Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo — 16.9 fl oz, Coconut Oil & Wheat Protein for Gentle Daily Strengthening

Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo is a gentle, daily-use cleanser formulated with amino acids, coconut oil, and wheat protein to cleanse, soften, and help strengthen hair without weighing it down.

This lightweight, creamy shampoo is designed for routine use on all hair types. It combines surfactants that create a pleasant lather with conditioning actives — amino acids to help retain moisture, coconut oil to add nourishing fatty acids, and wheat protein for extra conditioning. The result is hair that feels clean, appears shinier, and moves with added body, while the paraben-free formula keeps the routine simple and approachable.

How does this shampoo clean without drying out my hair?

The formula balances mild cleansing agents with humectant and emollient ingredients so hair is rinsed of dirt and buildup but not stripped. Amino acids help attract and retain moisture at the hair surface while coconut oil supplies fatty acids that smooth and nourish strands. Wheat protein supports softer, more conditioned hair after each wash.

• Mild surfactants: produce foam and remove oils and impurities gently.
• Amino acids: support moisture retention and surface hydration.
• Coconut oil: adds nourishing fatty acids without heavy residue.
• Wheat protein: improves conditioning and hair manageability.

Will it work for my hair type and help prevent breakage?

This shampoo is formulated to be suitable for all hair textures and thicknesses; it cleans while helping hair feel fuller and more resilient. Regular use can help hair look and feel stronger by maintaining moisture and reducing friction between strands, which can lower breakage during combing and styling.

• All hair types: safe for fine, medium, or coarse hair.
• Daily-friendly: lightweight texture designed for frequent use.
• Strengthening support: ingredients that condition and reduce friction.
• No heavy buildup: keeps volume without weighed-down residue.

How should I use Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo for best results?

Apply directly to wet hair and massage gently to form a rich lather, then rinse fully. For enhanced conditioning and a full routine, follow with the matching Kiehl's Amino Acid conditioner to lock in moisture and boost softness.

• Wet hair thoroughly before application.
• Massage scalp and lengths to distribute lather evenly.
• Rinse completely and repeat only if desired.
• Pair with the Kiehl's Amino Acid conditioner for optimal finish.

Is this shampoo free from parabens and suitable for everyday use?
