20 Best Shampoo For Curly Hair South Africa (2023 Updated)

Follow for follow. Lets help each other out! I have a super thick and wavy crazy pixie that is growing out. I purchased this pattern conditioner and use it as a leave in. It is amazing. My hair is not only super soft, but it calms frizz.

I use this more than any other product I have. If you use it on wet hair, you will get that semi wet look when it dries. But you can just pull it apart to have nice waves or curls. The scent is nice and not over powering.

It is safe for people with migraines. Pick this up today you will love it.

First off I love Kerastase hair products. However I have wasted money accidentally purchasing shampoos by them containing sulfates so this shampoo made me happy and as an added bonus, this is formulated for curly hair! I have no idea what type of hair I have but it’s basically wavy and frizzy not coiled curly but curly wavy if that makes any sense? I have not used this shampoo without using the conditioner that goes along with it so I can’t speak to how this works without it but I feel like a hair care works best when they are paired with their are complementing product and for my hair the shampoo along side the conditioner works really well.

My hair is soft it smells great and unlike some sulfate free shampoos the stuff lathers is up really well in the shower! so for me this is a five-star product and I have nothing bad to say about it. I don’t use curl enhancing products to actually enhance my curls I use them to hydrate because I tend to blow dry my hair straight so again can’t speak to how well it’s curling my hair but I can tell you that my hair definitely feels more hydrated and the more hydrated your hair is the more your curls will bounce and shine and look pretty.

I did receive this shampoo as part of a promotion so it was free but these are my actual results it’s not like your product will be confiscated unless you give it a five star review lol.

I am in my mid forties, with hair down halfway down my thighs with ballayage. Hair has gt some greys, is fine-ish in texture with a clump at the crown that is coarse. Knots and breaks easily. I tried the keratase gel cream a few times.

It didn’t do anything on dry hair apart from smelling absolutely divine. I then tried to dampen the dry hair to see if that would work but my fingers felt sticky icky. I then tried it on damp hair a few times and let it naturally dry.

Scrunching it to get better curls. My hair simply looked like wurzel gummidge on a really really bad hair day on the 1st time on damp hair. You know the look like you’ve been through a tornado a couple of times.

Now when I put my hair in a bun it usually clumps together just below the neck like extinct creatures are harbouring in it somewhere. I did find that after I washed it 3rd time this didn’t happen, the hair was a little smoother to but fizzing was more than usual.

3rd time of application I got all the excess water out and applied on wet hair and again let it dry naturally. Results were better no grenade gone off disaster in the hair. Did the Scrunching as it was drying but I was left with more of a wavy look than curls, so maybe it relaxed my curls more than they should.

However it did make a difference to the breakage and falling out of my hair. Still went back to being frizzy after a few hours of application. Not as much knotting and clumping pre use. This didn’t work for me maybe it may work for others.

I will still be using it as it does have some benefits and see if there are any further benefits or results. I did have to use a lot of it due to the length of my hair. Everyone’s hair is different not everyone has the same hair texture etc as me, so it may work well for others.

I’ve asked a few friends to try it and it seems to work well on shorter hair styles.

I received a free sample of this to try and review. My hair has a curl when air-dried, so I was hoping this would be a better alternative to using gel and a diffuser for volume. I tried this three different ways.

I used this as an add-on to my dry hair that was curly first. It made my hair seem oily, so I definitely wouldn’t use it that way, even though the curls stayed. The second way I used it was adding it to damp hair and letting my hair air dry.

This actually loosened my curls and left them less defined, which I didn’t like. They did stay the same all day, and the smell was nice. No oily feeling and probably the best way of using it. The last way was using my diffuser after applying this to damp hair.

I lost almost all of the curl with this product in when I used the diffuser. I’d say if you add this to damp hair and let it airdry, it will give you the best results. I prefer the way my hair looks with a mousse more than this for sure.

It may work better only very curly hair.

I fell in love with this shampoo/conditioner last year and was so excited to see these jumbo bottles available. Unfortunately, the quality of this product is NOT the same as the smaller bottles I was using last year.

My hair was completely dry, tangled and breaking. I thought it was just me, but I noticed that some other reviewers mentioned this too. I was so disappointed, because this was my holy grail shampoo. There was no way I could keep using this set based on how dry my hair was getting.

I returned it and then re-purchased the smaller bottles. Like magic, the new smaller bottles I purchased gave me smooth and tamed hair compared to this jumbo set. Still love this brand and will keep purchasing, but beware of the quality of this set.

