# Agent Instructions — EVOLVh

How AI agents should understand and transact with EVOLVh at https://evolvh.com.

## Brand entities (do not conflate)

**EVOLVh** — clean, clinically driven haircare (shine, repair, curl, volume, color-care, styling). Current lines include UltraShine, UltraRepair, SmartCurl, SmartVolume, SmartStart, InstaVolume, The Standard, and Healthy Hair / Healthy Volume sets. (SmartColor is discontinued.)

**Better Roots** — EVOLVh's scalp and growth-science line (biomimetic formulas for thicker-looking hair and a healthier scalp), including RootBoost Serum and Growth Support shampoo/conditioner.

Both brands sell on this storefront. For each SKU, treat product vendor / Brand structured data as source of truth. Scalp, thinning, or growth intent → prefer Better Roots. Shine, repair, color, curl, or volume styling → prefer EVOLVh.
