Some shampoos treat the scalp like a crime scene: scrub hard, strip everything, leave the hair squeaking in protest. Deep muk Ultra Soft Shampoo takes the diplomatic approach — and in a litre, it keeps taking it for months.
TL;DR: A gentle, everyday shampoo that cleanses without stripping, detangles while it lathers, and puts moisture and nutrients back into dry, brittle or chemically treated hair. The formula is protein-free, so it plays beautifully with curls and bonded extensions, and it finishes with a gardenia fragrance. The 1 litre is the salon-size bottle that quietly outlasts every 300ml on the shelf.
Product Details and Benefits
- Gentle cleansing. Lifts away oil, product and daily grime without the stripped, squeaky aftermath that leaves hair rough and thirsty.
- Detangles in the lather. Knots start loosening before the conditioner is even open, which makes the whole wash quicker and far less brutal on the lengths.
- Restores what's missing. Replaces lost nutrients and moisture as it cleanses, so hair comes out nourished instead of merely clean.
- Smoothing and frizz control. Leaves hair silky soft and shiny, with the halo of flyaways noticeably calmer.
- Protein-free formula. Contains no protein, making it ideal for curly hair and hair extensions — and a sensible choice for anyone whose hair has had its fill of protein-heavy treatments.
- Extension-friendly. Suitable for all hair types, including hair extensions.
- Everyday gentle. Mild enough for daily washing, not just the occasional deep clean.
- All types, all colours. Curly, wavy, frizzy or straight. Coloured, blonde, grey or untouched. Dry, brittle and chemically treated hair all welcome.
- Inside the bottle. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) conditions and helps hold moisture, dimethicone and dimethiconol add smoothness and slip, and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride does the detangling groundwork alongside mild co-surfactants including cocamidopropyl betaine.
- The scent. Gardenia — soft, floral and a genuine reason to linger under the water.
- The size. A 1 litre basin bottle from muk: an Australian-owned brand that is vegan, cruelty free and not tested on animals.
How to Use
- Saturate the hair properly with warm water. Under-wet hair is why lather never seems to arrive.
- Dispense one to two pumps' worth into the palm.
- Massage into the roots with the fingertips, covering the whole scalp — fingertips, not nails.
- Work the lather down through to the ends.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then repeat if the hair is especially dirty or product-heavy.
- Squeeze out the excess water and follow with Deep muk Ultra Soft Conditioner.
Pro tip: If hair has turned stiff, straw-like and strangely brittle after a stretch of protein-rich treatments, this is the wash to switch to. The formula contains no protein, so it cleanses without adding to the pile-up and gives moisture a clear run back into the hair.
Why You'll Love It
Clean hair shouldn't feel like a punishment. This one washes gently, detangles early, restores what daily life keeps stripping out, and does it in a litre that keeps going long after the little bottles have given up. Add it to your cart and make wash day the easy part.
