Is the Curl Cleanse Shampoo safe for color and chemically treated hair?
Yes. Our Cleanse Shampoo is made without harsh ingredients, including detergents and sulfates. It will not strip color
from your hair or interfere with chemical treatments, such as keratin, brazilian blowouts, or straighteners.
Why doesn’t the Curl Cleanse Shampoo foam?
The Cleanse Shampoo is a creamy, concentrated blend of nutrients. It needs to be activated by mixing water in your hands
to create a silky lather before applying it to the scalp. The more you can work up a lather, the better it will cleanse.
How often should I use the Curl Cleanse Shampoo?
Whatever feels right for you. Contrary to popular belief, it’s healthier to cleanse your scalp more often than not, but
only if using gentle products that won’t strip essential moisture, color, or chemical processing.
Our Curl Cleanse Shampoo was designed to suit any lifestyle and routine, so you can safely cleanse as often as you want
or need.
Will the Restorative Hair Mask weigh down fine or thin hair?
No. While it is a deeply hydrating treatment, the mask rinses off easily, leaving all hair types silky soft without
added weight.
Does the Restorative Hair Mask contain silicones?
No. The Restorative Hair Mask is made of plant-based fatty acids and glycerin that attract and retain lasting hydration
without added weight or residue.
Many masks create the illusion of smoothness by using silicones, which form a waterproof seal around the hair to block
out humidity. These seals build upon each other with continued use, weighing the hair down and making it increasingly
difficult to receive moisture, creating flat and brittle hair.
