The Ultimate Guide To CPR Shampoo

When it comes to your appearance, nothing can beat a good hair day. The key to keeping your gorgeous locks under control is to select the right shampoo and conditioner.

One brand many people reach for as part of their beauty regime is CPR Hair Care. In this blog, we will cover the benefits of this fantastic Aussie-owned brand and how it can help different hair types.

What Is CPR Hair Care?

The brand CPR stands for Cuticle Porosity Reconstructive Treatment. The brand boasts formulas that are scientifically proven to reduce hair damage, avoid fading colour, and improve scalp health. It is specially formulated to hydrate, protect and repair using vitamins, UV filters and natural plant proteins. While it is especially effective on coloured, heat-styled and chemically treated hair, CPR shampoos are suited to all hair types. They are formulated especially to be highly effective but gentle on hair.

CPR Hair is sulfate-free.

Some products in the CRP Hair range includes:

• CPR Colour Anti-fade - This protects and maintains coloured hair
• CPR Nourish - Designed for hair that is brittle and dry
• CPR Frizzy Solution - This is specially designed to tackle frizz and smooth hair strands
• CPR Volume - Creates volume for flat or limp hair.

A Guide To Using CPR Shampoo

To get the best out of your CPR shampoo, it is important to:

• Use the correct dose - Using more than necessary can lead to a build up of product. A 10c coin-sized dose is ample for short to medium length hair.
• Use the shampoo twice - Your first wash tackles oil and dirt. The second wash is where the active ingredients can imbue the hair with its positive effects
• Use CPR conditioner - Be sure to use the matching conditioner to nourish your hair
• Use CPR Deep Conditioning Masque once a week - This will hydrate and repair your hair.

Do’s And Dont’s For CPR Shampoo

Do’s

• Use lukewarm water
• Massage the shampoo gently into base of your hair with your fingertips
• Rinse the product out of your hair thoroughly
• Use the matching conditioner for your hair type

Don’ts

• Use extremely hot water. This will open your cuticles, which is not desirable.
• Skip using the paired conditioner
• Scrub the scalp too rigorously - this can cause irritation
• Store the shampoo in humid conditions such as the shower corner - this can cause the shampoo to become mouldy

Using CPR Effectively

In terms of the frequency you use CPR, balance is key. Too often and you’ll create a build up of the product that interferes with your hair’s natural oils. Too little and you won’t see the benefits.

How often you use the product depends on:

• Hair type - normal, dry, oily
• Hair condition - coloured, fine, damaged
• Lifestyle (heat styling frequency, swimming, outdoor exposure)

Here is some advice for different hair types:

Healthy or Normal hair

For hair that isn’t oily, dry or coloured, we recommend a frequency of 2-3 times weekly. You can choose any of CPR’s shampoos, cycling between them depending on the season.

Damaged or Dry Hair

For hair that breaks easily, has a straw-like feel or reduced moisture, using it 2-3 times weekly works best.

We recommend CPR’s Nourish or Repair.

Curly or Textured Hair

If you have curly or textured hair, once or twice a week will help maintain your looks. Over-washing may make your hair drier.

We recommend CPR Frizzy Solution.

Fine or Oily Hair

Fine hair that gets greasy but has dry ends needs washing 3-4 times weekly.

CPR’s Volume shampoo is ideal for this hair type.

Hair That Is Colour-Treated

Overwashing coloured hair can lead to a premature washing out of colour. This is why we only recommend hair washing 2-3 times a week.

CPR’s Colour Anti-Fade shampoo makes the hair shaft stronger while preserving pigment.
