Hair is made up of protein. Every touch, every treatment, every style you love—it all rewrites your hair’s protein. When protein is damaged, hair’s look and feel are compromised. That’s why Nexxus uses protein science not just to repair hair but to restore its ability to perform. It isn't about one perfect hair day. It's about a lifetime of healthy hair, built strand by strand. Healthy, moisturized hair isn’t just about hydration – it’s about balance. When your hair’s protein-lipid ratio is off, strands become stiff, brittle, dry, and frizzy because the internal structure breaks down and the outer cuticle can’t hold moisture. THERAPPE and HUMECTRESS, our ultimate moisture collection, uses POLYSOFT HYDRATOR technology with tri-lipids and protein-strengthening actives to restore that balance. It seals the cuticle to lock in hydration visibly combats dryness in just one use. Our best-seller shampoo and conditioner also deliver a moisture boost for softness and manageability, detangles hair and reduces frizz for polished strands. The shampoo for dry hair and the conditioner for dry hair helps rebuild your hair’s structure and lock in moisture, so hair feels soft, smooth, and resilient—no matter your texture. Nexxus, the protein science behind powerful hair since 1979.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the unscented formula safe for people with fragrance allergies?
Yes. Therappe is formulated without added fragrance, making it suitable for fragrance-sensitive users and allergy-prone scalps.
Is this shampoo gentle enough for a sensitive or reactive scalp?
Yes. The gentle, unscented formulation is designed to cleanse without irritating sensitive skin, making it a trusted option for reactive scalps.
Is this safe for daily use on chemically treated or color-damaged hair?
Yes. The formula is gentle enough for daily use and is suitable for chemically treated and color-processed hair, supporting strand repair without harsh stripping.
Does this shampoo contain harsh sulfates that could irritate my scalp?
Therappe is formulated to gently cleanse while restoring moisture; it is designed for sensitive and treated hair, though you should review the full ingredient list if you have specific known sensitivities.
Is this safe to use on a child's hair or for a family member with eczema?
The unscented, gentle formula is suitable for sensitive users, but for young children or anyone with a diagnosed skin condition, we recommend consulting a dermatologist before use.
Can I use this shampoo if I'm pregnant and worried about fragrance exposure?
Yes, many fragrance-sensitive users choose Therappe specifically for its unscented profile. As always, consult your doctor if you have specific pregnancy-related ingredient concerns.
Is the formula safe for color-treated hair without fading my color?
Yes. Therappe is suitable for all hair colors and is designed to gently cleanse without stripping color, supporting long-lasting vibrancy.
Will the protein-strengthening actives cause scalp irritation?
No. The formula is engineered to be gentle while delivering protein benefits, and the unscented profile reduces the risk of irritation for most users.
Is the 13.5 oz bottle safe to store in a steamy shared bathroom?
Yes. The salon-style bottle is designed for bathroom storage and will hold up well in humid, shared shower environments.
Is this safe to use alongside prescription scalp treatments?
Therappe is a gentle, fragrance-free formula, but if you are using a medicated scalp treatment, we recommend consulting your dermatologist before combining products.
How does this compare to heavily perfumed drugstore shampoos for sensitive users?
Unlike heavily perfumed drugstore options, Therappe is unscented and formulated for sensitive scalps, making it a much safer daily choice for allergy-prone users.
Is this safer for color-treated hair than a clarifying shampoo?
Yes. Clarifying shampoos can strip color and moisture, while Therappe gently cleanses while sealing the cuticle and preserving color integrity.
How does it compare to a 'natural' shampoo for safety-conscious shoppers?
Therappe offers salon-grade protein-lipid science in an unscented, gentle formula, providing more targeted repair than many 'natural' shampoos that lack proven strengthening actives.
Will the unscented formula actually still clean my hair effectively?
Yes. The unscented profile refers to fragrance, not cleansing power. Therappe cleanses thoroughly while restoring hydration and softness.
Is it safe to use this shampoo every single day long-term?
Yes. The gentle, daily-use formula is designed for long-term, everyday cleansing on dry, frizzy, or chemically treated hair.
What if my scalp reacts — can I return the product?
Return policies are set by the retailer, so please review the specific shop's return policy. If you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
How do I use Nexxus Therappe Shampoo for the best results?
Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp and strands to build a gentle lather, then rinse thoroughly. For optimal hydration, follow with the Nexxus Therappe Conditioner and allow it to sit for 1–2 minutes before rinsing.
How often should I use this shampoo on dry or chemically treated hair?
Therappe is gentle enough for daily use, but most users with dry or chemically treated hair see excellent results washing 2–3 times per week to maximize the 72-hour moisture benefit.
Do I need to use the matching Therappe conditioner with this shampoo?
While the shampoo works well on its own, the matching Therappe conditioner is designed to complement its 72-hour hydration system and is recommended for the best softness, detangling, and frizz-control results.
Is this shampoo compatible with color-treated, keratin-treated, or chemically relaxed hair?
Yes. Therappe is suitable for chemically treated and color-processed hair, and its gentle, unscented formula supports color longevity and strand repair.
Can I use this shampoo alongside other haircare products like serums or leave-in treatments?
Yes. Therappe is compatible with most serums, leave-in conditioners, and styling products. Apply Therappe first to cleanse, then layer your preferred post-wash treatments on damp hair.
What is included when I order this product, and is anything sold separately?
You will receive one 13.5 oz bottle of Nexxus Therappe Ultimate Moisture Shampoo. The matching Therappe Conditioner, scalp treatments, and other Nexxus products are sold separately.
Is this shampoo safe for sensitive scalps and fragrance-allergy users?
Yes. The unscented, gentle formulation is designed for fragrance-sensitive users, allergy-prone scalps, and those who prefer to layer their own signature scents without competition.
Will this shampoo dry out my hair with regular use?
No. Therappe is specifically engineered to add and retain moisture through its 4.9% Polysoft Hydrator and tri-lipid blend, helping prevent the dryness often associated with regular cleansing.
What is the difference between a hydrating shampoo and a regular shampoo?
A regular shampoo focuses primarily on cleansing, while a hydrating shampoo like Therappe is formulated to cleanse and simultaneously restore moisture, smoothness, and the hair's protein-lipid balance, making it ideal for dry, frizzy, or chemically treated hair.
