Overview

Curlsmith uses micelle-forming surfactants with apple cider vinegar, ginger root and peppermint oil to lift product build-up and minerals from curls in one step. Conditioning agents help hair avoid a stripped feel.

Clearing build-up and hard water minerals revives curls that have gone limp or dull. It is meant for occasional use, so it does not replace a daily shampoo.

Who it's for

Curly and wavy hair weighed down by stylers, and flaky or dry scalps, get a deep reset. Those who use few products may not need regular clarifying.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Removes product build-up
  • Removes hard water minerals
  • Sulfate free with conditioning agents
  • Suits all curl types
Cons
  • Not for every wash
  • Needs a follow-up conditioner
  • Mineral removal claims not quantified per mineral

Performance notes

Micelles surround oil and silicone residue and rinse them away, while apple cider vinegar helps loosen mineral deposits. A double wash and vigorous massage clear the scalp more fully.
