LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothness Shampoo Refill, 280g

(1) 80 percent serum-based formula — richer than standard drugstore shampoos at the same price point
(2) Hydrolyzed silk and argan oil visibly smooth friction-damaged frizz and improve hair manageability
(3) Water lily and lavender scent designed to ease the transition into sleep — lingers lightly after rinsing

The LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo was designed around a specific insight: that a significant portion of the damage making hair puff and fray happens not during the day but at night, from hours of hair-against-pillow friction. The formula is positioned as a night-care ritual rather than just a daily wash — a shampoo that preps hair to survive sleep rather than simply cleaning it. The base is 80 percent beauty serum (water included, minus preservatives and stabilizers), which is a notably rich ratio for a mass-market shampoo. Hydrolyzed silk and argan oil work as repair and smoothing agents, while lavender extract adds both moisture and the calm, sleep-adjacent scent the line is built around. The fragrance — a composed blend of water lily and lavender — is soft and grown-up, distinctly more spa than floral candy. Reviewers consistently note the foam quality: fine, dense, and easy to work through even thicker hair without needing to double-shampoo.

(1) Hydrolyzed Silk (加水分解シルク): a protein-based repair agent that smooths the hair surface and reduces frizz from mechanical friction
(2) Argan Oil (アルガンオイル): a nourishing plant oil that conditions and adds surface shine without heaviness
(3) Lavender Extract (ラベンダーエキス): a botanical moisturizing agent with a calming, sleep-supportive scent profile
(4) Serum-based formula base (80 percent): a high-moisture carrier that delivers conditioning agents more effectively than standard shampoo bases
(5) Water Lily (睡蓮, via fragrance): contributes the signature fresh, aquatic top note of the line's scent blend

Use the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo as the final step of your evening shower or bath. Wet hair thoroughly, then apply an adequate amount — roughly two to three pumps for medium-length hair — and work into a lather from roots to ends using circular motions at the scalp. Focus on distributing the foam evenly through the mid-lengths and ends, where friction damage tends to accumulate. Rinse thoroughly. For best results, follow immediately with the matching conditioner or tube treatment, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Lightly towel-dry rather than vigorously rubbing, and allow hair to air-dry or blow-dry gently before sleep to reduce overnight friction and tangles.

Q: What makes the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo different from other LUX shampoos?
A: The Relax Night Care line is specifically designed for evening use and targets friction damage — the kind caused by sleeping on hair that is not adequately conditioned before bed. It includes lavender extract and a water lily and lavender fragrance profile that other lines in the Super Rich Shine range do not have, and it prioritizes smoothness and manageability over volumizing or intense repair.
Q: Can I use the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo in the morning instead of at night?
A: Yes — the shampoo works any time of day. The "night care" positioning refers to its design intent (prepping hair for sleep) and its calming scent profile, not a formula that is only effective at night. Morning users will still benefit from the smoothing and moisturizing properties.
Q: Does the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo contain silicone?
A: The product information available does not specify a silicone-free claim. Based on the formula composition, it is likely to contain conditioning silicones consistent with standard Super Rich Shine line shampoos. Those specifically avoiding silicones should check the full ingredient list on the product packaging.
Q: Is the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo suitable for color-treated hair?
A: The shampoo is not specifically formulated or marketed for color protection. It will not strip color faster than a standard shampoo, but for actively maintaining color vibrancy, a dedicated color-care shampoo would be a more targeted choice.
Q: Should I use the matching conditioner to get the best results from the LUX Super Rich Shine Relax Night Care Smoothing Shampoo?
A: Line use with the matching conditioner and tube treatment is recommended for the most complete smoothing and manageability result, as each step is formulated to build on the previous one. The shampoo alone delivers visible improvement in hair texture, but pairing it with the conditioner or treatment will extend and deepen the manageability benefit — particularly for longer or more damaged hair.
