Ouidad Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Oil Shampoo is a curl-loving cleanser that comforts dry, thirsty hair.
This low-foaming formula gently lifts away build-up while keeping fragile curls cushioned in moisture. As you massage it in, the texture feels silky and oil-rich, wrapping each strand instead of roughing it up.
Curls are left soft, bouncy, and easier to detangle, with a light, cared-for feel rather than squeaky or stripped. The subtle scent is clean and cosy, turning wash day into a calmer ritual.
Ideal for dry, damaged, or tightly coiled curls that need extra kindness, and perfect for frequent washers who want a gentle cleanse. Use whenever curls feel dull, tight, or lack movement and comfort.

- Work lather through mid-lengths and ends; add water if needed.
