Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash
A deeply hydrating Kevin Murphy shampoo for dry, dehydrated and parched hair — packed with antioxidant-rich natural extracts and nourishing oils to replenish essential moisture, restore a healthy glow and leave hair feeling soft, smooth and supple from the first wash.
The Moda Team Review: Moisture at the Foundation, Not Just the Surface
Hair that feels dry is not just lacking product — it is lacking water-retaining capacity at the fibre level. When the cuticle is lifted or damaged, the hair cannot hold moisture effectively regardless of how much conditioner is applied after the fact. Hydrate Me Wash addresses this at the cleanse step: the gentle sulfate-free formula delivers antioxidant goodness and nourishing oils into the hair during the wash itself, building the moisture baseline before the conditioner even touches it.
The result is hair that comes out of the shower noticeably softer and more supple than it went in — a distinct difference from shampoos that strip and leave the moisture work entirely to the conditioner. Ideal for hair that is naturally dry, exposed to harsh or dry climates, colour-treated, or regularly blow-dried — conditions that all accelerate moisture loss from the hair fibre. Used consistently with Hydrate Me Rinse, the regimen transforms parched, dull hair into hydrated, luminous locks with lasting suppleness.
Key Active Ingredients
Antioxidant-Rich Plant Extracts + Nourishing Oils + Hydrating Complex — Antioxidant botanical complex protects hair from environmental oxidative damage that accelerates dryness and dullness. Nourishing plant oils replenish essential fatty acids the hair loses through heat styling, colour processing and environmental exposure. Gentle sulfate-free cleansing system removes impurities without stripping moisture. Sulfate-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply to soaking wet hair — the wetter the hair when the shampoo goes on, the better the antioxidant-rich botanical complex distributes and penetrates before the cleansing agents activate. Leave the shampoo on for 60 seconds before rinsing. Follow with Hydrate Me Rinse and add Untangled leave-in to damp ends for the complete Kevin Murphy Hydrate regimen.
How To Use

- Leave on for 60 seconds for best hydration results.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with Hydrate Me Rinse for the complete moisturising routine.
- Add Untangled to damp ends before styling for extra slip and hydration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hair type is Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash best for?
Yes — dry, dehydrated, parched or dull hair that lacks moisture and feels rough or brittle through the mid-lengths and ends. It is ideal for naturally dry hair, hair exposed to harsh or dry climates, colour-treated hair, and hair that is blow-dried frequently.
What is the difference between Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash and Smooth Again Wash?
Yes — Hydrate Me Wash targets moisture replenishment for hair that feels dry and parched, with an antioxidant botanical complex focused on water retention. Smooth Again Wash targets frizz and structural smoothing for thick, coarse hair with Keratin Protein and smoothing butters. If the primary concern is dryness, choose Hydrate Me; if it is frizz and texture, choose Smooth Again.
Is Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash sulfate-free?
Yes — the gentle sulfate-free formula removes impurities and buildup without stripping the natural oils that dry hair depends on for moisture and manageability.
Can I use Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Wash on colour-treated hair?
Yes — it is colour-safe and particularly beneficial for colour-treated hair, which is more prone to dryness because chemical processing opens the cuticle and accelerates moisture loss between appointments.
What is the complete Kevin Murphy Hydrate regimen?
Yes — Hydrate Me Wash + Hydrate Me Rinse at every wash, Hydrate Me Masque once weekly in place of the Rinse for intensive moisture restoration, and Untangled applied to damp ends before styling for ongoing moisture support and detangling through the week.
