Frequently asked questions.
Clear answers about our shampoo, hard water, your hair routine, and shopping with RootRecipe.
The product
What is RootRecipe Scalp Fortifying Anti-Breakage Shampoo?
It is a scalp-focused shampoo made for a considered cleansing routine. The formula combines cleansing ingredients with glycerin, panthenol, and Disodium EDTA. View the product page .
What size is the bottle?
Each bottle contains 300 ml of shampoo.
Is this shampoo only for people with hard water?
No. It can be used as part of a regular hair-washing routine. Its formula also includes Disodium EDTA, an ingredient used to bind minerals during washing.
Does the shampoo regrow hair or treat hair loss?
No. RootRecipe is a cosmetic shampoo, not a treatment for hair loss or a promise of regrowth. Hair shedding and hair breakage can have different causes. If you notice sudden or persistent hair loss, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
When will I notice a difference in how my hair feels?
Hair responds differently from person to person, so we do not promise a fixed timeline or a specific result. Your hair type, styling habits, other products, and water can all affect your experience.
Hard water & hair
What is hard water?
Hard water contains higher amounts of dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. The hardness of your water depends on your local supply. Read our Hard Water Education guide for a fuller explanation.
How can I find out if my water is hard?
Check whether your water supplier provides a hardness reading, or use an appropriate home water-hardness test. Mineral marks around taps and shower glass can be clues, but they do not provide an exact measurement.
Does hard water always cause hair breakage?
No single cause explains every case of breakage. Hair care practices, heat, colouring, brushing, and other factors can matter too. Research on the direct effect of hard water on hair strength has produced mixed results.
Is hair breakage the same as hair shedding?
No. Breakage means a strand snaps along its length. Shedding means a hair comes away from the root as part of the hair cycle. If shedding seems excessive or unusual for you, seek professional advice.
Does RootRecipe soften the water from my shower?
No. Shampoo does not change the hardness of the water supplied to your home. If you want to address your water supply, first check its hardness and then consider an appropriate water treatment separately.
Ingredients
What does Disodium EDTA do in the formula?
Disodium EDTA is a mineral-binding ingredient used in cosmetic formulas. Its presence does not mean that the shampoo softens your shower water or guarantees removal of all existing residue.
Why are glycerin and panthenol included?
Glycerin is used as a humectant, while panthenol is commonly used as a conditioning ingredient. Together, they support the formula's approach to how hair feels after cleansing.
Does the shampoo contain fragrance?
Yes. Parfum (Fragrance) appears in the ingredient list. If you know you are sensitive to fragranced products, review the full label before use.
Where can I see the full ingredient list?
The full ingredient list is on the product page and on the product packaging. Check the packaging you receive for the most current list, especially if you have a known ingredient sensitivity.
How to use
How do I use RootRecipe shampoo?
Wet your hair thoroughly. Apply shampoo to the scalp, massage gently, and rinse well. Follow the directions on your bottle and use your usual conditioner on the lengths if needed.
How often should I wash my hair with it?
Wash according to your hair and scalp needs and the directions on the bottle. There is no single schedule that suits everyone.
Should I apply shampoo to the scalp or the hair lengths?
Focus the massage on your scalp. Let the lather pass through the lengths as you rinse, without rubbing the strands roughly.
Can I use a conditioner after shampooing?
Yes. If your lengths feel dry or tangle easily, use a conditioner that suits your hair and follow its directions.
What if the product does not suit my scalp?
Stop using it if you experience discomfort. For a persistent reaction or scalp concern, consult a qualified healthcare professional. You can also email us at support@rootrecipe.com with the product details.
