This is how we actually use S-7 and No.215 in the salon — wash, then finish — and it's the simplest way to start with Hair Caffe Lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/s-7-daily-shampoo-travel-size-3-4-fl-oz-100-ml\"\u003eS-7 Daily Shampoo — Travel Size\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (3.4 fl oz \/ 100 mL). The full formula, not a thinner sample version. At 100 mL it's the largest bottle you can carry through airport security, and enough for a week or two of real, everyday washing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/no-215-leave-in-treatment-mist\"\u003eNo.215 Leave-In Treatment Mist\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (4 fl oz \/ 118 mL). A water-free oil mist with a little more weight than No.115 — made for hair that is stiff, thick, or simply won't cooperate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep 1 — Wash with S-7\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply to wet hair, massage into a lather, and rinse thoroughly. S-7 is a sulfate-free daily shampoo built around the reality of washing five to seven times a week, and formulated without cocamidopropyl betaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep 2 — Finish with No.215, before you dry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTowel-dry, then spray No.215 generously through wet hair — root to ends, not just the ends. \u003cstrong\u003eWait about four minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e, then blow-dry and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four minutes matter. Give the product a moment to settle through the hair before heat goes anywhere near it, rather than drying immediately after you spray. If your ends are especially dry, add a little more through the mid-lengths partway through drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn dry hair, for shine at the end of the day: use less, or spray once into your hands and work it through with your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you need a conditioner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hair hasn't been color-treated, permed, or straightened, we don't think you need a rinse-out conditioner after S-7. Healthy, unprocessed hair usually has enough of its own cuticle intact that a rinse-out conditioner mostly adds weight — and it gets rinsed away a minute later anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we'd suggest instead is Step 2 above. A leave-in does its work where it actually matters: while you're applying heat, and for the rest of the day after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hair is chemically treated, very long, coarse or tightly curled, or simply feels tangled after rinsing, keep your rinse-out conditioner. This isn't a rule — it's a starting point. No.215 sits comfortably alongside one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy No.215 in this set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo.215 is the richer of our two leave-ins. Same idea as No.115 — a water-free oil mist, no alcohol, no added fragrance — but with slightly more of the non-volatile silicone that stays behind, which is what gives it a more polished, more supple finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe reach for it when hair is thick, wiry, or too straight to fall the way someone wants it to, and when humidity is the real problem: hair that expands, loses its shape, and stops being predictable partway through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also what we recommend before a flat iron, and as home care after a relaxer or a chemical straightening service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hair is fine to normal, or you've been disappointed by oils that looked good for an hour and then went flat, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/2-step-starter-set-s7-no115\"\u003ethe No.115 version of this set\u003c\/a\u003e is the better match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this set is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYour hair is stiff, thick, or hard to control, and you wash it most days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrizz and humidity are the recurring problem, not dryness alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou've had straightening or a relaxer and want to hold that result at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou already use No.215 and want to try the shampoo it was designed to sit alongside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on your shower floor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS-7 can leave a slippery film on shower floors and tubs. Clean the floor with soap after use — rinsing with water alone won't remove it, and the film becomes slippery again the next time the floor gets wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen the travel bottle runs out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/s-7-daily-shampoo\"\u003eStandard Size (16 fl oz \/ 473 mL)\u003c\/a\u003e is in its final packaging stage.
