The story
Most shampoos take something. This one gives it back. The Cymbidium orchid complex and coconut oil go to work while you lather, restoring the moisture curly and damaged hair loses fastest, and Dynagen-R rebuilds the protein underneath. The lather is gentle, the rinse is clean, and what you feel afterwards is the difference: hair that combs through easily, dries with more body, and holds a curl pattern instead of fraying into frizz.
What it does
- Gentle cleansing
- Clinically restores damage
- Restores moisture balance
- Improves hair elasticity and suppleness
- Reproteinizes
Clinically backed repair
Dynagen-R is our patented hair technology, sourced in France and exclusive to REDAVID: a yeast protein fermented from Fair Trade sugar cane that is molecularly similar to your own hair protein, so it bonds into damaged patches instead of sitting on top. In laboratory testing it raised the markers of hair strength and structure by 50.94% against an untreated control. Three phases, every time you use it: Rebuild, Rehydrate, Reseal.

Four times the free radical defence
In clinical trials our Cymbidium orchid complex was shown to target the microscopic imperfections in the cuticle and fill in the gaps for mirror-like shine, and to act as a natural moisture balancer, keeping essential moisture in and excess moisture out. Its orchicyanins scavenge up to four times more free radicals than vitamins E and C.

Key ingredients
Cymbidium orchid complex
Balances moisture inside the strand and scavenges free radicals from colour, heat and sun. Sustainably harvested from the boat orchid, the flower that started the whole line.
Coconut oil
Reproteinizes and rehydrates, replacing what washing and styling strip out. One of the few oils shown to reduce protein loss from hair.
Shea butter
Lays a moisture barrier over dry lengths so the wash does not take more than it gives. Skincare grade, Fair Trade, and the ingredient our driest hair clients ask for by name.
How to use
- Wet hair through.
- Work a small amount into the scalp with your fingertips and let the lather carry down the lengths.
- Leave two to three minutes, then rinse well.
- Follow with Orchid Oil Conditioner. For curls, go straight from the shower to the Leave-In Conditioner and Curl Defining Creme on soaking wet hair.
Feels like: A soft, low lather that rinses clean. Smells like: Orchid, honeysuckle and vanilla.
