DERMA E Wash Day Curl Shampoo, 12 fl oz

DERMA E Wash Day Curl Shampoo is a sulfate-free cleansing shampoo for wavy, curly and coily hair. The 12 fl oz (355 mL) pump bottle highlights avocado oil, amla extract, yucca root and natural essential oils for a wash-day routine with a cooling, tingling feel.

Cleansing for waves, curls and coils

The manufacturer describes this shampoo as helping remove excess oils, impurities and scalp buildup without stripping moisture. Its formula combines cleansing ingredients with glycerin, aloe, panthenol, shea butter and a blend of plant oils.

This is a rinse-out shampoo, not the brand's conditioner and co-wash or leave-in curl cream. It is a cleansing step, not a treatment for hair loss or a promise of new hair growth.

Avocado, amla and cooling mint ingredients

The published ingredient list includes avocado, argan, castor, jojoba and marula oils, together with amla fruit extract, yucca root extract and papaya and mango extracts. It also includes sweet almond oil and coconut oil.

Menthol, Menthone Glycerin Acetal and mint oils accompany the manufacturer's described tingling sensation. The formula contains naturally derived fragrance oil and is not fragrance-free. A cooling feel is not proof of improved circulation or hair growth; review the ingredients for personal sensitivities.

How to use on wash day

Use two or three pumps and gently massage onto wet hair and scalp until a slight lather forms. Massage the scalp for up to one minute, then rinse thoroughly. The manufacturer recommends following with its curl conditioner and co-wash or curl deep treatment.

Follow your current bottle's directions and precautions. Do not substitute the three-to-five-minute instructions of a different DERMA E shampoo or assume a fixed daily schedule. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
