Reconstruct vs Moisture Shampoo comes down to one question: is your hair breaking, or is it dry? Reconstruct Shampoo strengthens weak or breaking hair with biotin and collagen, while Moisture Shampoo hydrates dry or dull hair with argan and meadowfoam oil. Revitalizing Shampoo, meanwhile, calms an itchy or flaky scalp with zinc pyrithione and tea tree oil.
| Shampoo | Key Actives | Best For | Pairs With |
| Reconstruct Anti-Breakage Shampoo | Biotin, hydrolyzed collagen | Weak, breaking, or chemically treated hair (coloured or relaxed) | Reconstruct Conditioner or Reconstruct Hair Mask |
| Moisture-Nourishing Shampoo | Argan oil, meadowfoam seed oil | Dry, dull, or hard-to-detangle hair, without breakage | Moisture Replenishing Conditioner or Moisture Restorative Mask |
| Ruff Control Revitalizing Shampoo | Zinc pyrithione, tea tree oil | Dry, itchy, flaky, or dandruff-prone scalp | Ruff Control Conditioner or Moisture Restorative Mask, or Reconstruct Anti-Breakage Mask |
The Reconstruct Anti-Breakage Shampoo is built around biotin and hydrolyzed collagen, ingredients chosen to strengthen the hair shaft itself. It’s the right choice when strands feel fragile, snap easily, or have been through heat, color, or protective styling stress. It’s also suited to chemically treated hair, including colored or relaxed hair, which tends to need extra strengthening support.
This shampoo is built around argan oil and meadowfoam seed oil, both chosen for hydration rather than repair. It’s the right choice when hair feels dry, dull, or difficult to detangle, but isn’t necessarily breaking.
‘Ruff Control Revitalizing Shampoo
Formulated with zinc pyrithione and tea tree oil, this shampoo targets a dry, itchy, flaky, or dandruff-prone scalp while cleansing. It’s the right choice when the scalp, not just the hair, is the main concern.
So, Which Shampoo Is Right for You?
If your main concern is breakage, weak strands, or chemically treated hair, start with Reconstruct. If your main concern is dryness or dullness in the hair itself, start with Moisture. If your main concern is scalp itching, flaking, or dandruff, start with Revitalizing. Some routines use more than one, for example Revitalizing to manage the scalp, cocktailed or followed by Moisture or Reconstruct for the strands, depending on what the hair itself needs.
