Our Take
The cleansing step in Mielle's Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz range, this sulphate-free, protein-free shampoo removes residue and buildup without provoking frizz — the avocado and tamanu oil combination leaves a light protective layer over the cuticle even during rinsing, maintaining moisture and laying the groundwork for frizz-free styling. Gentler than most clarifying options and suitable for regular use across all curl types and porosity levels. Works as a standalone everyday cleanser or as the first step in the full Avocado & Tamanu routine — pair with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner and Slip & Seal Leave-In for a coherent anti-frizz system.
