Damage Defence Super Shampoo™ - 50 ml - BYOB

Hair damage doesn’t usually come only from extreme heat styling or colouring. For most people, it builds up gradually through repeated exposure to harsh cleansing, friction, and environmental stressors. Frequent washing with aggressive surfactants can swell the hair fibre, strip protective lipids, and increase cuticle friction during cleansing and detangling. Over time, this repeated stress leads to dryness, rough texture, breakage, and dullness.

Arata Damage Defence Super Shampoo™ is designed for daily use to help prevent this ongoing damage at the cleansing stage itself. A gentle, sulphate-free surfactant system cleanses the scalp effectively without over-stripping natural lipids, helping retain up to 94% of hair keratin¹ during washing. Its lipid-retaining formula helps preserve the hair’s protective barrier, while targeted conditioning polymers deposit on weakened cuticle areas to reduce friction and breakage. The pH-balanced formula helps flatten the cuticle after cleansing, supporting smoother texture and natural shine.

Beyond fibre protection, the formula also supports scalp health. In in-vitro testing, it showed an 87% increase in healthy scalp bacteria² and helped achieve a more balanced scalp microbiome in just one wash³, reinforcing the idea that healthier hair starts with a well-cared-for scalp.

With consistent use, hair experiences less stress per wash, slower damage buildup, and a visibly smoother, healthier-looking fibre surface. This isn’t about biologically repairing hair. It’s about protecting it from unnecessary damage during everyday routines, making it gentle enough for regular, even daily use.