Also, the pumps were faulty and my boyfriend helped me get them to work. Small burden compared to the poor quality of this set.

Ok, so I’ve had my hair box dyed and professionally highlighted on and off for the past 3 years, so to say my hair is damaged is an understatement. Before Moroccan Oil, I was using Olaplex and IGX Good Behavior spray to keep my hair frizz free and soft.

I had some MO Light and fell in love with the smell, so decided to try the shampoo and conditioner. WOW! Seriously… WOW! I’ve only used the Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner one time last night, finishing up with MO Light and let it air dry.

Then this morning, I straightened my hair and finished with MO Light again. My hair has never been softer and I was pleasantly surprised to see how I have next to no frizz!!! I’ll forever be a MO customer… The smell and the results are unmatched!.

The shampoo and conditioner are great, HOWEVER, DO NOT BUY THE JUMBO SET! Buy them separately. I bought the set with the pump containers and neither of the pumps on these worked. Also, something was definitely off about the products.

I had tried the shampoo and conditioner before and LOVED them. The argan oil formulas made my hair so soft, silk and shiny and the scent is absolutely heavenly. I have read other reviews and for some, the scent is too strong, but I love it.

it IS a bit overwhelming. I purposely choose not to wear perfume for that reason. Anyway, the the pumps were broken, I decided to open the shampoo and conditioner and try them before I decided to return them.

I thought, hey I’ve paid all this money, maybe it’s not such a big deal just to pour it out of the bottle. But I tried it ONCE. and the shampoo stripped my hair, and the conditioner did not soften my hair like the product I had used previously, and neither had the strong scent I recall.

These are not the same products I used before. I don’t know where these came from, but they are not genuine Moroccanoil products. I am not blaming Sephora, but maybe they need to check with their distributor.

I will be purchasing the Moroccanoil shampoo and conditioners separately from now on.

IšverstiShow in original languageI bought this shampoo based on the numerous rave reviews, but my experience with it was quite different. First, the scent is absolutely awful. It smells exactly like Nair hair remover…like a rotten watermelon doused in cheap perfume.

Thankfully, it doesn’t linger after a wash. Second, the shampoo feels like it never washes out all the way, and leaves a heavy film on my hair. Third, every time I rinse my hair after using it, I shed tons of hair strands.

The loss stopped immediately after switching to a different shampoo brand. Finally, this did nothing at all to enhance my 2c/3a curls, and made my hair appear very dull. I used over half the bottle because of the cost, but I wouldn’t even feel right giving the remainder away to someone.

I’m going to toss it.

IšverstiShow in original languageGifted by Virtue Labs. I read that keratin could make curly hair “behave” better so I was excited to try this. It’s a great conditioner – super thick, almost like a mask, and smells so good! It does make my hair much softer especially on the dry ends and it helps curls form.

I was shocked, but I could actually finger roll my front pieces and get huge juicy clumps without any sort of leave-in – just this conditioner! They don’t stay without gel or something, but still. It doesn’t help much with frizz for me though, so I do prefer to use it with a leave in or gel afterwards to help with that.

I really like this and hope to try it with the shampoo next.

IšverstiShow in original languageGifted by Virtue Labs. This is a heavy duty effective conditioner that my hair loves. I have a pretty damaged hair. Lots of split ends. My hair is usually dry and frizzy.

After using this product, my hair is fully transformed! I use this as a leave in conditioner. Little bit goes a long way. After application, my hair is soft and less frizzy. Highly nourished. I love the smell of this product.

Also, this bottle is so big. It will last a very long time. This brand never dissapoints. I am just so happy with this product and the results. Will repurchase!.

Des années que je galère à trouver ce produit magique jusqu’ici peu référencé. Merci Sephora de faire rentrer cette marque dans votre écurie, je ne connais pas encore les autres produits de la marque mais ce conditionner est juste magique! J’adore son odeur, il démêle les cheveux en un clin d’oeil (c’est même le seul qui vienne à bout des long cheveux de ma fille), pas de résidus mais juste de beaux cheveux brillants.

Top!.

après des années de grattages du cuir chevelu, mon homme et moi ont enfin trouvé la solution. Parfum très agréable, Monsieur adore et douceur extrême du shampoing pour en finir définitivement avec les irritations.

Très bon shampoing hydratant. À conseiller pour les cheveux très secs. Je le rachèterai en format normal. Le format voyage reste toutefois un peu limité de part sa quantité (j’étais plutôt surprise à la réception).

