Product details

A rich, sulfate- and silicone-free shampoo that gently cleanses and hydrates wavy to tight curls (2A–4C) while helping reduce frizz and boost definition.

This one-liter Kristin Ess Moisture Rich Curl Shampoo is designed for curl patterns from loose waves to tight coils. It focuses on maintaining moisture, slip, and manageability during wash day so curls come out defined, soft, and less prone to tangles. With castor oil and shea butter in the formula, the shampoo aims to replenish hydration without leaving a heavy buildup, and it pairs best with the matching Moisture Rich Curl Conditioner and styling lineup.

How does this shampoo clean without stripping my curls?

The formula uses gentle, non-sulfate surfactants that lift dirt and product residue while preserving natural oils. That means a clearer scalp and cleaner strands without the dryness often caused by harsher detergents.

  • Non-sulfate cleansing agents that minimize moisture loss
  • Lightly clarifying action suitable for frequent washing
  • Removes buildup yet keeps hair soft for detangling

Will it help control frizz and enhance curl definition?

Yes—its moisturizing ingredients smooth the hair surface, reducing frizz and improving curl pattern formation as hair dries. For best definition, follow with the Moisture Rich Curl Conditioner and a styling product from the same line.

  • Castor oil and shea butter add slip and hydration
  • Leaves strands pliable for easier styling and clumping
  • Compatible with curl creams, gels, or leave-ins for stronger hold

Is this product safe for chemically treated or color-treated hair?

The gentle, sulfate-free formulation is generally safer on colored or chemically altered curls than aggressive cleansers, helping color last longer by reducing harsh stripping. Always patch-test and consult your colorist if you've recently processed hair.

  • No sulfates or silicones that often accelerate color fade
  • Hydrating actives help reduce breakage on fragile strands
  • Works well in a color-care routine when paired with compatible conditioners

How much product will I get and how long will it last?

This bottle contains 33.8 fl. oz. (1 liter) — sized for regular use so you won't need frequent replacements. Actual longevity depends on wash frequency and how much you use per wash, but many see extended use thanks to the concentrated nature of the formula.

  • One-liter bottle designed for long-term use
  • Economical for daily or several-times-weekly routines
  • Works with complementary Kristin Ess curl products to stretch usage
