The Shakebar hair care range: find your sulphate-free match

Shakebar is a sulphate-free hair care range available at Lime Light Hair & Beauty. It is built around five hair needs: dry and dull hair (Nourish & Gloss), colour-treated and bleached hair (Colour Protect), curly and frizzy hair (Curl & Shine), dry and damaged hair (Repair & Restore) and thin, flat hair (Volume & Boost). Every shampoo and conditioner in the care range is free from sulphates, mineral oil, gluten and parabens, and comes in 300 ml and 1000 ml sizes.

Beyond wash day, Shakebar adds hair masks, leave-in sprays, a keratin heat protector, a curl activator cream and four hair serums, so you can build a complete routine around your hair type. Here is how to pick yours.

Which Shakebar range is right for my hair?

Start with your main hair concern, then pick the matching shampoo and conditioner. The treatments in the last column take the results further.

What makes Shakebar different?

Shakebar keeps the formulas clean and the results salon-smooth. The whole care range is:

• Sulphate-free (sulfate-free): a gentler cleanse that is kinder to colour, curls and dry lengths
• Mineral oil-free: nourishment from oils like argan, coconut, castor, jojoba and rose instead
• Gluten-free
• Paraben-free

Each line is blended with ingredients chosen for one job, so you are treating your actual hair concern, not guessing.
