Curl: wash, condition and define

Start with Curl shampoo and rinse-out conditioner, available separately or as a duo. Curl Leave-In Conditioner is a distinct leave-in step; Curl Activator adds styling definition. Choose by product role rather than treating every curl formula as the same step.

Scalp care and between-wash refresh

Questions before you choose

Daily or Hydrating: where should I start?

Daily is the everyday wash-care option. Choose Hydrating when dry hair needs a moisture-focused pair.

Is Curl Conditioner a leave-in?

Curl Conditioner is rinsed out. Curl Leave-In Conditioner is a separate product made for the leave-in step.

What is different about the two Daily duos?

Daily Duo pairs shampoo with conditioner. Everyday Style Duo pairs Daily shampoo with Molding Paste.

When do I use the scalp oil?

Use Pre-Wash Scalp Oil before shampooing, then wash it out. It is a preparation step, distinct from dry shampoo.

Does Restructuring Mask stay in the hair?

No. It is a rinse-out mask. Follow its instructions and use the separate leave-in or styling products for the next step.
