Many clarifying shampoos can be overly drying for curly and coily hair types, which are prone to dehydration in the first place. Thankfully, Pattern’s cleansing shampoo is here to save them. Created specifically for textured hair, it offers a deep cleanse, then hydrates and strengthens with ingredients like nourishing panthenol, antioxidant-rich green tea, and fortifying rosemary oil. As one reviewer writes, “I’ve been trying to find a good shampoo for my 3b/c curls to cleanse without leaving my hair feeling brittle. I can now honestly say I have found it. This shampoo makes my scalp feel clean and hair soft after I rinse.”

An Ulta reviewer says: “It’s clarifying and moisturizing! I don’t know how to explain it, but it works. My low-porosity hair loves whatever is in this product. Please don’t change a thing! I have been searching years for a product like this. Most clarifying shampoos are drying and leave me with a tangled mess. But not this. I also struggle with scalp sensitivity, so I follow up with a medicated shampoo, and it’s sufficiently moisturized throughout.”
