StrandTheory Reset Shampoo

StrandTheory Reset is not just a shampoo—it’s a hair health system in a bottle, designed to reset your scalp and strands at the molecular level. Born from Lab of RAD’s obsession with peptide science and botanical integrity, this clarifying yet nourishing shampoo blends the best of clinical-grade bioactives with clean, all-natural surfactants for a truly elevated hair care experience.

At the heart of StrandTheory Reset is GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1), a clinically-studied peptide known for its ability to stimulate follicle regeneration, extend the anagen (growth) phase of hair, and improve overall hair shaft integrity. At a 0.5% active concentration, this formula delivers meaningful bioactivity without irritating sensitive scalps, making it ideal for those seeking visible results without compromise.

StrandTheory Reset goes beyond cleansing. Its ultra-mild, sulfate-free surfactant system—including Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, and Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine—gently removes buildup, excess oils, and pollutants while preserving your hair’s natural moisture barrier. This makes it perfect for frequent use or for anyone looking to reset their scalp microbiome without stripping the hair of its essential lipids.

Botanicals play a vital supporting role in this formula. Aloe Vera Juice and White Tea Extract work in synergy to calm inflammation, protect the scalp from oxidative stress, and provide a gentle antioxidant shield. The aloe penetrates the scalp to hydrate and soothe, while the white tea offers polyphenols that defend against environmental stressors. This botanical base replaces the need for synthetic fragrance or masking agents—letting the purity of your hair care shine through.

To reinforce each strand from within, the shampoo includes Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, which improves elasticity and resilience, and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) to enhance moisture retention, smoothness, and shine. Arginine, an amino acid naturally found in hair, further supports circulation at the scalp and nutrient delivery at the follicle root, making this shampoo as therapeutic as it is cleansing.

The preservation system includes Leucidal SF Max, a natural probiotic-based preservative, to keep the formulation microbiome-friendly and compliant with clean beauty standards. Citric Acid maintains a scalp-friendly pH between 4.8–5.2, while Polyquaternium-10 adds a gentle detangling, anti-static finish without the use of silicones.

StrandTheory Reset is part of a comprehensive, peptide-based haircare system and is designed to pair perfectly with StrandTheory Rebalance Conditioner for full-spectrum repair, softness, and strength. Whether you’re starting fresh, recovering from buildup, or prepping your hair for peptide-rich conditioning, Reset is your new first step toward visibly healthier, stronger, shinier hair.
