hair wash

Lathering your locks

A hair wash is the act of washing one's hair, or a product used for that purpose—essentially a synonym for shampoo.

The term appears in contexts where shampoo sounds too commercial or specific: I need a quick hair wash before we go.

In salon settings, a hair wash may refer to the service itself, distinct from cutting or styling.
