Review: Beautiful Curls Curl Enhancing Shampoo and Leave-In Conditioner

Natural shampoos are frequently vegan and/or gluten-free, but the conditioners can sometimes be a real challenge. Many have silk protein (not vegan) or wheat protein (not gluten-free). So when you're looking for a specialty hair product, such as a shampoo and conditioner set for curly hair, finding one that is both vegan and gluten-free can be tough. Fortunately, Beautiful Curls rose to the challenge and created a set of a curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner.

Pros:
  • Lovely scent
  • Shampoo cleanses well
  • Natural ingredients
  • Made with fair trade shea butter
  • Hair felt moisturized after use
Cons:
  • Leave-in conditioner worked better as a rinse-out conditioner on my long, thick hair
Summary:
The shampoo and conditioner both seemed to work well. I especially appreciated how the bottles are oriented differently so those with poor vision (like me) can tell them apart more easily in the shower. The conditioner was very hydrating, and I found it weighed down my waves a bit. It seemed to work fine, however, as a rinse-out conditioner. These are fairly gentle products, rating a 2-3 on EWG's Skin Deep database. If you're looking for a shampoo and conditioner for curly hair, and would like them to be both vegan and gluten-free, these products are a good choice.

Also available on Amazon.com: shampoo and conditioner.
