Klorane

The simplest way to read Klorane is by the plant on the label, because each extract maps to a job. Peony calms a sensitive scalp, quinine targets thinning, citrus and nettle handle oily roots, and mango butter feeds dry lengths. Once you know which concern is yours, the matching shampoo and conditioner follow from the name. The 400ml shampoos are the everyday workhorses, and most lines have a 200ml conditioner or a treatment to go with them.

If your roots get greasy fast, the Citrus Scaling Shampoo and the Nettle Shampoo are the two to look at. The Citrus Scaling formula is a clarifying wash that lifts buildup so hair stays cleaner between washes. The Nettle line is built around oil control for scalps that produce a lot of sebum. Use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week, not every day, since over-stripping can push the scalp to make even more oil.

Peony is Klorane's soothing line for scalps that feel itchy, tight, or easily irritated. The Peony Shampoo (400ml) cleanses gently, and the Peony Scalp Pack (150ml) is a more concentrated treatment you can apply directly to the scalp for extra relief. If you react to harsher clarifying washes, this is the calmer route. Massage the scalp pack in, leave it for a few minutes, then rinse to let the soothing step do its work.

The Quinine Edelweiss line is aimed at hair that feels thin or lacks density. The Quinine Edelweiss Shampoo (400ml) and matching Conditioner (200ml) are designed to support stronger-looking, fuller hair over regular use. This is a long-game line: results from strengthening formulas show up with consistent washing over time, not after a single bottle. Pair the shampoo and conditioner so the whole length gets the treatment, not just the scalp.

For lengths that feel dry, rough, or thirsty, the Mango Butter Shampoo (400ml) and Conditioner (200ml) add softness and slip. Mango butter is a nourishing step, so this line suits hair that needs more moisture than a clarifying shampoo gives. Use the conditioner mid-length to ends, where hair is oldest and driest, and keep it off the scalp if your roots run oily. It pairs well with the Flex line for everyday softness.

The Flex Shampoo (400ml) is the all-rounder for hair without a strong single concern, giving a clean wash and manageable hair day to day. There is also a Flex Dry Shampoo (150ml) for refreshing roots between washes, which is handy on busy mornings or to stretch a blow-dry an extra day. Spray dry shampoo at the roots, wait a moment, then brush it through so it absorbs oil without leaving a powdery cast.

Klorane sells conditioners to match several of its shampoo lines, and using a pair keeps the same plant focus through the whole wash. The Quinine Edelweiss and Mango Butter lines both have a 200ml conditioner, so the lengths get the same treatment as the scalp. As a rule, apply conditioner from mid-length to ends and rinse well. If you mix lines, pick the conditioner for your hair's biggest need, which is usually dryness at the ends.

Pick the line by the problem you most want solved. Greasy roots point to Citrus or Nettle, an irritated scalp to Peony, thinning to Quinine Edelweiss, and dry lengths to Mango Butter. Many people end up with two: a targeted shampoo for the scalp concern and the Mango Butter conditioner for dry ends. If you are unsure, the Flex line is a safe everyday default you can build around as you learn what your scalp wants.

The shampoos come in 400ml bottles and the conditioners in 200ml, which is enough for months of regular washing before you reorder. Treatments like the Peony Scalp Pack and the Flex Dry Shampoo come in smaller 150ml sizes because you use them less often or in smaller amounts. If a line already works for you, the full-size shampoo and conditioner pair is the sensible buy; if you are testing, start with a single shampoo before adding the conditioner.
