Full Description

Everyday life—sweat, oil, and product residue—can leave your curls weighed down and lifeless. Even water-soluble products can leave behind stubborn buildup that co-washing alone can't tackle. That’s where our Detox Build-Up Shampoo comes in.

Formulated specifically for waves + curls, this lightweight cleanser gently removes buildup while preserving essential moisture, tackling wet frizz, and restoring vibrancy to heavy or dull hair. Infused with natural lavender and geranium oils, it transforms every washday into a soothing spa-like ritual.

Say goodbye to over-conditioned curls and hello to fresh, weightless hair that feels product-free and looks its absolute best.

Scent

Lavender + geranium — calming, clean and spa-like.
Your new calming treatment ritual.

Why You’ll Love It

For: Anyone whose curls feel heavy, coated, oily at the roots or slow to respond to products.
Not for: Those who avoid essential oils (this product is naturally scented with lavender + geranium).

Use it every few washes to keep curls weightless and responsive. It prevents the “over-conditioned” feel, reduces wet frizz, and helps your routine work harder with less product.
