So, I’ve been on the search for the perfect shampoo for Bear. He has super curly hair. If I had to put him into a category, it’ll be 3A/3B hair type. This is a child who does a lot of things with his hair – he pulls on it, he wipes his dirty hands on it, he has no qualms getting it wet. While he might not care about his hair, I kinda do. I like to have it as clean as possible.
Before I started using shampoo on him, I used just the regular body wash. I don’t know what I was thinking. The body wash is meant just for that – the body. The body wash weighed his hair down. One day, I decided out of curiosity, ‘I wonder how this shampoo would benefit his hair?’
I tried it and guess what? He loved it! Eventually, I’ll do another shampoo video but here’s an example of his wash routine:

Anyway, let’s get down to business –
L’Oreal EverCurl Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner
Consistency:
The shampoo is silky and smooth. The conditioner has nice slip and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky.
Smell:
Both are light. Not overly powerful. It didn’t bother Bear, which is very important.
The Cost:
It’s pricey – I’ve seen the shampoo and conditioner retail for as much as $12.99 and as little as $7.99, separately.
The Routine:
- I pour a little shampoo in my hand and give Bear a scalp massage. Clean from root to tip.
- Rinse.
- Follow-up with the EverCurl conditioner. Leave on for a couple of minutes and rinse.
- Towel-dry and detangle with a brush and a detangling leave-in (which I will do a separate review on!).
Note: I don’t wash Bear’s hair every day. One, I don’t want to dry out his hair. Two, I don’t think he really needs a washing every day. There are times when I do multiple washings (like two days in a row, so on) because boys like to get dirty and often. Whenever I don’t wash his hair with shampoo, I use a co-washing conditioner.
The Result:
And for second day hair:

My Review:
Pros:
- Very clean, both products. Light smell.
- It’s sulfate-free and not full of a lot of chemicals.
- A little goes a long a way.
- Strictly for curly hair types*
- Toddler/Kid-friendly.
- You can find this at any beauty supply store, Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, and Amazon.
Cons:
- It’s pricey. This would be considered medium-grade of shampoo and conditioner.
- *While it says it’s for all curly hair types, I honestly believe it’s best for the Type 3 hair types.
In conclusion, I do recommend L’Oreal’s EverCurl shampoo and conditioner.
I’m still going to do my long-awaited Mixed Chicks shampoo review. Anyway, I hope this review helps you in your future purchase!
