This Novex curl shampoo is especially for children (from 3 years). After using the shampoo and conditioner, I begged that my damaged curls have become shiny and soft. In addition, it ensures optimal hydration and cleansing. The shampoo contains Aloe Vera and is free of parabens, petrolatum, silicones, sulphates. This shampoo is CG friendly. This product is also free of protein, it does have a product that can react the same as protein, so that's why I alternate with products protein free and with protein.