I am really happy with how effective this leave-in conditioner is. I have shoulder-length medium thick wavy hair and I prefer a lot of hydration in my products. I can put 1 full pump of this in after shampoo (or shampoo and conditioner) and it detangles and defrizzes without weighing my hair down.

It doesn’t have strong definition, but it is enough to stop my frizz. I also find the scent to be pleasant and light. I occasionally put a little on my dry hair to define/tame my curls as well.

I’m shocked at the number of negative reviews on this shampoo because my boyfriend and I have been really happy with the curly line. We’ve gone through a full size bottle and jumbo bottle of the shampoo and two full sizes of the conditioner.

We both have thick, heavy, long curly hair (no idea what hair types. I’ve never bothered to learn) and switched to this line from the Perfect Hair Day line. It works a lot better at softening and defining our curls.

And my hair doesn’t tangle as quickly as it used to between showers. Literally the only complaint my boyfriend and I have is that it doesn’t smell as nice as the PhD line (it smells fine, we just really like the PhD scent).

I have noticed that we seem to shed more hair in the shower than we used to, but honestly we both shed *a lot* and are used to it. Never occurred to me that might be related to the switch. I do tend to use a lot of shampoo at a time since it doesn’t lather, but I feel like it leaves my scalp and hair moisturized, not dried out.

I’m sorry to hear not everyone has had the same experience I have. But I love this product, so will keep using.

I want to start by saying that I love some of the other Living Proof products I’ve come to learn that the products are very hit or miss. Unfortunately this one was a miss. I received a bottle as a gift from my mom and since I love their curling cream, I thought I would love this too.

When washing, I didn’t feel like it really cleaned my hair at all. It wasn’t sudsy and didn’t foam at all when scrubbing my scalp which made me feel like I had to use so many handfuls of it. I went through the product so fast because I felt like it wasn’t working.

It also left my hair feeling really dry, almost like a stringy, straw like texture. I also didn’t notice that my hair was any more curly after using this product, if anything, it made my hair more frizzy.

I’ve tried plenty of other shampoos that I like much better like the Davines or purology. I would recommend trying something else instead.

For years I worked laboriously to smooth, straighten, transform my natural curly hair. I finally gave in, as my hair grew more & more silver and a different texture! So I embraced my curly hair and started the process of finding quality products.

I found them , but they all smelled exactly the same! Then I saw an ad for Living Proof Curl Products. Absolutely no coconut, beach smell!. just fresh flowers, gentle breezes, with a hint of a subtle spice that smells like sunshine!! They are a bit pricey, but it’s by far, hands down, the cleanest, fresh smelling curl product out there! I confess I use it when I need an extra “oomph “ to my ego.

This shampoo gets so many compliments. It’s that “special date” shampoo!.

Let me start off by saying I have extremely thick hair, it’s wavy between 2b 2c. So overall pretty manageable but it can get very frizzy, it has a lot of volume and a mind of its own when it comes to cowlicks and how things are going to fall and stay.

My mom used to keep it cut hella short like a boy when I was younger so as an adult I take a lot of pride in my hair and do lots with it. Meaning it’s been thru chemical treatment, heat treatments, colors, etc.

Then I got tired of upkeep and having hair like straw for the last year I have letting it grow out naturally. Since doing so I had an extremely hard time finding a shampoo, conditioner and leaving conditioner or hair oil/ serum that would work for me.

I tried dozens of products and I’m talking expensive ones all the way down to cheap stuff. The only thing I had found and could settle on was a new product by Marc Anthony called Grow Long. When I did find that product finally after years of searching I was very outspoken and vocal about it.

I told pretty much everyone that had hair about it, including that it is affordable and Walgreens always has a sale on it. I also need something to treat the scalp skin as I have psoriasis at the base of my skull and under my hair.

It’s mostly under control as I use RX product on it, don’t want to mix the two. I normally go through conditioner at least twice as fast as I would go through shampoo with any product. with this conditioner I can add about two small dime size spots of conditioner to my hair and be mostly good, I am a bit more until my hair feels completely saturated because I spoil myself and even after rinsing an out you can feel how quickly the product work because your hair feels amazing.

I’ve gotten so many compliments people asking me what I did with my hair and even to me and pictures. it will shinier and healthier. It feels better. it doesn’t seem as dry. I can rush through it very easily.

It smells good all the time and the shampoo and conditioner last at least twice as long as my regular products do so. like many other products from influenster, I think I may be a convert to the Maui line.

I have tried out several of Maui Moisture’s conditioners, and this coconut oil one is BY FAR my favorite! This conditioner has an AMAZING tropical/fruity/clean fragrance to it. It has a medium thick consistency to it, which I prefer over being too runny, or too thick making it difficult to squeeze out of the bottle.

