Our Take
Formulated with blackcurrant seed oil and coconut butter, this Allure Best of Beauty award-winning shampoo from the Frizz Control (green) range is built around the idea that preventing frizz starts in the shower, not the styling step. The oils form a light protective film over the cuticle as it cleanses, sealing moisture in and laying the groundwork for humidity resistance before you've even reached your leave-in. Protein-free and gentle enough for regular use, it pairs naturally with the Frizz Control Duo Conditioner. UK curlies dealing with persistent damp will find this combination worthwhile across the winter months.
