Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo Refill, 380ml

(1) Over 84% serum ingredients in the formula — cleanses while actively moisturising hair from the first wash
(2) Reduces dryness, stiffness, and frizz so hair feels smooth and manageable even at the ends
(3) Gentle, dense lather that works as a brief leave-on treatment before rinsing for deeper hydration

There's a specific kind of hair problem this shampoo is made for: the kind where hair is clean after washing but still feels dry, stiff, or immediately frizzy the moment humidity hits. The Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo addresses that through its Aqua Delivery Formula — more than 84% serum ingredients — which means the lather isn't just cleaning, it's actively laying down a moisture foundation at the same time. The foam is dense and rich in a way that feels more like a treatment than a standard shampoo, and the brand specifically recommends leaving the lather on the hair for a moment before rinsing, which lets the honey and botanical extracts do more work per wash. Finished hair feels softer, less reactive to humidity, and noticeably smoother through the mid-lengths and ends. The honey savon scent — warm, clean, lightly sweet — lingers pleasantly without being heavy.

(1) Organic Manuka Honey: a premium honey source known for its deep moisturising and conditioning properties
(2) Hydrolyzed Royal Jelly Protein: nourishes hair and supports a smoother, softer surface feel
(3) Hydrolyzed Silk: adds slip, smoothness, and a subtle shine to each strand
(4) Damask Rose, Chamomile & Lavender Flower Extracts: soothing botanicals that support scalp comfort and fragrance
(5) Meadowfoam Estolide & γ-Docosalactone: moisture-locking ingredients that help the hydration stay in the hair after rinsing

Thoroughly wet hair with warm water before applying. Pump an appropriate amount of the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo into your palms — roughly two to three pumps for medium-length hair — lather between hands and work into the scalp and hair from root to tip. For best results, leave the lather on the hair for a minute or two before rinsing, allowing the serum ingredients to penetrate while the foam is still active. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Follow with the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair treatment for a complete wash routine, especially if hair is dry or damaged at the ends.

Q: What makes the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo different from a regular moisturising shampoo?
A: The Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo is formulated with over 84% serum ingredients through its Aqua Delivery Formula, which means each wash is more densely concentrated with conditioning actives than most drugstore shampoos. Rather than simply coating the hair surface, it works to circulate moisture through the hair with cumulative effect — results tend to improve the more consistently it's used.
Q: Should I leave the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo on my hair before rinsing?
A: Yes — the brand recommends wrapping hair in the lather and leaving it for a short time before rinsing. This brief pause allows the Manuka honey, Royal Jelly Protein, and botanical extracts in the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo to work more effectively per wash.
Q: Is the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo suitable for colour-treated hair?
A: Yes — the gentle surfactant blend avoids harsh stripping agents, making the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo a safe daily-use option for colour-treated or chemically processed hair. The honey and silk ingredients also help to smooth the cuticle, which can help colour appear more vibrant.
Q: What does the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo smell like?
A: It has a honey savon scent — warm, softly sweet, and cleanly soapy rather than heavily floral or perfumed. The scent is pleasant during washing and fades to a light, subtle warmth on dry hair.
Q: Does the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair Gentle Shampoo need to be used with a matching treatment?
A: It can be used on its own and delivers noticeable softness and hydration alone. For hair that is heavily damaged, very dry at the ends, or prone to significant frizz, pairing it with the Ahalo Honey Hydro & Repair treatment will give a more complete result — the treatment focuses on cuticle repair that the shampoo step begins.