I leave this conditioner on while I am performing the rest of my shower routine. This way I can give the conditioner enough time to soak into my freshly shampooed hair. I have pretty dry hair so this coconut oil conditioner does it wonders.

Once it has been on my hair for a sufficient amount of time high brush it out under the running water. I have very tingle prone hair but this conditioner makes detangling a breeze. After rinsing out the product I am left with silky smooth hair that smells amazing.

My mom has thick, coarse hair so I had her try out this conditioner as well. She too was left with beautiful, silky hair after using this conditioner! I have wavy hair and this conditioner really brought out and defined my wave pattern.

I think this would be a lovely conditioner for others with wavy to curly hair. I am absolutely satisfied with this conditioner, and I will be repurchasing. Highly recommend!.

Hair background: I have medium to high density hair. My hair is medium porosity type 4a natural hair. Product: This conditioner has a thick consistency. it is white and has a very pleasent scent. in terms of the packaging I wish it was bigger because you tend to use more conditioner than shampoo as a curly girl.

so I would change the packaging to be bigger and also an upside down packaging to help with product flow. Product on natural hair: Not sure if it is safe for color treated hair. However it worked well on my un-color treated hair.

This conditioner is not as conditioning as other conditioners which is the main reason why I rated it as I did. it absorbs very well into my dehydrated hair but it didnt condition it well. It also did not have alot of slip and I found detangling my hair with flowing water easier than detangling my hair with this conditioner.

it is an overall ok conditioner for natural hair but it needs a follow up leave in conditioner. I have attached a photo of my hair after I washed it to see. On my wigs this worked great. it wasn’t to heavy and it conditioned them well.

at 47, I worry about my fine wavy hair thinning. It had been stripped by previously being dyed all over. I have a super sensitive scalp, and wanted moisture and healing, and this seemed great for months.

But after a while, it seemed my hair was thinning. I used their blond shampoo to help with my brassiness of the growing out damaged hair which helped a ton initially, but then seemed to stop working.

So I alternated back to this one, as the blue one says to use sometimes not all the time. And then my hair seemed stripped. I still like their tone enhancer, honestly, that alone made a big difference.

But perhaps it is a combination of my age, fine fine hair and perhaps water where I live? I don’t know. Perhaps on vacation at the beach this would be okay. But I have tried so so many shampoos, online only high end, gentle salon brands, drugstore brands, organic ones, sensitive scalp ones.

I have used a famous name brand repair brand fora few weeks, but it makes my scalp itch, though my hair is getting better. I finally gave up and ordered customized ones from online which have no yet arrived.

All this rambling is to say, maybe it’s just me. It seemed great for a while. I seem to get sensitized to products fairly easily. Worth trying.

It felt like I was washing my hair with paint. Couldn’t get it through my hair. Made my hair feel like it was extremely dry.

This is a dark coral old lady color. Nothing like the picture.

Love OPI and this red is beautiful. Shipped and delivered quicker than I expected.

I don’t blow dry nor do I dye my hair. I use hair creams and sometime flexible styling hair sprays not related to this brand. With that said, with this shampoo I sometimes have to lather twice to really feel like I fully removed any hair products, other than that, this shampoo does lather well & has a soft smell to it.

It’s winter here at the moment and this shampoo is not helping with my winter dandruff, which it’s okay, I scalp detox once a week & that helps for a while, not this brand either, but I’m mentioning it incase you think it helps moisturize your scalp.

As for conditioner, I use a different brand too & thanks because I like how my conditioner defines my curls but unfortunately this other brand conditioner does not add volume, niece I’m done with what I have, I’ll try the conditioner for Ouidad.

This curl cream would be great for you if you’re not looking to have too much hold in your hair. It’s thick, but it doesn’t create a very strong cast for me. As you can see, my hair is already frizzing at the roots and it’s not completely dry yet.

There’s no cast to scrunch out. The pump is also really hard to use and only dispenses like a dime size of product with each pump, which means I need to pump twice just to get enough for one section of hair.

It is very hydrating, so I can’t knock it down too much, but it is probably my least favorite ouidad product, which is saying a lot because I LOVE ouidad. Basically, just stick to the hydrating gel.

The shampoo performed well, but the scent is terrible. It smells like watermelon and is tacky. I like elevated products. This is far from that. I will spend the extra bucks to get the experience that comes with Ouai, Davines, R andCo from here on out.

