Curl Expression is the Série Expert sub-range for wavy and curly hair. The coiled part of the curl is the most fragile. This is why curly hair is drier, less shiny, and breaks more easily. The formulas contain plant-derived glycerin, H urea, and hibiscus seeds. Glycerin retains water, H urea maintains hydration, and hibiscus provides amino acids and vitamins. Curls stay hydrated, defined, and protected.
The range includes two shampoos, a mask, a 10-in-1 cream foam, a cream gel, and a refreshing spray. The cream shampoo intensely hydrates. The gel shampoo removes product residue. The mask deeply hydrates and detangles. The cream foam and cream gel define curls without rinsing. The spray refreshes curls and keeps frizz under control. L'Oréal describes the products in the range as vegan.
Wash with the appropriate shampoo, massage until it lathers, and rinse. Squeeze the water out of your hair with a towel and divide it into sections so that the product reaches everywhere. Apply the mask to each section, run your fingers through your hair for 1–2 minutes, and rinse. On towel-dried hair, apply a little cream gel to the curls, then the cream foam. Air-dry or use a hairdryer. In the morning, spray the spray on your curls to revive them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Curl Expression shampoo should I choose?
The cream shampoo is for intense hydration on dry curls. The gel shampoo cleanses residue left by styling products. You can alternate them: the gel when your hair feels weighed down, and the cream otherwise.
Do Curl Expression products contain sulfates or silicones?
L'Oréal describes them as sulfate-free. The gel shampoo, cream foam, cream gel, and spray are also silicone-free. All are vegan, meaning they contain no ingredients of animal origin.
