This shampoo uses micellar technology to deeply cleanse your hair without stripping it of its essential moisture. The liquid formula makes it easy to cover every inch of your hair and scalp, and transforms into a gentle foam that lifts away dirt and buildup. Pair it with the unique jelly-to-cream textured conditioner that locks in moisture to nourish your hair. This duo is best for 3A to 4C curl patterns.
