How long does it take for Fortero products to arrive?

In order to safely and soundly deliver your order, in-stock products are normally shipped within 2 business days after you place your order. It usually takes an additional 2-7 business days for you to receive the package, depending upon the destination. We promise to deliver your order as soon as possible, but due to the packaging requirements necessary to maintain the extremely high carbon dioxide concentration of 8,000 ppm, we use an “aerosol can” to contain the shampoo. Unlike normal plastic containers, this is classified as “dangerous goods,” therefore it can only be shipped by land transport. For this reason, delivery times may vary by season and can be longer.

How Fortero Works

What is carbonic acid shampoo?

The carbonic acid shampoo is an excellent product that has the ability to get rid of all the clogging agents typically found on the surface of the scalp, due to oil, dirt, and pollution to name a few. The carbonic acid shampoo improves blood circulation and keeps your scalp clean and nourished – all while bringing dead pores back to life. In short, it creates the perfect environment for healthy hair growth. 

Are there any side effects?

No. There are no known side effects. There is no prescription required and it is a natural source formula!

How to use carbonic acid shampoo and conditioner?

CARBONIC ACID SHAMPOO (Use Daily)

Step 1: Wash with lukewarm water
First, wet all your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water to rinse the surface dirt out of your hair. This will help remove some of the dirt!

Step 2: Apply Fortero Carbonic Acid Shampoo
This is where Fortero comes into action! Make sure you give it a good shake before you use it! After shaking, hold the bottle upward, and put some foam on your hands – about the size of two golf balls. This amount should be enough to remove dirt!

Step 3: Gently wash your scalp
This is the most important part! Gently massage your scalp with Fortero's super dense foam and then wash it off. This will allow the foam to penetrate deep into your pores and remove all the dirt! Finally, rinse the foam off thoroughly with lukewarm water and you're good to go!

CONDITIONER (Use Daily)

Step 1: Apply Fortero Conditioner.
Pour a bit of conditioner into the palm of your hand – a dime-sized amount is usually recommended. Run this through the mid-shafts of your hair, trying to apply it to every strand that you’re able. Work the conditioner toward the ends of your hair, as this is the part that is damaged!

Step 2: Let the conditioner set
This step is slightly optional; the longer you wait and allow your conditioner to set, the more it will be able to do to improve the health of your hair. If you’re in a rush, you can rinse it out nearly immediately after, but it won’t make your hair as soft and shiny as it normally would.

Step 3: Rinse out the conditioner
Spend a few minutes rinsing out the conditioner with lukewarm water; if your hair still feels ‘slimy’, then you haven’t gotten it all out. When your hair is smooth and no longer feels super slippery, then you’re set!

How often should I wash my hair?

Your hair washing routine should be closely related to your hair type, greasiness, sebum level, and even environmental conditions. However, when using HAIRICHE Scalp Essence, it’s recommended to wash your hair every day. HAIRICHE should be applied on a clean scalp to work properly. 

What hair type is Fortero for?

We have formulated our shampoos and conditioners for all hair types! And our shampoos and conditioners are free of harmful chemicals, so there is no need to worry about side effects.

How long will my products last

The shampoo holds 5.3 oz of product. And the conditioner contains 4.2 oz of product. If you are washing your hair every day, the shampoo and conditioner should last you approximately one month.

Can women use carbonic acid shampoo?

The carbonic acid shampoo is suitable for both men and women, as it acts as an effective means to prevent hair aging and repair damaged and chemically-treated hair. The carbonic acid shampoo is suitable for all hair types. It can unclog pores, clean the scalp efficiently, lessen excess sebum production, promote hair growth, improve the texture, and retain moisture keep the hair healthy and glossy.
