Our verdict

A gentle oil based shampoo for dry, damaged curls that cleans without stripping. Bottle size is not listed, and an oily scalp may want a stronger wash now and then.

Overview

In the shower on a dry curl wash day, Ouidad Moisture Lock cleans with an oil formula that mimics the hair's natural oils. Fruit and seed oils, silk proteins and a repair complex coat each strand to curb brittleness.

Cleaning without pulling moisture out is what dry curls need most, and this formula is built for it. Heavy build up and oily roots may need a clarifying shampoo from time to time.

Who it's for

Curls and waves that feel rough and brittle after regular shampoos benefit from the oil cleanse. Those with oily roots or lots of product build up need a stronger cleanser.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sulfate free, cleans gently
  • Oils and silk proteins
  • Safe for color treated hair
  • Works on all curl types
Cons
  • Bottle size not listed
  • Light cleanse for build up
  • Mask and conditioner sold separately

Performance notes

Oil cleansers lift dirt while leaving a film of fatty acids on the strand, so curls stay softer after rinsing. Massaging into the scalp and rinsing thoroughly prevents heaviness. Following with a conditioner completes the moisture routine.
