Magic Sleek Express Prepare Shampoo is a professional-grade clarifying shampoo designed as Step 1 in the 100% formaldehyde-free Express smoothing system 🧴

Its high-detergency surfactant blend delivers a deep clarifying cleanse that strips away sebum, styling residues, and environmental pollutants — creating the blank canvas your smoothing treatments need to bond evenly. What sets it apart is the built-in chelation action that tackles hard-water mineral deposits, a common culprit behind inconsistent treatment results that many prep shampoos overlook.

The formula produces a rich, stable lather for even saturation across all hair types — including bleached, color-treated, relaxed, and henna-dyed hair. Because it opens the cuticle while removing every barrier to absorption, the bonding solution in Step 2 can perform at its full potential 💪

• Clarifying Cleanse: Removes excess oils, product buildup, and pollutants for a reset-clean feel, driven by a high-detergency surfactant system.
• Helps Remove Mineral Buildup: Chelation with Disodium EDTA aids in lifting and rinsing hard‑water deposits that can accumulate on hair.
• Rich, Stable Lather: Synergistic surfactants create dense, stable foam for even distribution and thorough rinse-out.
• Prepares Hair For Next-Step Treatment: By eliminating oils, product film, and mineral residues, the formula leaves a clean surface to support uniform performance of subsequent professional treatments.

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate: Primary anionic surfactant that solubilizes sebum, styling residues, and pollutants for a thorough clarifying cleanse.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine: Amphoteric co-surfactant that boosts detergency and foam, aiding removal of oils and buildup while moderating the harshness of strong anionics.

Disodium EDTA: Chelating agent that binds calcium/magnesium and other metal ions to help dislodge and rinse away hard‑water mineral deposits.

Cocamide MEA: Foam stabilizer and co-surfactant that increases lather density and helps emulsify heavy oils for efficient rinse-out.