I alternate between the Be Curly conditioner and the Scalp Remedy conditioner. The both work great according to my hair needs (flaky scalp, fine curly hair) and they both smell fantastic. I highly recommend taking advantage of the Aveda rewards program.

Save your points. I stock up when they run triple points weekends. We were able to save enough points to cash them in for a trip to the Aveda Spa and resort in Antigua. I buy the products because they work, but the high level reward trips are an incredible perk on top.

This conditioner didn’t stand out to me. I expected it to be more moisturizing. The smell is very good, it’s subtle. I will not repurchase since it’s over $20 for less than 8 ounces. Curly girls can find a conditioner that is more affordable and moisturizing like the Hask Keratin Protein Conditioner (12 oz for $5) or Zotos All About Curls Daily Cream Conditioner (15 oz for $12).

The saying a little goes a long way applies here. I used less than a quarter size dollop to wash my past shoulder length hair. The lather was amazing, and let’s not forget the the lovely citrus smell.

My curls have stayed in days longer than with any other curl shampoo. It is a bit pricey but so worth it I can’t wait to purchase again. Highly recommend for curly hair woman!.

I discovered RizosCurls earlier this year and was excited to learn about their “curl love is self love” philosophy. I received their Rizos Reina Box for my birthday and from then on continued using their products (most frequently the shampoo/conditioner).

I loved the way it made my curls soft, hydrated, and bouncy. I recommended it to my sister a couple of months ago and we used it simultaneously for around 2-3 months. For some time now ( I can’t pinpoint exactly when that’s why it was so difficult for me to name these products as the culprits) I’ve noticed increasing hair loss.

I blamed it on everyday stress, changes in diet, and even the weather. I went back to check the reviews RizosCurls received on Ulta randomly and noticed that some had written about hair loss. I mentioned this offhand to my sister a couple of weeks ago and that’s when she told me she’d started to notice hair loss too.

Immediately, I stopped using these products and bought a different shampoo. Since then, I have noticed the excessive hair loss stop. I’m disappointed and hurt that this brand I loved so much ended up causing me bigger problems than I originally had.

I don’t know how many of their products I can trust. Did it give me the illusion of soft, healthy, and moisturized hair? Yes. Are the newly discovered bald spots worth it? Never.

CALLING ALL CURLY GALS AND GUYS! Get these products! This is DAY 2 HAIR! I love these products for what they do and for the person behind it! The creator is Julissa Prado, an LA native and Hispanic woman who is killin it! Her products are plant based and made with good ingredients that also smell super great.

I cannot praise these enough. I have everything pictured— the shampoo and conditioner, leave-in conditioner, cream, and gel. I also use her flexi-brush and her blow dryer diffuser attachment that is collapsible for easy transport.

She released new scalp oils and masks that are definitely on my “to buy” list. Overall, I’d definitely recommend these products and I have already repurchased! #haircare #curly #curlygirl #curlcare #hydration #moisture #gel #hair #hairproducts #curlyhair #rizoscurls #curls #shampoo #conditioner #gel #cream #hairgel #voxbox #influenster #love #gamechanger #glamgame #goodhairday #shelfie.

My hair is wavy and curly. I have low porosity hair (meaning it is hard for moisture to get in and out. ) You can test your stand of hair by putting it in glass of water. So i mention this bc i don’t think this product works for me, bc i have low porosity.

It made my hair super dry bc the formula was staying in my hair. It felt like residue that couldn’t be washed out. I think the residue was getting stuck in my low poreous hair, thus water couldnt get in or out.

The conditioner was the same too. The gel and conditioner works great. If the formula can include low porosity folks this could be really good. The shampoo smelled so good! I’m rooting for the creator of this and would love to see this include diff hair texture.

Absolutely love this shampoo! Finally found one that doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry or like straw. I use it along with the conditioner and they work like a dream. My hair finally feels healthy again, the scent is amazing too! Very light scent not extremely strong so it doesn’t givee a headache like other scents can.

I would highly recommend this product!.

This is an amazing shampoo and I love the fact that it is sulphate free. I have been using sulphate free shampoos for almost 7 years now. It takes some getting used to because your hair can be greasy at first but once your hair gets used to sulphate free shampoos, it will feel a lot healthier.

This is definitely my go-to shampoo. I try out other brands from time to time but always come back to it.

Didn’t work 100% for me. But in all fainess, I have to say this. I have curly hair but it’s frizzy. Most curling products don’t work for me. This shampoo smells nice and it cleans without stripping your hair.

Fair price and good size bottle. Overall, I’m not satisfied but I’m not disappointed either.
