Retrô Cosméticos Poder dos Cachos Low Poo Hydrating Shampoo – Gentle Cleansing, Curl Definition & Nourishment – 10.1 fl oz (300 ml)

Meet the Retrô Cosméticos Poder dos Cachos Low Poo Hydrating Shampoo – 10.1 fl oz (300 ml), the gentle wash at the start of Brazil's "Power of the Curls" ritual. It is a low poo formula: no sulphates in the cleansing system, just decyl glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine, so curls get clean without being stripped of the oils that hold their shape.

The nourishing side comes from linseed (flaxseed) oil, rich in omega-3 and omega-6 and naturally high in ceramides, backed by a botanical blend of chamomile, hops, lemon balm, rosemary and yarrow. Together they help keep the fibre soft and easy to detangle while the lather stays light and controlled.

Designed for wavy, curly and coily hair — curl patterns 2ABC, 3ABC and 4ABC — it leaves the hair detangled, clean, nourished and hydrated, which is exactly the state curls need to be in before a leave-in goes on.

Key Features:

• Low poo, sulphate-free cleansing: decyl glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine clean gently with just the right amount of foam for curl routines.
• Brazilian linseed (flaxseed) oil: Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil brings omegas 3 and 6 plus ceramides to help nourish the fibre.
• Botanical blend: chamomile, hops, lemon balm, rosemary and yarrow extracts round out the formula.
• Helps define curls: cleansing without stripping means the curl pattern stays springy instead of frizzing out.
• Easy detangling: polyquaternium conditioners leave hair slippery enough to finger-comb in the shower.
• Made for 2ABC, 3ABC and 4ABC curls: wavy, curly and coily patterns all fit this formula.
• PETA-approved brand: Retrô Cosméticos carries PETA's Global Animal Test Policy approval.

How To Use

1. Wet: soak the hair with lukewarm to cool water.
2. Apply: work the shampoo through the hair.
3. Massage: massage the roots vigorously with your fingertips, then be gentle along the lengths.
4. Rinse: rinse with plenty of water until the hair feels clean and free of residue.

Expert Tip: follow with the Retrô Cosméticos Poder dos Cachos Curl Defining Leave-In Cream (10.1 fl oz / 300 ml) on damp hair — it uses the same linseed oil system, and scrunching it in is what turns a clean wash into defined, bouncy curls.

FAQ

What does "low poo" mean?

Low poo describes a shampoo that cleanses without sulphates, using milder surfactants instead. It is the standard first step of the Brazilian curly-girl routine, because it removes dirt and product without flattening the curl pattern.

How do I use it?

On hair wet with lukewarm to cool water, apply the shampoo, massage the roots vigorously with your fingertips, be gentle along the lengths, then rinse with plenty of water.

Is this an authentic Brazilian product?

Yes. It is made in Brazil by Retrô Cosméticos (Grupo Felps) and sourced directly, so you receive the original Brazilian retail packaging, labelled in Portuguese.

Which curl types is it for?

Wavy, curly and coily hair — the label lists curvatures 2ABC, 3ABC and 4ABC. Straight hair can use it too as a gentle everyday wash.

Do you ship internationally, and can I return it?

Yes — we ship worldwide from our Brazilian sourcing network, and unopened items can be returned under our standard returns policy. Tracking is provided on every order.
