For people with Afro/curly hair types, shopping around for effective products can be expensive and time-consuming. And often, we think that any old shampoo will work as long as we use a flashy moisturiser. But your cleanser is just as worthy when it comes to washday. Here are nine Black-owned shampoos that will really care for your curls and coils.
IVY WILD Sulphate-Free Hydrating Shampoo, £14.10
Formulated by IVY WILD creator Sherine, this shampoo will keep your scalp clean from dandruff and tame frizz. It’s also infused with Mongongo and argan oils to guarantee moisturised, bouncy hair.
