What is Curl Shampoo?

Curl Shampoo is a creamy, rich low-lather shampoo that is the first step to healthy curls. Infused with our Healthy Curl Complex, it gently cleanses without stripping while providing superior slip for weightless detangling, leaving you with stronger, more defined curls.

Who is curl shampoo for?

Curl Shampoo was designed to work on across all hair textures types – wavy, curly and coily.

How do you use Curl Shampoo?

Apply to wet hair. Massage at scalp & work into lather. Use the rich lather to begin the detangling process if desired. Rinse. Follow with Curl Conditioner.

Can the Curl Shampoo & Conditioner be used alone for good results, or is it necessary to also use a Curl styler?

Yes, you can use Curl Shampoo & Conditioner alone and get good results, it really depends on the style you are looking to create and what your hair needs.

Should you comb through your curls before using Curl Shampoo & Conditioner?

If you have a strong curl pattern, dry detangling prior to cleansing and conditioning may be helpful for you to work the care products throughout your hair easily when wet.

Is it recommended to comb hair after using Curl Shampoo & Conditioner in the shower?

The Curl shampoo & conditioner were designed for the curl consumer to keep to their curl routine. If you typically comb in the shower, you should continue to do so. Detangling and forming your curls in the shower, will deliver the best results when styling post shower.

Will I still need to detangle my hair after using the Curl Shampoo & Conditioner? If yes, what do we recommend using for detangling?

Depending on your hair type, you may need to detangle your hair after using Curl Shampoo & Conditioner. If you need a detangler, Restore Perfecting Spray will help detangle and provide leave in detangler.

To get curl definition with the Curl Shampoo & Conditioner, should I shape them with my hands in the shower and/or after?

All curl patterns require different types of styling support! Weaker curl patterns may require scrunching your curls to form curl groupings while stronger textures maybe require a comb/brush to start forming curl grouping in the shower. Using Curl Conditioner for any type of styling techniques in the shower, will make it a lot easier to work with. After forming any type of in shower curl styling with rinse out products, follow with a soft rinse (low pressure) to not disturb your curl pattern.

What is the benefit of using a Shampoo over a Co-Wash?

Co-washes do not have a surfactant system that will properly cleanse the scalp and hair. Incorporating a shampoo into a curl routine, will help keep the scalp and hair healthy.

We used to offer a Co-Wash, why did we change to a Shampoo & Conditioner?

Our new Curl Shampoo & Conditioner were formulated for all curl types to have proper curl care. After an extensive amount of consumer research, it was apparent that a co-wash was not the most effective for the majority of curl types based on product usage, curl habits and needs.

Reviews

1 Year in and Worth the Investment!

"I had 2Cish curly hair in my early early 20s that gradually transformed into waves. These products were a splurge for me but I was willing to try them if they helped me get my curls back. I have been using the shampoo, conditioner, and curl definer almost exclusively for a year and am delighted with the results! My expectations were exceeded. Starting with chin length hair, my 12oz bottles lasted exactly a year. The before and after photos were taken about a year apart, but I saw improvements to my curls from the first washes."

— Jessica M. (5/5)

Simply the best conditioner I've used.

"Hair feels soft & moisturized. Curls are shiny & bouncy. No frizz at all, no matter the weather. Nice, soft scent that doesn't fight with any fragrance that I'm wearing."

— Kimberly B. (5/5)
