Simple 3-minute ritual
Step 1 — Shampoo
Cleanse your scalp thoroughly with the SH-RD Sage Purifying Shampoo.
Step 2 — Apply
After shampooing, apply the Semi-Treatment evenly through the hair, concentrating on the lengths and ends.
Step 3 — Treat
Leave on for 3 minutes.
Step 4 — Rinse
Rinse thoroughly.
SH-RD's official instructions specify applying after shampooing, leaving the product on for 3 minutes, and rinsing.
For oily scalp
Don't overload the roots. Apply mainly to the lengths and ends unless your regimen specifically calls for scalp application.

Oily Scalp
Your roots become greasy quickly.
Flat / Limp Hair
Your hair loses volume because of excess oil.
Oily Roots + Frizzy Lengths
Your scalp gets greasy while the lengths still need conditioning.
Fine to Medium Hair
You want softness without a heavy finish.
Tangled Hair
Hair becomes difficult to comb after washing.
Frizzy Hair
You need lightweight smoothing rather than heavy moisture.
Colour-Treated Hair
You want a gentle conditioning treatment compatible with treated hair.
Chemically Treated Hair
For hair that needs softness and manageability without excessive weight.

SH-RD says the product is suitable for all hair types, especially oilier hair.

① Sage Extract — Purifying & Oil-Balance Focus
Sage is the hero botanical in this formula.
SH-RD positions its sage extract around purifying the scalp and controlling excess oil/sebum, making it particularly relevant for oily scalp users.
________________________________________
② Avocado-derived Lipids — Moisture Without Heavy Conditioning
The formula contains Butyl Avocadate, along with SH-RD's avocado-derived fatty-acid story.
The purpose is particularly interesting for oily hair because the product isn't trying to strip all oil away.

It's about:
Purify → Balance → Condition

rather than:
Strip → Dry → Rebound Greasiness
SH-RD describes the formula as delivering balanced moisture while helping control scalp oil.

③ Hydrolyzed Collagen — Conditioning & Hair Feel
Hydrolyzed collagen is incorporated into the conditioning system to help improve the feel and manageability of the hair.
SH-RD specifically positions it around hydration and strengthening/conditioning.
For consumer communication:
Helps hair feel softer, smoother and more manageable.

④ Cationic Conditioning Technology
The formula contains conditioning ingredients such as:
● Cetrimonium Chloride
● Cetrimonium Methosulfate
● Quaternium-91
● Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
These are important because they help reduce friction between hair fibers, improving:
Detangling → combability → smoothness → manageability
This is why the product can condition the lengths without needing an extremely rich oil/butter-heavy formula.

⑤ Panthenol + Hydroxyethyl Urea — Moisture Support
These ingredients contribute to the formula's moisture-management system.
This matters because oily scalp does not necessarily mean hydrated hair.
Someone can have:
Greasy roots + dry/frizzy lengths.
That's exactly the gap Sage can address.

⑥ Peppermint + Menthol — The “Fresh Scalp” Experience
Peppermint oil, spearmint extract and menthol create the characteristic cooling, refreshing sensation.

This gives the consumer an immediate sensory signal:
“My scalp feels fresh.”

SH-RD explicitly highlights the cooling sensation associated with the sage formulation.
