• Wavy hair that needs effective cleansing without a heavy finish.
• Loose curls that need moisture while retaining natural movement.
• Frizz-prone textures that are difficult to smooth or manage.
• Hair that tends to feel weighed down by richer cleansing products.
• Customers building a dedicated routine for waves or looser curl patterns.

When waves and loose curls become overloaded with richer products, they can lose movement and feel difficult to manage. This formula cleanses gently while a moisture blend of blue agave, shea butter, coconut oil and flaxseed oil works to attract and retain water, supporting shine and smoother, less frizzy hair without weighing curls down.
