Product Description

Concentrated Scalp & Hair Cleanser for Fine Wavy Hair

Concentrated formula that cleanses and conditions in one step
Contains sunflower extracts to strengthen hair's cortex
Uses gentle micellar technology that won't strip natural oils
Specifically formulated for fine to medium-fine wavy hair

Helios is a dual-action formula that addresses both scalp health and hair quality in a single, concentrated treatment. This cleanser-conditioner hybrid takes a holistic approach to hair care, recognizing that beautiful hair begins with a balanced, nourished scalp. Formulated specifically for fine to medium-fine wavy hair textures, Helios delivers gentle cleansing through low-foam micellar surfactants that remove impurities without disrupting the scalp's natural moisture.

Supports hair's integrity while nourishing the scalp

The formula features sunflower-derived compounds rich in vitamin F, polyphenols, and antioxidants that support the hair's cortex and structural integrity. Unlike volumizing products that create temporary fullness by roughening the cuticle, Helios supports natural texture while improving fundamental hair health.

Lightweight yet deep conditioning treatment

Panthenol (provitamin B5) and hydrolyzed oat protein deliver lightweight conditioning that improves flexibility and manageability without weighing down fine hair. These ingredients help reinforce the hair while providing surface smoothing benefits. Sea buckthorn fruit oil adds antioxidant protection while imparting subtle shine and helping to seal moisture.

Helios is more concentrated than standard cleansers—up to three times more concentrated—reducing the amount needed per application. The recommended double S&M method (Soak, Saturate, Massage, Marinate) ensures thorough product distribution for optimal results. The creamy, golden-yellow formula transforms into a light lather upon contact with water, effectively cleansing without leaving hair feeling stripped.

Using this Cream

Experience it

Helios transforms from a creamy, golden-yellow texture into a light lather that cleanses thoroughly without stripping natural oils from hair or scalp. Its fresh floral scent with subtle green and spicy notes provides a sensorial escape during application, while the formula works to strengthen and hydrate both scalp and strands. After rinsing, hair feels remarkably clean yet conditioned—light, bouncy, and manageable with a natural shine that comes from improved hair health rather than product residue.

How to Use it

Incorporate Helios into your hair care routine by applying a quarter-sized amount to soaking wet hair, following the double S&M method—Soak the scalp and hair, Saturate evenly from roots to ends, Massage gently with fingertips, and Marinate for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use daily or as needed based on your hair washing frequency, with no need for additional conditioner. For those with heavier styling product use or who wash infrequently, a second application may prove beneficial. Follow with AirJelly hair serum (once available!) for optimal results.

Why You Need it

Helios is made for those with fine to medium-fine wavy hair—providing thorough cleansing without stripping, and substantial conditioning without weighing hair down. Unlike conventional volumizing products that create temporary fullness by damaging the hair cuticle, Helios supports long-term hair health by nourishing the scalp, strengthening the hair cortex, and protecting natural texture. The concentrated formula offers exceptional value, with one bottle equivalent to approximately three standard products, while the gentle micellar technology prevents the scalp irritation and dryness that often plague those with fine hair who seek volume and manageability.

Key Ingredients in HELIOS Scalp Cleanser + Hair Conditioning Concentrate

Sunflower Extract

Derived from the vibrant Helianthus annuus flower, sunflower extract delivers exceptional benefits for hair health and appearance. Rich in vitamins A, D, and E, along with essential fatty acids, this botanical extract creates a protective shield around hair strands to lock in moisture and prevent environmental damage. Sunflower extract helps smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing shine while its antioxidant properties protect color-treated hair from fading. The natural proteins in this golden extract strengthen weak or damaged strands, helping to prevent breakage and split ends. Regular use results in softer, more manageable hair that maintains its natural bounce and resilience against heat styling and environmental stressors.

Capryl/Caprylyl Glucoside

This gentle cleansing agent derived from coconut and sugar provides the perfect balance of purifying power and scalp care. Capryl/Caprylyl Glucoside creates a mild, biodegradable lather that effectively removes product buildup, excess sebum, and impurities from both hair and scalp without stripping essential moisture. Its low irritation potential makes it ideal for sensitive scalps prone to itching or flaking. Unlike harsh sulfates, this innovative ingredient respects your scalp's natural pH balance and protective barrier while allowing hair to retain its natural oils and shine. The result is clean, refreshed strands from root to tip and a healthier scalp environment that supports optimal hair growth and strength over time.

Panthenol (vitamin B5)

Panthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5, is a moisture-binding ingredient derived from plants. When applied to skin, it converts to pantothenic acid, which deeply hydrates by attracting and holding water while calming irritation and supporting the skin's natural barrier function. Beyond its skin benefits, panthenol also strengthens hair strands and soothes the scalp, making it an ideal ingredient for both facial products and hair care. Its ability to provide lightweight yet effective hydration makes it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Love this product

Love this product. My hair has never been healthier and I get lots of compliments on how healthy my hair looks

Excellent product

This is my second bottle purchase. A little goes a long way. Without stripping it cleans the scalp and hair. The scent is so lux and clean. Please continue making this!

For the men in my life!

Just bought two extra bottles for my dad and brother in law! Both have super thick hair and as winter approaches a little bit of soothing hydration will be a welcome gift.

Stark Helios Scalp Cleanser + Hair Conditioning Concentrate.

Amazing for the hair! It makes hair look great and feel healthy.

Comfortable, hydrating

I greatly enjoy the fact this product leaves my scalp feeling super comfortable, soothed. I'm still getting used to the steps required and length of time needed to coat the shaft of the hair. That is the only reason I took a star off, as I recognize this is an awsome and unique product.
