The Ultimate Guide to CurlyEllie Intense Hydrating Shampoo: The first step in any curly routine

Curly hair deserves the best care, and finding the right products can make all the difference. Enter CurlyEllie Intense Hydrating Shampoo—a game changer for anyone with curly or textured hair. This shampoo is specially formulated to nourish, hydrate, and define curls, making it a must-have in your hair care routine. Let’s dive into what makes this shampoo stand out, explore its key ingredients, and share some tips on how to use it effectively.

Key Ingredients

1. Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing properties, aloe vera is a powerful ingredient that hydrates the hair and scalp. It helps to lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and promote a healthy shine.
2. Chlorella Vulgaris: A detoxifying microalga that contains both protein and other nutrients!
3. Shea Butter: This natural emollient is excellent for sealing in moisture. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, which nourish the hair and promote elasticity, helping to define your curls.
4. Glycerin: A humectant that attracts moisture from the environment, vegetable glycerin helps maintain hydration levels in the hair. It keeps curls plump and bouncy, preventing dryness between washes.
5. Super Oils: Such as Abyssinian Seed Oil, to improve manageability, lustre and lubricity, which will aid in detangling and lock in essential moisture!

Tips for Using CurlyEllie Intense Hydrating Shampoo

1. Pre-Wash Treatment: Consider applying a lightweight oil to your scalp before washing. This can help to minimise moisture loss and enhance hydration during the cleansing process. A once a week treatment can be game changer for dry scalps and psoriasis.
2. Focus on the Scalp: When applying the shampoo, concentrate on your scalp. Use your fingertips to gently massage, which helps remove buildup and stimulate circulation. If you’re feeling fancy you can use a Scalp Exfoliator!
3. Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to avoid any residue. Residue can weigh down curls and lead to dullness.
4. Follow with Conditioner: Pair the shampoo with a hydrating/nourishing conditioner from the CurlyEllie or Intense range. This combination works wonders for enhancing moisture retention and curl definition.

Suggested Hair Care Routine

1. Pre-Wash: Apply a pre-poo treatment of our Brightening and Radiance Oil to your dry hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. Shampoo: Wet your hair thoroughly and apply CurlyEllie Intense Hydrating Shampoo. Massage it into your scalp and let it cleanse for a minute before rinsing.
3. Condition: Follow up with a moisturising conditioner. Leave it on for a few minutes to allow the ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft.
4. Detangle: While the conditioner is still in your hair, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle, working from the ends upward.
5. Rinse: Rinse with cool water to seal the hair cuticle, which helps lock in moisture and adds shine.
6. Style: Apply your favourite leave in conditioner or styling cream on damp or wet hair. For best results, scrunch your curls and allow them to air dry or use a diffuser on low heat.
7. Refresh: On non-wash days, refresh your curls with a little water or our detangling spray to maintain moisture and definition.
