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.

Concentrated Scalp & Hair Treatment That Strengthens Hair Weightlessly
The Proof is in the Reviews
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 Cleanser + Conditioner | Fine Wavy Hair
Sunflower Extract
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.
Capryl/Caprylyl Glucoside
A gentle, plant-derived surfactant that cleanses without disrupting your skin's barrier or stripping natural oils. Derived from coconut and fruit sugars, it's one of the mildest cleansing agents available and suitable for the most reactive skin types.
Panthenol (vitamin B5)
Penetrates into skin and converts to pantothenic acid, which your cells use to produce energy and repair themselves. Attracts and holds moisture, reduces redness, and strengthens the skin barrier. One of those ingredients that quietly makes everything better.
As Seen In
I love this cleanser as a second cleanse. It’s excellent for a scalp massage and mask in the shower, loosening any dead skin and calming down any inflamed spots. This is a necessary part of my shower routine. I also love transferring a little to a small container for travel when I don’t want to pack both a shampoo & conditioner.
Love this product. My hair has never been healthier and I get lots of compliments on how healthy my hair looks
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!
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.
Amazing for the hair! It makes hair look great and feel healthy.
