Boticário Match Ciência das Curvas Low-Poo Curl Shampoo – Sulfate & Silicone-Free Cleansing with 7-Oil Blend for Curls 2A to 4C – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml)
- Cleanses wavy, curly and coily hair while helping avoid the stripped, squeaky feeling left by harsher shampoos.
- Lifts away buildup, excess oil and product residue from the scalp and lengths.
- Fits low-poo and curly-girl routines, with no sulfates, parabens, silicones or salt.
- Helps soften and condition each strand with a 99.6% naturally derived blend of seven oils.
- Helps support hydration and a comfortable feel with sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera leaf extract.
Made for anyone with wavy, curly or coily hair anywhere from 2A to 4C, since it was co-created and approved with women across the full curl spectrum. It suits people following a low-poo or curly-girl routine who want an effective cleanse that does not rely on sulfates or silicones, and the high-yield formula works well for dense or long hair. It is not a fragrance-free option, so it is less suitable if you avoid perfumed products or react easily to fragrance, and it is not meant for an irritated or broken scalp. If what you are looking for is a strong clarifying wash, this gentler formula may not feel like enough on its own.

- 300 ml (10.14 fl oz) bottle of a high-yield vegan formula, so a little goes a long way.
- Key actives: a 99.6% naturally derived 7-oil blend of opuntia (prickly pear), black cumin, moringa, puna, baobab, shea butter and coconut seed butter.
- Also formulated with sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) and aloe vera leaf extract.

Apply the shampoo to wet hair, massaging gently, then rinse well. In practice, saturate hair with warm water first and section it if your curls are dense or long, focus the shampoo on the scalp and roots, and use your fingertips to loosen buildup and product residue. Work the lather down the lengths without scrubbing or piling curls on top of your head, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear and follow with your usual conditioner or mask. After heavy styling or oiling, a quick second cleanse helps: the first pass breaks down residue and the second one leaves the scalp feeling properly clean.
- Comes as a 300 ml bottle in the original Brazilian version, so the packaging is labeled in Portuguese; the English ingredient list and directions are on this page.
- The formula contains no CI colorants, so staining of towels or light-coloured fabrics is not an expected concern, but it is fragranced and is not a fragrance-free product.
- External use only: avoid contact with the eyes, do not apply to an irritated or broken scalp, discontinue use in case of sensitization, keep the bottle tightly closed away from light and excessive heat, and keep it out of reach of children.
The formula is built around a sulfate-free cleansing base, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate supported by coco-glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine, which removes buildup and excess oil without the stripped, squeaky result that harsher shampoos leave on textured hair. Because that base cleans more gently, the 99.6% naturally derived 7-oil blend and the shea and coconut butters can stay on the strand to help soften it and reduce the appearance of frizz, while sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera leaf extract help support hydration and a comfortable scalp feel. Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride adds slip so wet curls are easier to work through, and leaving out silicones and salt is what keeps the result compatible with low-poo and curly-girl routines. This is the cleansing step of a routine, so it is meant to be followed by your usual conditioner or mask.
