What is a curl shampoo?
Curly shampoo is designed to wash and care for curly hair without drying it out and damaging it. Curly hair is naturally more sensitive and needs more hydration because the curls make it harder for the oils from the scalp to flow through the hair. This increases the chance of dehydration and frizz.
Shampoos for curls often consist of mild cleansers and are often free of harmful substances such as sulphates, silicones and parabens. These ingredients can weigh curls down and disrupt the natural moisture balance. With a curl shampoo you clean your hair without damage and nourish it at the same time.
You can choose from protein or protein-free shampoos , depending on what your curls need.

Good shampoo for curls: tips for the right choice
Choosing the right shampoo for your curls starts with understanding your hair's needs. Here are a few tips:
-
Be aware of product buildup . Use a clarifying shampoo regularly to thoroughly cleanse your hair and remove product residue
-
Determine if your hair needs protein . Does your hair have little elasticity or is it prone to breakage? Then choose a shampoo with protein . However, if your hair is sensitive to protein, then a shampoo without protein is a better choice.
-
Hydration is key. Some curls need more hydration than others. Make sure your shampoo contains enough moisturizing ingredients to prevent dryness.
-
Tune into your lifestyle. We advise you to wash your hair about once a week. Are you looking for something to use between washes? Then a dry shampoo can be a handy solution. But be careful, don't use this too often either.
By following these guidelines and experimenting with different products, you'll find the perfect shampoo for radiant curls.
