Hydrating Hair Cleanser

Low-foam sulphate-free shampoo for oily scalps and fine curls

✓CGM ApprovedProtein-FreeStep: Cleanse

Our Take

A low-foaming sulphate-free shampoo for curlies who prefer a traditional wash-day lather but don't want the drying effects of harsh surfactants. Lighter than the Curl Cleanser co-wash — better suited to fine hair, oily scalps, or wavies (2a–3b) who find co-washing too heavy. Cleanses thoroughly without leaving residue. A good choice if you live in a hard water area and need a proper shampoo to cut through mineral buildup, or if your scalp tends towards oiliness between washes.
