NYC Curls by Carlos Flores Curl Cleanser — 12 fl oz, sulfate-free no-lather cleanser for curly, coily & wavy hair, hydrating detan

NYC Curls The Curl Cleanser is a no-lather, sulfate- and silicone-free shampoo alternative designed to gently cleanse and hydrate curly, coily, and wavy hair without stripping natural oils.

Formulated for textured hair types and the Curly Girl Method, The Curl Cleanser replaces traditional foaming shampoos with a gentler cleansing approach. This 12 fl oz vegan formula combines mint oil, aloe, and vitamin E to promote hydration and manageability while offering slip for easier detangling. Its lightweight scent blends ginger essential oil with citrus and tea notes, and the product is safe for daily use and color-treated hair.

How does it clean hair without lathering?

The Curl Cleanser uses non-detergent surfactants and botanical ingredients to lift dirt and buildup without producing a foam. That means it removes impurities while preserving the hair’s natural oils, which is especially important for curls that rely on moisture for shape and elasticity.

• Non-foaming formula that avoids harsh sulfates
• Botanical and gentle surfactants that cleanse without stripping
• Safe for daily use and color-treated hair

Will it help with detangling and breakage?

The cleanser delivers noticeable slip thanks to aloe and conditioning agents, making comb-throughs and finger detangling easier. Regular use supports hydrated strands, which can reduce friction and the risk of breakage when styling or detangling.

• Aloe and vitamin E improve softness and manageability
• Enhanced slip for smoother detangling sessions
• Formulated to help strengthen hair by maintaining moisture

Is this product compatible with the Curly Girl Method and color-treated hair?

Yes — The Curl Cleanser is free from sulfates, silicones, and parabens, making it a good fit for many Curly Girl routines. It’s also labeled color-safe, so it can be used by people who dye their hair without accelerating color fade when used as directed.

• Sulfate-, silicone-, and paraben-free formulation
• 100% vegan and cruelty-free credentials
• Suitable for curly, coily, and wavy textures and colored hair

What does it smell like and how often can I use it?

The scent profile is an essential ginger oil blend brightened with citrus and subtle tea accords, providing a fresh yet warm fragrance without heavy synthetic perfumes. The gentle nature of the formula allows for daily use, or as often as your curl routine recommends based on scalp and hair needs.

• Essential ginger oil, citrus, and tea scent notes
