Shampoo for curly hair is a specialized formula designed to cleanse, moisturize, and define curls without stripping them of essential oils. Unlike regular shampoos, it is often sulfate-free and enriched with hydrating ingredients like natural oils (e.g., coconut, shea butter) and proteins, which help combat dryness, reduce frizz, and enhance the hair’s natural pattern. These shampoos aim to leave curls soft, bouncy, and manageable.
