FAQs
Does curly hair need special shampoo?
Curly hair does need shampoo specifically formulated for its unique needs. Since curly hair tends to be drier due to the loss of natural oils, shampoos that are gentle and hydrating are needed to add moisture back into the hair strands. Ingredients rich in proteins and vitamin B are essential for curly health and longevity.
What is the best shampoo for frizzy curly hair?
The best shampoo for curly, frizzy hair will be sulfate and paraben-free, with naturally derived ingredients. Look for ingredients that won’t strip the hair of natural oils, will improve hair elasticity, and promote continuous hydration. Shampoos that cleanse the scalp and hair strands while remaining gentle without compromising the curl structure are ideal for cleansing and maintaining frizzy curls.
How often should curly hair be washed?
Wash day should happen at least 2-3 times a week depending on your curl texture, lifestyle, and environmental factors. For finer and/or tighter curls, wash the hair every 3 days to ensure product buildup is removed and hydration is added back to the hair. For looser curls and waves or hair with an oilier scalp, you may consider washing more often if you feel it’s needed. Regardless of texture, if you sweat more, live in a drier or colder environment, or are exposed to smoke and air pollution often, you can adjust how long to go between washes.
How do I choose shampoo for curly hair?
Choosing the right shampoo for your curly hair will depend on your curly texture, lifestyle, and your unique hair needs. For damaged curls and curls more prone to breakage, a shampoo that includes hydrating butters or oils can help prevent frizz and promote softness and shine. For finer curls or looser patterns, choose a shampoo that won’t weigh down your hair or make it more oily. If you have an active lifestyle and sweat more often on your scalp or if you use a lot of hair gels, creams, or other styling products, choose a detox or clarifying shampoo to use 1-2 times a month to deeply clean your hair and scalp.
How do I use shampoo for curly hair?
Washing curly hair takes a bit of extra care and intention to prevent breakage and to make sure each strand is cleansed. For longer and/or thicker hair, start by completely soaking your hair with water. Once hair is drenched, split hair into 2-4 sections and begin shampooing each section by gently using the fingertips to scrub the scalp. Move the shampoo down the hair shafts and then rinse thoroughly and repeat as needed. Shorter curlies can follow the same process, without the need to section.

Unlike straight hair follicles, a spiral-shaped strand is more likely to have open cuticles, which allows moisture to seep out and damaging elements to get in.
