Our Take

A gentle, low-lather creamy shampoo that cleanses curly, very curly, and coily hair without removing natural oils. The Manuka Honey and ceramide complex hydrates while cleansing — a better balance than most shampoos for textured hair. Sulphate-free, which is non-negotiable for curly hair. The formula contains amodimethicone, so strict CGM followers should check the ingredient list before committing. Paired with the Fondant or Masque, this is a solid foundation for the Curl Manifesto routine. Protein-free.
