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
Amino Damage Repair is a shampoo from SALON LINK, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on oil control, moisture and scalp soothing. The ingredients doing most of that work are Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. The list runs to 41 ingredients, 14 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it cleanses
It is sulfate-free: the cleansing is done by Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, milder surfactants that leave more of the hair's own oil behind.
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.
Protein
There is a small amount of protein in the list: Arginine.
Where it goes
It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else.
What it is not for
Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, volume / lightweight, color protection and damage repair — 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 sulfate detergents
- No silicones
