Description
WHY USE CURLSMITH CORE STRENGTH SHAMPOO:
Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use. Curlsmith Core Strength Shampoo is a protein-enriched gentle shampoo suitable for frequent washes. Its sulphate-free cleansing system gently melts away dirt and build-up, leaving the scalp clean and refreshed.
HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Curlsmith Core Strength Shampoo is supercharged with a patented, innovative ingredient that helps strengthen the internal hair structure up to 3 times. This is a unique technology that works by creating additional hydrogen and ionic bonds within the hair keratin structure, helping to strengthen the hair shaft from the inside.
WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Core Strength Shampoo is blended with a unique complex of Rice Protein & Hemp Oil, a fully plant-based alternative to animal keratin that makes the hair look stronger and more elastic.
NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.
HOW TO USE:
Apply generously to wet hair. Massage vigorously into your scalp to break down dirt and product build-up. Rinse off thoroughly. If your hair is weak and damaged, follow with the Curlsmith Multi-Tasking Conditioner and style with your favorite Curlsmith products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleans hair without stripping it. Whilst it doesn’t feel like much going on, it really cleans the hair and scalp but doesn’t dry it out. Great with the matching conditioner on my wavy curls

I used this shampoo years ago and fell in love but told myself I couldn't justify the price but I came back. I can't deny how much healthier my hair is when I use it, now much softer, shinier and less frizzy. It also smells divine. And as someone with waist length hair I'm pleased to say a little goes a long way!
Too drying/not enough moisture for me unfortunately

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately this felt too drying on my hair after I rinsed it out - my hair felt very flat and fragile. I asked for help and I might need moisture much more than protein so will just keep this aside for occasional use around my colouring of hair
This shampoo is really good!

I started using this shampoo after one too many salon visits adding highlights to my hair. Between the bleaching and straightening my hair within an inch of it's life, I finally stopped the hamster wheel and looked to see what I could find that would actually allow me to be as gentle to my hair as possible. I let the highlights and color grow out and my natural wave to come back. What a relief to have found this shampoo to help revive it from all the damage that I was willingly doing to my hair.

I started loosing mass amount of hair about 2 years ago, unbeknownst, it was due to my Shampoo (Biolage/ Joico/Redken) and Conditioner (same). Started using Quidad, noticed less hairloss, decided to try Curlsmith and was absolutely amazed. I have very LITTLE hairloss, I detangle in shower and brush my hair after shower. I have also noticed I have no hair shed/fall throughout the day, usually I am pulling hair off of myself and everything consistently. My itchy scalp has also been alleviated and I have noticeable new hair growth. The scent is like a dusty grape smell to me lol This line is Protein ENRICHED, not Protein RICH, there is a difference. I do use it in conjunction with the 3 in 1 Conditioner in the same line, using it as a regular wash out Conditioner then as a leave in (emulsified w/water). It has not caused a protein overload. The bottle is horrible to squeeze, I keep a stash of pumps from empty random bottles, pump works great 🤣 For reference: caucasion, 3B ringlets, medium porosity, super fine hair, daily hair washer, sometimes twice a day.
Bouncy defined curls!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Curlsmith’s Core Strength Shampoo for a while now, and I absolutely love it! It cleanses my hair without making it feel dry or stripped, which is a huge plus. My curls feel stronger and healthier, and I’ve noticed less breakage over time. It’s one of the few shampoos that gives my hair the perfect balance of strength and moisture—I’ll definitely keep coming back to it!

I have used this shampoo for a year now and I did decide to go back to a cheaper shampoo to save money but i regretted it after a couple of washes. This shampoo is so much better for my hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am over the moon with this shampoo, it completely transformed mine and my mom's hair after first use. I have 2c waves and my mom has 3c curls, so I love that it worked for both of us even though we have different curl types. It made our curls more defined, bouncier and shinier. Hair looks and feels so healthy now, as it should. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way and I won't be using it everytime I wash my hair to avoid protein overload. After doing some research I've learned it's finding a balance between moisture and protein (we were over-moisturised before, lacking in protein but it can go the other way so incorporate moisturising products into your routine as well as using this, I'd say). Also bought and used the Multi Tasking Conditioner, great combo! I hope this helps and it works for you too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn’t lather well on first wash so repeated and got a bit more. Not sure if that’s what I’m meant to do but hair feels clean and fresh without being stripped. I have dry, fine hair. Followed with glow perfecting conditioner and happy with the results.
