Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash

The Reset Your Hair Did Not Know It Needed

Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash is a deep-cleansing clarifying shampoo that removes product buildup, excess oil, mineral deposits, and anything else that has accumulated on your hair and scalp over time. If your hair feels heavy, limp, or unresponsive lately even though you have not changed your routine, buildup is usually the reason. One wash with Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash and your hair feels clean in a way it probably has not felt in months.

Best For

• Hair with product buildup from styling products, dry shampoo, or heavy conditioners
• Scalps that feel oily, congested, or irritated
• Anyone on hard water, which causes mineral deposits to build up on hair over time
• Swimmers who deal with chlorine or salt water buildup
• Anyone whose hair suddenly feels flat or heavy without explanation

What It Helps With

Buildup, heaviness, lack of volume, dullness, and scalp congestion. Your everyday shampoo does a great job of cleaning your hair, but it is not designed to remove months of accumulated residue from dry shampoo, styling products, hard water minerals, and environmental pollutants. Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash is. Think of it as a monthly reset that lets your regular products actually work the way they are supposed to.

Why Clients Love It

The "what happened to my hair" moment. Clients who use Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash for the first time often cannot believe the difference. Hair feels lighter, cleaner, and more bouncy. Styles hold better. Shampoos and conditioners absorb better. Even color looks brighter because it is not trapped under a layer of residue. Everything just works better after a clarifying wash.

How to Use

Use once a month, or whenever your hair feels heavy and unresponsive. Apply to wet hair, lather thoroughly from scalp to ends, and rinse completely. Follow with a deeply conditioning treatment like the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque since clarifying can temporarily leave hair feeling a little dry. Do not use as your everyday shampoo.

Pro Tip From Our Stylists

If you use dry shampoo regularly, you need this more than you think. Dry shampoo absorbs oil but it does not go anywhere; it builds up on the scalp and can block the follicle over time. Using Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash once or twice a month keeps your scalp clean, your follicles clear, and your hair performing at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use it?
Once a month is the general guideline, but if you use a lot of styling products or dry shampoo, every 2 to 3 weeks is fine. Do not use it every wash, as it is more concentrated than a daily shampoo.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?
It can cause some temporary color fading, which is normal for a clarifying shampoo. Use it sparingly and follow up with a deep conditioner. Most people find the scalp health benefit is worth it.

My hair feels dry after using it. Is that normal?
Yes. Clarifying shampoos are thorough cleaners, which means they can temporarily strip more moisture than a gentle shampoo. Always follow with a rich conditioner or masque.

Can I use it on the scalp only?
Yes, if your primary concern is scalp buildup, you can focus application on the roots and scalp and let the rinse-off water clean the lengths.
