Curly hair shampoo: The best products at BellAffair
Everyone knows it: people with curly hair often want straight hair, and vice versa. Curls are both a blessing and a curse. Natural curls look exciting, playful, and beautiful, and they generally don’t become greasy quickly. However, those who have them also know that curls can be very demanding and unruly. We’ll help you find the ideal curly hair shampoo for your needs, making the first step in your curl care routine as effective as possible.
Why do you need a special curly hair shampoo?
Women with naturally curly hair know this problem all too well: no matter how many care and styling products are used, the curls hang limply, and the hair looks dull and dry. The outer layer of the hair, also called the cuticle, lies more loosely in curly hair than in straight hair, which is why it requires more intensive care.
Top shampoos for curls: How to find the right one for you
The right curly hair shampoo is the foundation for making your curls easy to comb and beautifully defined. There are many different shampoos for curls, which we’re happy to show you and compare in advance — making your final choice much easier.
But first, it’s up to you to determine your curl type. There are three different types of curls, and the shampoo should be chosen based on which type you have.
Natural curls: Spiral or corkscrew curls with lots of bounce, definition, and little frizz
Waves: Loose, flowing waves with low bounce and a touch of frizz
Coily hair: Uneven, unstructured waves with very little bounce, little definition, and a lot of frizz
The classic: Wella curly hair shampoo
Wella was founded back in the 19th century and remains one of the leading brands in hair cosmetics today. In 1930, Wella invented the world’s first permanent wave device, so it’s no surprise that curls and waves are still an important focus for the company.
With its Wella Nutricurls line, the brand offers a comprehensive care range for curly hair. The Wella Nutricurls Curls Shampoo in particular provides gentle cleansing and nourishment. Even frizzy hair becomes more manageable, while natural curls gain better definition and vitality.
Curly hair shampoo without sulfates and parabens
Parabens and sulfates are controversial ingredients in shampoos. That’s why more and more brands are choosing to exclude them.
The Davines Love Curl Shampoo, free from sulfates and parabens, gently cleanses curly hair while providing moisture, bounce, and softness. Curls are protected and more defined.
The Paul Mitchell Spring Loaded Frizz-Fighting Shampoo helps prevent frizz and gives natural curls bounce, smoothness, and easy combing. It is not only paraben- and sulfate-free but also vegan.
Curly hair shampoo without silicones
Curly hair is often brittle, dry, and lacking vitality. It also tends to be more difficult to detangle than straight hair. The Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo is ideal for daily cleansing of natural curls and waves. It delivers the necessary boost of moisture and, thanks to its silicone-free formula, is particularly gentle on the hair.
Tip: The Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo is also available at BellAffair in combination with other products from the same care line at attractive prices in hair care sets.
Vegan curly hair shampoo
If you’ve switched your hair care routine to vegan products, you shouldn’t miss the range from Aveda. Following Ayurvedic tradition, these products are made from plant-based essences.
The Aveda Be Curly Shampoo enhances curls and waves, leaving them soft and smooth while preventing frizz. For those who want extra nourishment along with cleansing, the Aveda Be Curly Co-Wash is worth trying. It cleanses the curls and provides them with long-lasting moisture for up to three days.
What should I look for when buying a curly hair shampoo?
With such a wide variety of options available, it can be difficult to know which curly hair shampoo to choose. To make the right decision, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
- Consider your hair structure when selecting a shampoo. Very dry hair requires more nourishment than fine hair.
- Sulfates (often labeled as “Sodium Lauryl Sulfate”) are a no-go for curly hair, as they dry out both the hair and scalp, making frizzy hair even rougher.
- Aloe vera, keratin, coconut oil, argan oil, and jojoba oil provide intensive care and help restore lost moisture.
How to make curls last longer: Tips and tricks for proper curl care
Caring for curly hair can seem like a big task if you don’t know where to start. Here are some helpful tips and tricks on how to properly wash and care for your curls:
- The right curly hair shampoo is the foundation for beautiful curls. Choose your shampoo carefully to suit your hair’s needs.
- To avoid frizz, gently pat your hair dry with a towel after washing — never rub it.
- Let your hair air-dry or use a diffuser to preserve your natural curl pattern.
- Once a week, treat your hair with a moisturizing hair mask to keep it nourished.
- A curl cream, such as Goldwell Stylesign Curls Defining Cream, can help enhance the shape of your curls and make them last longer.

What is the Curly Girl Method?
The Curly Girl Method is a special care routine for natural curls designed to define and enhance them. It consists of five steps:
- Wash your hair with conditioner (!) Apply conditioner again and detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb while it sits
- Rinse with cold water
- Apply leave-in conditioner to soaking wet hair, catching the running water and scrunching it back into your curls
- Press your hair gently against your head with a towel, let it dry slightly, and then leave it to air-dry naturally
Can I create curls only with a curling iron?
Curls are very trendy, so even those with straight hair love to style them. You can create them in the classic way using curlers or a curling iron. However, there are now techniques that work with a flat iron as well.
