A clean foundation starts at the scalp. Reset sweat, excess oil and styling residue before rebuilding your routine.
If your hair feels coated, heavy or increasingly difficult to style, adding another layer of styling product may not be the answer. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your hair is start over.
R-10 Reset Shampoo is Step 1 of the Redline R-Series. Its job is simple: wash away sweat, excess oil and leftover styling product so your hair is clean and ready for whatever comes next.
01 / Wet your hair completely
Start with thoroughly wet hair.
Make sure water reaches the scalp, roots and full length of the hair before applying shampoo. Starting with enough water helps the shampoo distribute more evenly and makes it easier to work through the hair.
02 / Massage the scalp and roots
Apply a small amount of R-10 Reset Shampoo and begin at the scalp.
Massage with your fingertips, concentrating on the roots and the areas where sweat, oil and styling residue tend to accumulate. Work the shampoo through the hair rather than immediately adding more product.
Your scalp is the priority. The lengths of your hair will be cleansed as you work the shampoo through and rinse.
03 / Work through and rinse completely
Once you have thoroughly cleansed the scalp and roots, work the lather through the rest of your hair.
Rinse completely with water. Pay attention to easy-to-miss areas like the back of the head, around the hairline and behind the ears.
Take the time to rinse everything out before moving on.
04 / Assess before washing again
After rinsing, check how your hair feels.
For normal daily cleansing, one thorough wash may be all you need. If you have been using heavier styling products or have significant sweat, oil or buildup, repeat the process when necessary.
The goal is not to shampoo more than you need. It is to leave the hair feeling clean and ready to style again.
When should you use R-10?
Use R-10 when your hair needs a clean starting point.
That might be after a workout, after a long day in hot conditions or when several days of styling product have started to make the hair feel heavy or difficult to manage.
It can also be used as your regular shampoo based on your hair, scalp and activity level.
Why does removing buildup matter?
Styling products work best when they are applied intentionally.
When fresh product is repeatedly layered over old product, sweat and excess oil, it becomes harder to control exactly what the hair is doing. Hair can begin to feel heavier, flatter or less responsive even when you are using more styling product.
Cleaning the hair gives you a predictable starting point again.
That is why R-10 is the first step in the R-Series.
What comes after R-10?
You do not need to use every Redline product every time you wash your hair.
Choose the next step based on the result you want.
Use R-20 Primer Paste when you want flexible control and a foundation for blow-drying.
Use R-30 Structure Clay when you need stronger hold, structure and definition.
Use R-40 Texture Powder when your finished style needs additional root lift and dry texture.
Or stop after R-10 if clean hair is all you need.
AVOID THIS MISTAKE
Adding more styling product when buildup is the reason your hair is becoming difficult to style. Reset first, then decide what the hair actually needs.
Common questions
Can I use R-10 Reset Shampoo every day?
R-10 is designed for regular cleansing. How often you shampoo should depend on your hair, scalp and activity level. Someone training or sweating daily may wash more frequently than someone with a less active routine.
Will it remove styling product?
R-10 helps wash away leftover styling product along with sweat and excess oil. Massage thoroughly and rinse completely. Repeat when necessary after heavier product use.
How much should I use?
Start with a small amount on thoroughly wet hair. Work it through the scalp and roots before deciding whether you need more.
Do I need conditioner afterward?
If your hair needs additional softness or help with tangles, follow with a conditioner suited to your hair type.
Do I have to use the rest of the R-Series afterward?
No. R-10 works as a standalone shampoo or as Step 1 of a larger Redline styling routine.
