With hundreds of options, searching for your perfect shampoo and conditioner can leave you feeling …..lost. Especially with curly hair.

Moisture is key

Naturally curly hair tends to dry out very quickly so it’s important to have a shampoo/conditioner routine that are very hydrating.

Mix it up

Don’t just rely on one combo of shampoo and conditioner for your curly hair. Having different combinations of shampoo and conditioners will maintain moisturized curls, especially throughout the seasons. It also prevents your hair from becoming to accustomed to your products.

Sulfate-free works wonders

Sodium lauryl sulfate is a key ingredient found in most shampoos which causes the lather when washing your hair. A lot of shampoos are now sulfate-free which is ideal for curly hair because it prevents dryness caused from this ingredient. The DevaCurl No-Poo Shampoo is one of my top recommended sulfate-free shampoos.

Use salon quality products
