💡 The quick answer
What is GoCare? A professional hair care range of shampoos, treatments, leave-ins and styling products, made for salons and sized for the backwash.
Why salons choose it: a sulphate-free shampoo that is gentle on colour, a treatment that works in one minute, and 1L pump bottles that keep the cost per wash low.
The hero pair: GoCare Sulphate-Free Shampoo and GoCare One Minute Treatment are among the most popular hair care products at Lime Light.
Backbar and retail: use the 1L at the basin and sell the 400ml so clients can recreate the result at home.
Where to buy: online at limelighthb.co.za or at the Lime Light Super Store in Sandton.
What is GoCare?
GoCare is a professional hair care range built around one simple idea: salon-quality care that is quick to use and easy to sell. The range covers the full backwash journey, from cleansing to treating, protecting and styling, in a recognisable olive and gold bottle that looks at home on any salon shelf.
| Step | GoCare products | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cleanse | Sulphate-Free Shampoo, Refreshing & Ultra Rich Shampoo | Gentle cleansing, colour care and daily moisture |
| 2. Treat | One Minute Treatment, Keratin Hair Masque | Fast moisture and repair, deep keratin conditioning |
| 3. Protect | Vitamin Repair Spray, Keratin + Silk PPT Leave-In Cream | Detangles, smooths frizz, adds shine |
| 4. Style | Matte Look Power Molding Clay, Hair Styling Wax | Hold, texture and finish |
Why use a sulphate-free shampoo in the salon?
Sulphates create a big lather, but they can strip natural oils and fade colour faster. GoCare Sulphate-Free Shampoo gently cleanses and helps protect colour, which makes it a safe choice for every client in the chair, whether they have just had a colour, a keratin treatment or simply want soft, healthy hair.
For clients with dry or thirsty hair who want extra nourishment, GoCare Refreshing & Ultra Rich Shampoo cleanses, nourishes and delivers daily moisture. Both come in a 1000ml pump bottle for the basin and a 400ml size for retail.
What does the GoCare One Minute Treatment do?
GoCare One Minute Treatment is a fast-acting deep-conditioning mask for dry, damaged or chemically treated hair. It replenishes moisture, smooths the cuticle and tames frizz without weighing hair down, and it does it in just 60 seconds. That makes it the easiest treatment add-on in the salon: no extra chair time, no processing wait, just softer, shinier hair at the basin.
Need a deeper treatment? GoCare Keratin Hair Masque 500ml is enriched with keratin protein to rebuild strength, smooth the cuticle and leave chemically treated hair hydrated and glossy. Use it as a weekly treatment or a premium add-on service.
Which GoCare leave-in should I use?
Leave-ins finish the treatment in the chair and protect the hair between visits:
- GoCare Vitamin Repair Spray 250ml: a lightweight leave-in spray with vitamins and conditioning agents. It detangles, smooths frizz, restores moisture and adds shine without weighing hair down. Perfect before blow-drying.
- GoCare Keratin + Silk Repair PPT Leave-In Cream 100ml: a nourishing leave-in cream for smooth, healthy-looking hair. Work a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends.
How do I use GoCare at the backwash?
Here is a simple four-step GoCare service that fits into any appointment:
- Cleanse: Apply GoCare Sulphate-Free Shampoo to wet hair, massage into the scalp and rinse. Repeat for a thorough clean.
- Treat: Squeeze out excess water, apply GoCare One Minute Treatment from mid-lengths to ends, comb through, leave for 60 seconds and rinse.
- Protect: Towel dry and mist GoCare Vitamin Repair Spray through the lengths, or smooth in the Keratin + Silk PPT Cream.
- Style: Blow-dry, then finish with GoCare Matte Look Clay or Hair Styling Wax for shorter cuts.
Which GoCare product is right for my client?
| Hair type or need | GoCare recommendation |
|---|---|
| Colour-treated hair | Sulphate-Free Shampoo + One Minute Treatment |
| Dry or thirsty hair | Refreshing & Ultra Rich Shampoo + Keratin Hair Masque |
| Frizzy or tangled hair | Vitamin Repair Spray on damp lengths |
| Chemically treated or damaged hair | Keratin Hair Masque + Keratin + Silk PPT Leave-In Cream |
Does GoCare have styling products?
Yes. GoCare Matte Look Power Molding Clay 120ml gives a strong, pliable hold with a modern matte finish, ideal for short to medium hair. GoCare Hair Styling Wax 90g offers a flexible, long-lasting hold you can rework through the day, for anything from sleek structured looks to messy texture. Both wash out easily.
Should my salon buy the 1L or the 400ml?
Both. The 1000ml pump bottles belong at the backwash: they keep the cost per wash low and are always ready at the basin. The 400ml bottles belong at reception, so every client can take home the exact product they felt in the chair.
