Pomegranate & Honey Detangling Shampoo

Type 4-focused sulphate-free shampoo with award-winning detangling formula

✓CGM ApprovedPomegranate & HoneyContains ProteinStep: Cleanse

Our Take

A 2022 Cosmopolitan Readers' Choice Beauty Award winner, this sulphate-free shampoo from the Pomegranate & Honey range is engineered around the specific challenges of thick, Type 4 coily hair (3c–4c) — primarily the severe tangling that can occur during the washing process. Honey and babassu oil maintain moisture during cleansing while providing the slip needed to loosen knots before rinsing, reducing mechanical damage during what is often the most breakage-prone step of the routine. Contains hydrolyzed silk and wheat protein, making it a strengthening as well as a detangling wash. Lathers well for a sulphate-free formula.
