Our Take

A children's shampoo formulated for gentle, tearless cleansing on naturally curly and coily hair. Designed to clean without stripping — preserving the natural moisture that young curly hair needs. Free from the harsh sulphates, parabens, and silicones that are particularly problematic for delicate scalps. Part of a three-step kids' system alongside the Born Curly Leave-In and Curl Defining Jelly. Suitable for babies and toddlers with curly hair as well as older children.

How to Use

Wet your child's hair thoroughly. Apply a small amount and massage gently — a little goes a long way on young hair. Rinse completely. Avoid getting product in eyes; if this happens, rinse immediately with water. Follow with the Born Curly Leave-In for easier detangling.
