Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Joico Defy Damage Detox Shampoo is a deep-cleansing clarifying shampoo for all hair types. Part of the Joico Defy Damage range. Activated charcoal, arginine, moringa seed oil and hydrolysed pea protein remove product build-up and hard water minerals while simultaneously strengthening bonds and prepping hair for maximum absorption of conditioning and repair treatments.

Best for: all hair types with product, hard water or mineral build-up; periodic reset before intensive Defy Damage treatments; use 2–3 times per month rather than daily.
Less suited to: daily washing (use Defy Damage Protective Shampoo); hair with no build-up needing a gentle cleanse; dry or chemically processed hair that should not be stripped.

Key actives:
- Activated Charcoal (Charcoal Powder) — draws out impurities, product residue and hard water minerals from the scalp
- Arginine — smart-bonding amino acid; strengthens bonds during the cleansing process
- Moringa Seed Oil — antioxidants, Vitamins A and E; nourishes and protects
- Hydrolysed Pea Protein — amino acid-rich; reinforces and replenishes hair
- Phosphatidylcholine (Protective Lipid) — protects against further damage
- SmartRelease Technology (Rosehip Oil, Arginine & Keratin) — releases repair ingredients even during detox

Benefits:
- Removes build-up without roughing up the cuticle
- Maximises absorption of follow-up treatments
- Bond protection during the deep cleanse
- Colour-safe; suitable for all hair types

How to use: Apply to wet hair. Lather. Leave in 1–2 minutes for enhanced clarifying action. Rinse. Use 2–3 times per month. Follow with Defy Damage Protective Conditioner or Masque.
