FAQ 

Q1. What is DCS Dual Action Crème Shampoo and what does it do?
A: DCS Dual Action Crème Shampoo is a gentle but effective shampoo formulated for chemically treated, color-treated, or otherwise fragile hair. It cleanses while helping to keep the hair’s cuticles compact — preserving color and protecting hair from moisture loss, physical wear, and thermal damage. 

Q2. What hair types or hair needs is it best for?
A: This shampoo works well for all hair types — especially for hair that has been chemically straightened, colored, or treated. It’s ideal for clients who need a color-safe, moisturizing and protective shampoo, or those with fragile or processed hair. 

Q3. What are the main benefits of using this shampoo over a regular shampoo?

• It’s sulfate- and sodium-chloride-free — making it safer for color-treated and chemically processed hair. 

• Its blend of botanical extracts and oils (chamomile, sage, rosemary, nettle, jojoba, avocado) helps nourish, keep hair supple, increase elasticity and shine. 

• It smoothes rough cuticles (thanks to pH ~5.0) — which enhances shine and manageability. 

• It provides volume and leaves no residue.

Q4. How should a stylist or client use DCS for best results?
A: Use a small (quarter-sized) amount of shampoo, rub it between palms to liquefy, apply to wet hair, lather gently, then rinse thoroughly. For clients using a lot of styling products, DCS can also be applied to dry hair first to help lift out product buildup, then rinse and shampoo again. 

Q5. What results can clients expect after regular use?
A: Clients can expect hair that retains color longer, feels softer, shinier and more manageable — with improved elasticity and less risk of dryness or damage even when hair is chemically treated.

Q6. Why should a salon or stylist offer this shampoo in their professional catalog?
A: Because it’s a salon-grade shampoo that meets common professional needs — color retention, gentle cleansing for chemically treated hair, cuticle protection, and moisture/shine enhancement. It offers a value-added solution for clients who want to maintain hair health after color or chemical services.
