term process. Patience and consistency are crucial.

• Immediate: Your scalp will feel clean, refreshed, and cool upon the first use. Oiliness and itchiness may be noticeably reduced.
• 2–4 Weeks: With regular use, you may notice a reduction in scalp flakiness and persistent oiliness. Your scalp should feel more balanced and less prone to irritation.
• 4–8+ Weeks: This is the typical timeframe to begin noticing a potential reduction in hair fall. Hair shedding is a natural cycle, but a healthier scalp environment can help reduce excessive shedding. You may see less hair in your brush or in the shower drain. New hair growth cycles take several months, so continued use is necessary to support a healthy scalp for future growth.

Myth: "Washing my hair every day causes more hair loss."

Reality (Why This Shampoo is a Better Approach): Daily shedding is normal, and the hair you see in the shower was likely already detached from the follicle. Not washing an oily scalp can lead to buildup of sebum, dead skin, and sweat, which can clog follicles and create an inflammatory environment that may worsen hair loss. Using a gentle, functional shampoo like this one daily helps keep the scalp clean and balanced, creating a healthier environment for hair to grow without causing additional hair fall.

• Oily Scalp: Excellent. The Salicylic Acid and cooling menthol help to control excess sebum and provide a deep-clean feeling without being harsh.
• Dry Scalp: May be suitable, but monitor for dryness. While it contains hydrating Panthenol, the salicylic acid and menthol might be too clarifying for some very dry scalps if used daily. Consider alternating with a more moisturizing shampoo.
• Sensitive/Itchy Scalp: Good. Contains numerous soothing botanical extracts like Centella Asiatica and Licorice Root, alongside anti-inflammatory actives to calm irritation. A patch test on a small area of the scalp is still recommended.
• Dandruff-Prone Scalp: Helpful. Contains Salicylic Acid and Piroctone Olamine, which help control flaking and the yeast that can contribute to dandruff.
• Fine/Thinning Hair: Ideal. It cleanses without weighing hair down, helping to create volume at the roots.
• Color-Treated Hair: Use with awareness. It is sulfate-free, which is generally safer for color. However, any clarifying or scalp-focused shampoo can potentially reduce the longevity of hair color slightly compared to a dedicated color-safe formula.
• Curly Girl Method (CGM) Info: Contains Polyquaternium-10, a film-forming ingredient that some strict CGM followers avoid due to potential for buildup. It is free of harsh sulfates and silicones.

• Menthol: Provides a cooling, refreshing sensation that helps to soothe scalp itchiness and irritation while stimulating microcirculation. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps to regulate sebum production, supports the scalp's barrier function, and has anti-inflammatory properties. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Piroctone Olamine: An anti-fungal agent effective against Malassezia globosa, the yeast often associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Fragrance: Contains added 'Fragrance' (Parfum). The scent is generally described as a fresh, clean, and slightly herbal/medicinal due to the botanical extracts and menthol.
• EU Allergens: The specific components of the fragrance are not disclosed by the brand, so the presence of EU-listed allergens cannot be ruled out.
• Silicones & Sulfates: Formulated without harsh sulfates (like SLS/SLES) and without silicones.

As with any new product, a patch test is recommended, especially for those with known fragrance sensitivities. Apply a small amount to the scalp behind the ear and wait 24-48 hours.

• Texture: A clear, moderately viscous gel-like liquid.
• Lather: Creates a rich, dense foam that is easy to distribute through the hair and across the scalp.
• Sensation on Scalp: Provides an immediate and noticeable cooling sensation from the menthol, which can feel very soothing on an itchy or overheated scalp.

This shampoo is particularly well-suited for the challenges of a tropical climate like Mauritius.

• Humidity & Oily Scalp: High humidity can increase sebum production, leading to a greasy, weighed-down feeling. The Salicylic Acid and effective cleansers in this formula thoroughly remove excess oil and sweat, keeping the scalp feeling fresh and clean for longer.
• Heat & Irritation: The cooling effect of menthol provides welcome relief from the heat, helping to calm an itchy, sweaty, or irritated scalp.
• Buildup: In a humid environment where sweat, sebum, and environmental pollutants can accumulate, this shampoo provides a deep cleanse to prevent follicle blockage, which is essential for healthy hair growth.

A 250ml bottle provides good value for a functional, targeted treatment shampoo.

• Estimated Uses: A 250ml bottle contains approximately 25-50 uses, depending on hair length and wash frequency. (Calculation: 250ml size ÷ 5-10ml dose per use).
• Reorder Cadence (1x Person):
  • Washing daily: Lasts approximately 1 month.
  • Washing every other day: Lasts approximately 2 months.

1. Can this shampoo actually regrow hair?

This is a functional cosmetic, not a medication. It is designed to alleviate hair loss *symptoms* by creating a healthy scalp environment. It deeply cleanses follicles, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation, which can help reduce excessive shedding and support healthy growth conditions for new hair. It does not regrow hair in cases of genetic or medical alopecia.

2. Is the cooling sensation too strong?

Most users find the menthol sensation to be pleasantly refreshing and not overwhelmingly strong. However, sensitivity varies. If you have a very sensitive scalp, it's best to do a patch test first.

3. Will this dry out my hair?

It is formulated for the scalp but is generally not considered stripping for the hair, as it's sulfate-free and contains moisturizing ingredients like Panthenol. However, if you have very dry or damaged hair, it's important to always follow up with a good conditioner or treatment on your mid-lengths and ends.

4. Can I use this if I don't have hair loss?

Yes. If you have an oily, flaky, or itchy scalp, this shampoo can be very effective for maintaining scalp health, even if hair loss is not your primary concern.
