Boticário Match Science Pré e Pós-Química Shampoo – Itaconic Acid & Amino Acid Microinfusion for Chemically Treated Hair – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml)

Boticário Match Science Pré e Pós-Química Shampoo – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml) is the pre- and post-chemical cleansing step created in Brazil for hair that goes through bleaching, coloring, relaxing, keratin treatments, hair botox and perms. It works right at the root of chemically processed hair, preparing each strand to receive active ingredients while delivering a deep, comfortable cleanse that does not leave the fiber feeling stripped.

The formula pairs Itaconic Acid with an Amino Acid Microinfusion that helps reintegrate and restructure the hair fiber from the inside out. Panthenol plus flaxseed and chia seed extracts round out the blend, supporting softness, shine and natural movement wash after wash.

Straight from Brazil, home of some of the world's most demanding hair-care routines, this shampoo is part of the Match. Science line by O Boticário — a Brazilian beauty icon whose products are formulated for tropical humidity, frequent salon chemistry and daily washing.

Key Features:

• Pre- and post-chemical care: designed for use both before and after bleaching, coloring, relaxing, hair botox, keratin smoothing and perms.
• Itaconic Acid: helps reintegrate and restructure the hair fiber, supporting strands weakened by chemical services.
• Amino Acid Microinfusion: revitalizes and helps strengthen the capillary complex, replenishing what chemical processes deplete.
• Deep cleanse without dryness: removes buildup and residue while helping preserve the hair's comfort and moisture balance.
• Helps prevent chemical breakage: supports the fiber so hair looks less prone to snapping after repeated salon treatments.
• Shine, softness and natural movement: Panthenol with flaxseed and chia seed extracts leave hair glossy, soft and with natural swing.
• Certified cruelty-free Brazilian formula: made in Brazil by O Boticário, never tested on animals.

How To Use

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm — not hot — water.
2. Apply the shampoo to damp hair, distributing from roots to lengths.
3. Massage gently with your fingertips until a rich lather forms.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Repeat if your hair is heavily coated with product buildup, then follow with your Match. conditioner or mask.

Expert Tip: Use it as your cleansing step for one to two weeks before a salon chemical service, and keep it as your regular shampoo afterwards — the pre- and post-chemical routine is where the Itaconic Acid and amino acid blend show the most visible payoff.

FAQ

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated and bleached hair?

Yes. It was developed specifically for chemically treated hair, including colored, bleached, relaxed, permed and keratin-smoothed hair, and it cleanses without stripping the fiber.

Should I use it before or after my chemical service?

Both. The formula is indicated for the pre-chemical phase, to prepare the strand, and for the post-chemical phase, to help repair and maintain the result.

Does it contain sulfates?

Yes, it uses Sodium Laureth Sulfate together with milder surfactants such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside for a deep but comfortable cleanse. Check the full INCI list above if you follow a sulfate-free routine.

How often can I wash my hair with it?

It is gentle enough for frequent use — most people use it as their everyday or every-other-day shampoo, following with the matching conditioner or mask.
