Tricoderm Nr.4 Restructuring is a professional trichological shampoo developed to gently cleanse and rebalance itchy, irritated, dry and inflamed scalps. It is also suitable for the care of atopic and psoriasis-prone scalps, providing supportive care for scalp conditions associated with these disorders. The shampoo cleanses both the scalp and hair fibre effectively while respecting skin physiology, preserving the epidermal hydrolipidic protective barrier and the hair’s natural moisture balance. Its formulation supports stabilisation of the hair fibre’s keratin structure, helps reduce micro-damage and improves the hair shaft’s mechanical resistance. At the same time, it supports the scalp’s physiological environment, which is essential for healthy hair-follicle function and sustained high-quality hair growth. Regular and protocol-based use helps restore the structural integrity of the hair fibre, reduce breakage and porosity, and improve hair elasticity and smoothness. The shampoo creates optimal conditions for hair restructuring at both surface and deeper structural levels while also supporting the scalp’s micro-ecological balance.
EFFECTS & RESULTS
✓ Supports structural repair explaining keratin network stabilisation.
✓ Reduces hair breakage and mechanical fragility.
✓ Helps restore hair moisture balance and elasticity.
✓ Preserves the scalp’s hydrolipidic barrier.
✓ Improves overall hair quality and resilience.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Suitable for chemically treated, bleached or colour-treated hair, as well as heat-damaged, mechanically weakened, porous, fragile and breakage-prone hair, when the goal is to restore hair structure and overall quality as part of a professional care protocol.
HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount of shampoo to wet hair and scalp. Gently massage using a scalp brush or fingertips until an even lather forms, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat the cleansing process (double cleansing is always recommended) during the second wash allow the shampoo to act on the scalp for 2 - 3 minutes, then rinse carefully. For optimal results, combine with products from the corresponding Tricoderm restructuring care programme.
WHY SHOULD THE HAIR BE WASHED 2 - 3 TIMES?
This is not a cosmetic habit, but a trichological treatment protocol. Effective scalp care and therapeutic results are achieved only when cleansing and active-ingredient absorption occur in the correct sequence.
First wash = Cleansing phase. The scalp is covered with sebum, sweat, dandruff, microbial biofilm, air pollution, silicones and styling-product residues. These form a barrier that prevents active ingredients from reaching the skin. The purpose of the first wash is to remove this surface layer and prepare the scalp for treatment.
Second wash = Active treatment phase. Once surface impurities and sebum have been removed, the shampoo’s active ingredients can penetrate into the epidermis and hair follicles. Therefore the second wash must be left on the scalp for 2 - 3 minutes, this is the so-called pharmacological contact time, during which active substances can exert their biological and therapeutic effects.
Third wash = deep protocol (if necessary). A third wash is required when the scalp is very oily, severe dandruff, seborrhoea or hyperkeratosis is present, or when heavy use of styling products has created a biofilm on the scalp. The third wash ensures that follicles are fully open, inflammatory residues are removed, and the scalp is therapeutically clean and maximally receptive to active ingredients.
SUMMARY
1. First wash = Cleansing.
2. Second wash = Treatment.
3. Third wash (if needed) = Deep protocol.
This is why trichological shampoos such as Tricoderm, Pharma Hermetic, Mediceuticals, Bao-Med function not only as cleansers but as true therapeutic scalp-care products.
GOOD TO KNOW - One 250ml bottle lasts approximately 3 - 4 months, depending on washing frequency.
