Our Take
A sulphate-free shampoo designed for curlies who are actively working on growing their hair longer. Formulated with Pomegranate and Passion Fruit, Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Keratin, and Hydrolyzed Keratin to strengthen the hair shaft and reduce the breakage that prevents retention. Protein-containing — if your hair is protein-sensitive, rotate with a protein-free shampoo. Particularly relevant for 3c–4c patterns where retention is often the main barrier to length.

How to Use
Wet hair thoroughly. Apply to scalp and lengths, massage to lather, and leave for 2–3 minutes before rinsing. Follow with the Long & Luxe Conditioner. Focus on thorough detangling during the wash step — this is where most length is lost — to minimise breakage.
