Our vegan, cruelty-free formulas are designed especially for wavy hair products, curly hair products, and coily hair products. You can find the nourishment your locks need to transform them from hair you like, to hair you love.

Our sulphate‑free, silicone‑free, and paraben‑free formulas cleanse without stripping, lock in moisture, and help preserve your colour for longer.

All Curlsmith products are made without silicones, sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, DEAs, drying alcohols, artificial dyes, or phthalates. We keep our ingredient lists clean and curl‑friendly, and all formulas meet strict EU safety standards.

Our fragrances combine natural essential oils with carefully selected synthetic notes. This approach enhances the scent while reducing the risk of irritation, as pure essential oils can be quite intense on the scalp and skin. Every fragrance ingredient complies with IFRA and RIFM standards to ensure they’re safe, gentle, and non‑toxic.

Every product has its ingredients listed right on its page. Just scroll down to the description and tap the Ingredients section to see exactly what’s inside.

Our formulas are designed to be gentle and safe. That said, everyone’s pregnancy is unique, so we always suggest speaking with your doctor before introducing any new haircare products.

Many people with eczema prone or psoriasis prone skin find Curlsmith gentle and comfortable to use, as we leave out harsh sulphates, silicones, parabens, and mineral oils. Our Fragrance Free recipe is an especially good choice for anyone with sensitivities and is dermatologically tested for delicate scalps. Everyone’s skin is unique though - particularly with conditions like eczema or psoriasis - so checking with your doctor is always a good idea if you’re unsure!

Curlsmith products are designed to layer and complement one another, giving you the freedom to build your own signature blend of hydration, repair, scalp care, and styling. It’s all about crafting the perfect recipe for your curls’ unique personality!

Curlsmith rewards are based on how much you spend over a 12 month period, with three tiers that unlock more benefits as you move up. As a Curl Friend, you’ll earn 1 point per £1 spent with us and access some extra perks. Once you spend £200 within the year, you’ll move up to Curl Family, where you’ll earn 1.25 points per £1 and discover even more benefits.

Points earned within each tier are eligible for the tier multiplier. Points earned in previous tiers are subject to the point multiplier of that tier.

You can redeem your points in increments of £5, £10, £15, £20 and £25 off.

Once your refund has been processed, your tier eligibility will be automatically recalculated. If you no longer meet the spend requirement for your current tier, your status may be adjusted in line with our tier downgrade guidelines.

If you include photos or videos, points will only be granted for genuine customer content that clearly shows the results of using the product. Content that doesn’t meet this criteria will not be eligible for rewards points.

Curls are typically grouped into 3 main categories - type 2 waves, type 3 curls, and type 4 coils. From there, each category is split into 3 subcategories, such as 2A, 2B, and 2C. Identifying your curl type can help you better understand the best products and routine for your curls. For an in depth explanation on identifying your curl type, please see this article from our Curl Academy. Just remember, your curl type is just a starting point - factors like thickness, density, and porosity matter just as much when it comes to choosing the right products.

The main difference between wavy, curly, and coily hair lies in the shape of each strand and how tightly it forms its pattern.

- Wavy hair has a gentle ‘S’ shape. It is usually finer, with less volume at the roots and a looser overall texture.
- Curly hair forms more defined ringlets, ranging from loose spirals to tight corkscrews. It tends to have more volume throughout, but is also more prone to frizz.
- Coily hair features very densely packed strands that often form a zig-zag or tight spring pattern. This hair type is typically coarser, and experiences the most shrinkage.

Generally we recommend starting off strong with 3 steps: cleansing, conditioning, and hydrating with a leave in. Stylers, treatments, refreshers and oils/serums are optional extra steps.

1. Shampoo to cleanse the hair (we usually recommend double shampooing for best results).

2. Condition (this could be your usual conditioner for 2–3 minutes, or a deep conditioning mask for up to 30 minutes).

3. Leave-in conditioner to hydrate your curls and prep your hair for styling.

- optional -

4. Apply your chosen styler.

5. Apply an oil or serum to break the curl cast and restore softness.

- between wash days -

6. Refresh your curls with Shake & Shine or CurlFit.

We don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach, because no two curls are the same. Our experts have created a clever Curl Quiz that assesses your unique hair needs and recommends a personalised routine to help you reach your hair goals. It gives you a complete wash‑day plan, covering every step we suggest beautiful curls.

You can also try our new Styler Quiz for personalised guidance on which styler suits you best.

Stylers such as gels and jellies work by creating a temporary cast around your curls, which is a firm outer shell that forms as the product dries. This cast is a good thing - it locks in moisture, protects your curls while they dry, and helps prevent frizz during the drying process. Once your hair is fully dry, you can gently scrunch out the cast to reveal soft, defined curls underneath.

If your hair feels heavy or limp, it’s often a sign that the products you’re using are a bit too rich for your hair type. Heavy creams, oils, or butters can sit on the strands rather than absorbing, which leads to that weighed‑down feeling.

Another common cause is product build-up. Minerals from hard water, residue from shampoos and conditioners, stylers like gels and creams, hairsprays, and even environmental pollutants can all accumulate on the hair. This creates a coating that makes curls look dull, feel coated, and respond less effectively to stylers, cleansers, and moisturisers.

To reset your hair, clarifying is key. A clarifying treatment removes excess buildup, oils, grease, and pollutants, helping your curls feel lighter and more responsive again. For this, we’d recommend the Curl Reset Detox Shampoo - a gentle clarifying treatment designed to deeply cleanse the hair and scalp without stripping or drying out your curls.

There's no rules when it comes to your wash day frequency; wash your hair as often as you feel like you need to! Once a week, every few days, or even every day - you know what feels best for your hair. Check out our blog post for more info on hair washing.

Curls naturally tend to frizz because of their curved structure. Unlike straight strands that lie flat and uniform, waves, curls, and coils twist and bend, which makes it harder for them to align smoothly.

Factors like a moisture imbalance, where dehydrated curls pull water from the air, and raised cuticles from rough handling, heat, or damage can make frizz even more noticeable.

The biggest cause of frizz, however, is often the drying method. Using a regular towel, diffusing without enough product, or touching your curls before they’ve fully set can disturb the curl pattern and create frizz. To minimise this, try using a styler that forms a stronger cast, switch to a t‑shirt or microfiber towel, and avoid touching your hair until it’s completely dry so the curls can form and set undisturbed.

For a more in depth explanation on frizz, please see our blog post on the 5 Causes of Frizzy Curls & How to Prevent It.

Refreshing your curls between wash days is all about bringing your curls back to life, by reactivating the products already in your hair and adding back a little moisture where it’s needed. Most curls respond well to a light mist of water or a curl‑refresh spray, like Shake & Shine, which helps revive definition and soften any areas that have become dry or stretched out. You can gently scrunch to encourage your pattern to bounce back, or smooth over individual sections that need extra attention.

If your curls have lost more shape, you can target specific pieces with a small amount of leave‑in or styler, focusing on the mid‑lengths and ends. Allow your hair to air‑dry or diffuse on low without touching it so the refreshed curls can set in place.

For refreshing the scalp, our new CurlFit spray is going to be your go-to - helping keep your roots feeling clean, balanced, and comfortable between wash days.
