Hello Lovelies!
Relaxed haired ladies have long had their own corner of the hair care product market, and cleansers and shampoos are no exception. Since relaxed hair is practically it’s own hair type, shampoos, cleansers, and other hair products that are specifically formulated for relaxed hair makes absolute sense, and are totally necessary. Relaxed ladies must be careful to choose a shampoo that isn’t too harsh or drying for relaxed hair. Relaxers and hair straighteners exposes delicate curly and highly textured strands to enough harsh chemicals that makes relaxed hair prone to extreme dryness and breakage if not properly cared for, so it’s important to select shampoos and cleansers that are extremely gentle and moisturizing to your chemically treated hair, yet strong enough to remove build-up from the scalp and hair.

This sulfate-free shampoo has amazing silkening and softening abilities; you’ll easily be able to detangle your relaxed hair as you shampoo your tresses. Because it doesn’t have sulfates (read harsh detergents), this cleanser won’t lather as much as shampoos that do have sulfates and other sudsing ingredients. However, don’t let that fool you, this cleanser will remove build-up and heavy oils and give you salon-quality results.
