Cleanse your curls without washing out their shape.
A gentle cleansing base for curly and wavy hair.
Curly Hair Wash cleans gently while conditioning agents coat the hair to smooth frizz — so curls come out softer, springier, and more defined.
"Curly clients don't need a heavier product — they need a cleaner that doesn't rough up the cuticle. This one leaves the curl soft and defined instead of frizzy and thirsty."
Curls lose their shape when the cuticle roughens and the strand drinks in humidity — that's what turns definition into frizz.
Curly Hair Wash is the cleansing base from Kapyderm's Dermocosmetic line, made for curly and wavy hair. As it cleanses, a system of cationic conditioners and hydrolyzed collagen forms a light film along the hair's surface — smoothing the cuticle to help tame frizz and hold curl definition, while lactic acid keeps the formula at a mildly acidic pH of around 5 for a soft, glossy finish.
What actually tames frizz
Frizz is mostly a humidity problem: a raised, roughened cuticle lets the strand absorb moisture from the air and swell, and the curl loses its shape. Cationic conditioners — the polyquaterniums in this wash — carry a positive charge that pulls them onto the hair, where they lay down a smooth, even film along the cuticle. That film is what tames frizz and helps curls resist soaking up humidity, so definition holds longer between washes.
Inside the formula
Polyquaternium-7 & -22
Film-forming conditioners that coat the cuticle, smooth frizz, add slip for detangling, and help curls hold their shape.
Dimethicone Copolyol
Leaves a sleek, glossy micro-finish that catches the light and adds shine to defined curls.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Coats the cuticle with a light protein film, helping curls feel stronger, springier, and hold definition.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
A mild co-surfactant that helps build a soft, low-stripping lather that won't rough up the curl.
Lactic Acid
Keeps the formula at a mildly acidic pH of around 5 — helping the cuticle lie flat and smooth.

Part of Kapyderm's Dermocosmetic wash range, formulated in Spain over 35+ years of dermatological practice.

What is Curly Hair Wash?
It's a gentle cleansing base from Kapyderm's Dermocosmetic line, made for curly and wavy hair. It cleans while conditioning agents coat the cuticle, helping tame frizz and keep curls soft and defined.
How does it help with frizz?
Frizz comes largely from humidity swelling a roughened cuticle. The cationic conditioners in this wash lay down a smooth film along the hair that helps it resist absorbing moisture from the air, so curls stay more defined. A curl conditioner or leave-in afterward helps even more.
How do I use it?
Wet the hair, work a small amount through to a light lather, massage gently over the scalp and through the curls, then rinse thoroughly. Gentle enough for regular use.
What does the hydrolyzed collagen do?
It coats the cuticle with a light protein film that helps curls feel stronger and hold their shape. It's a cosmetic conditioning effect at the surface, not a biological change to the strand.
Does it contain parabens or sulfates?
It's paraben-free. It is not sulfate-free — the cleansing system uses TEA-lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate.
How should I store it / how long after opening?
Period after opening is 12 months. Store cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
