Fortunately for today's consumer, shampoos for black hair have come a very long way. Not only do we now enjoy an incredibly large selection of cleansers designed for our hair's unique needs, but they come in a range of price points for every budget. Whether you have a favorite commercial brand or issues like fair trade are important to you, this list of diverse options has something for everyone. Here are some of the best shampoos for black hair.
1. CURLS Pure Curls Clarifying Shampoo
The more you put on your hair to get that great style everyone envies, the more you have to eventually remove. Mousse, hair spray, oil sheen, setting lotion, daily styling aids and more don't all get washed away with each shampoo. Over time, you may notice your tresses don't have the same sheen.
They may feel limp as well. That's when you should introduce a clarifying shampoo into your routine, and this one from CURLS is incredibly gentle. Traditional clarifiers were designed to strip the hair's natural oils, something black hair doesn't need. Clarifying treatments like this are gentle enough for our tresses, but you should still use them sparingly.
