Shampoo for Curly and Dry Hair: A Mini Guide for Gorgeous Curls
Curly, frizzy, or coily hair is more demanding. On one hand, because its fiber is more complex, and on the other, because it constantly needs hydration or it will lose its bounce. Getting into the habit of using a shampoo for curly and dry hair is therefore doing your hair a great favor—as well as your mood.
The specific needs of curly and dry hair
You know it, you always feel better after a visit to the hairdresser or at the very least, with freshly washed hair. Yes, but depending on the weather and the products used, your curly hair sometimes looks a bit limp.
Why? Because the spiral shape of its strands prevents sebum from sliding down the fiber and therefore, from properly hydrating it. This characteristic dryness also causes a higher breakage rate than other hair types.
A unique issue, but fortunately not unsolvable, which nevertheless requires careful attention to the composition of the chosen hair care products.
The Key Ingredients in Your Suitable Shampoo
To do things right and, above all, to be gentle with your hair, a good shampoo for curly and dry hair should always contain moisturizing agents such as glycerin, shea butter, aloe vera, provitamin B5, or natural oils (coconut, castor, jojoba, etc.).
Proteins can also be useful to strengthen the fiber and its structure, repair damage caused by time, weather, pollution, or even styling accessories, and improve the hair’s elasticity and resistance.
Finally, the ingredients to avoid are primarily sulfates and alcohols, which are very drying for both hair and skin.
This is why at Corine de Farme, we have always favored natural ingredients and the benefits derived from plants. This way, your hair and scalp remain strong and healthy.
Two Washing Techniques to Maximize the Benefits of Shampoo
No matter how good a cleansing product is, it’s not everything. If applied too frequently or in too large a quantity, it can damage and weigh down your hair—the opposite effect of what you want. Sacrées Natures Corine de Farme therefore shares two tips for properly using shampoo for curly and dry hair.
First of all, don’t wash your hair too often. One shampoo per week is more than enough to rid the scalp of impurities. In between, you can use a dry shampoo or try the co-wash technique, which uses only conditioner for massaging.
Because Corine de Farme formulas are concentrated enough to be effective, only a small amount is needed: a dab for short hair and about a walnut-sized amount for longer hair.
Not only will you have fewer difficulties when rinsing, but you’ll also use less water, which is good for the planet. In fact, if you can (it’s easier in summer!), try using cool water for lighter, shinier hair.

As you know, Corine de Farme has always been committed to offering you products that respect the skin, even the most sensitive, and the environment. That’s why our Sacrées Natures prioritize the use of ingredients of natural origin, carefully selected for their effectiveness and gentleness.
Corine de Farme has therefore made it a point of honor over the years to develop gentle products combining performance and naturalness, without controversial ingredients. An approach that respects not only your hair, but also your children’s.
Finally, your shampoo, like the vast majority of Corine de Farme products, is also produced in an eco-friendly way, thanks in particular to bottles and packaging that are fully recyclable.
