Description

WHY USE CURLSMITH CORE STRENGTH SHAMPOO:
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use. Curlsmith Core Strength Shampoo is a protein-enriched gentle shampoo suitable for frequent washes. Its sulphate-free cleansing system gently melts away dirt and build-up, leaving the scalp clean and refreshed.

HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Curlsmith Core Strength Shampoo is supercharged with a patented, innovative ingredient that helps strengthen the internal hair structure up to 3 times. This is a unique technology that works by creating additional hydrogen and ionic bonds within the hair keratin structure, helping to strengthen the hair shaft from the inside.

WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Core Strength Shampoo is blended with a unique complex of Rice Protein & Hemp Oil, a fully plant-based alternative to animal keratin that makes the hair look stronger and more elastic.

NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.

HOW TO USE:
Apply generously to wet hair. Massage vigorously into your scalp to break down dirt and product build-up. Rinse off thoroughly. If your hair is weak and damaged, follow with the Curlsmith Multi-Tasking Conditioner and style with your favorite Curlsmith products.

    Core Strengthening Shampoo - Lightweight but mighty — perfect for fine high-porosity hair

    5 out of 5 stars

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this shampoo surprised me. It’s lightweight and doesn’t strip, yet it gives my scalp a clean, fresh feeling — even on full washdays after summer heat or product buildup. I have high-density, fine, high-porosity hair which is currently transitioning into curls, and this has become my go-to. It supports the strength I’m building from the inside out. A perfect start to any protein-balanced routine. No film, no heavy scent — just quietly effective… and it smells so so good

    Tried Curlsmith for first time

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried Curlsmith for first time recently as something different and this shampoo is unlike anything I've used before. Still getting used to it as it's quite a viscous consistency, but it hydrates the hair and scalp really well. It also allows me to actually comb through my thick curly hair before I've added any conditioner. Most shampoos don't hydrate my hair and you definitely wouldn't be able to unknot it without conditioner in first. I look forward to continue using it :)

    Love this shampoo! My curls were over moisturised from using another brand and were subsequently fluffy and not holding at all. I ordered this shampoo along with the multi tasking conditioner and the leave in air dry cream and have seen an improvement after each and every wash. My curls are back with a bounce! Thank you curlsmith, I’ll definitely be ordering again!

    My curly seems to be different to most people I meet and I have used the well known high street brand for years to manage my frizz!! But now in my late 40's and the texture of my hair seems to have changed, it was time for something new and I wish I had used this year's ago. It has revived my curls and my curls feel amazing and for the first time in a long time I can feel proud of my curls. I am no longer wanting to hide them away

    The things I like in this shampoo is the smells - really good, the texture and the foam. But for another side I believe it make me a bit of itchy in the scalp.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleans hair without stripping it. Whilst it doesn’t feel like much going on, it really cleans the hair and scalp but doesn’t dry it out. Great with the matching conditioner on my wavy curls
