Root Re-Boot Shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse and refresh the scalp while helping with root weakness, buildup, and hair loss concerns. It combines salicylic acid, niacinamide, and dexpanthenol to exfoliate, soothe, and nourish the follicle area. Botanical extracts such as ginger, apple, tea tree, centella asiatica, and malt provide antioxidant support and help balance oil. Menthol gives a cooling sensation that invigorates the scalp after each wash.

What this product is

Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.

Overview

Root Re-Boot Shampoo is a shampoo from LADOR, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on oil control, scalp soothing and build-up avoidance. The ingredients doing most of that work are Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate. The list runs to 45 ingredients, 19 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.

How it cleanses

It cleanses with Ammonium Laureth Sulfate and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, a sulfate detergent — effective on oil and product, and the thing people move away from when colour fades fast or the lengths feel stripped. It is buffered with Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which softens that considerably.

How it feels on hair

The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. There are no silicones in the list. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.

On the scalp

For the scalp itself the formula carries Menthol, Salicylic Acid and Panthenol. A sensitive or easily irritated scalp may want something milder — the detergent here is the strong kind.

Build-up and porosity

It suits low porosity in particular.

Where it goes

It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else. Wet hair with warm water and take an adequate amount of shampoo. Massage into scalp and hair while creating foam. After a massage, wash thoroughly with lukewarm water.

What it is not for

Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, volume / lightweight, curl definition and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.

In short

Working for it

  • No silicones
  • Light enough for fine hair

Worth knowing

  • Cleansed with sulfates
  • Contains fragrance
  • Not the gentlest option for a reactive scalp
