Provides intensive conditioning – HYDRATE-ME.RINSE delivers an essential moisture boost while helping smooth and soften dry, brittle hair.

Boosts shine – The HYDRATE-ME system uses antioxidant-rich ingredients to help restore a healthy-looking glow to dull, dehydrated hair.

Smooths dry and frizz-prone hair – Hydrating and conditioning ingredients help improve smoothness and create a softer, silkier finish.

Protects against heat up to 232°C – HEATED.DEFENSE provides lightweight thermal protection before heated and mechanical styling.

Helps protect dry hair from further styling stress – Particularly useful when already-dehydrated hair is regularly exposed to hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons or other hot tools.

What Is It?

KEVIN MURPHY Hydration Shield Ritual is a three-step routine designed around an important problem for dry hair:

How do you replenish lost moisture while protecting dehydrated hair from the additional stress of heat styling?

The answer is a combination of hydration, conditioning and thermal protection.

HYDRATE-ME.WASH provides the moisture-focused cleansing step.

HYDRATE-ME.RINSE deeply conditions, smooths and helps replenish dry, parched lengths.

HEATED.DEFENSE provides the protective styling step, helping shield the hair before exposure to heat.

Together, the ritual creates:

Cleanse → Hydrate → Smooth → Protect
