KEVIN MURPHY Killer.Curls Wash is a sulfate-free shampoo designed to define curls, tame frizz, and leave hair soft and bouncy. This cleanser elevates your natural curl pattern with salon-quality definition that lasts all day, without stripping moisture or adding crunch.

Key Benefits and Features
  • Hydration: Delivers lasting moisture to curls, helping them stay defined, soft, and frizz-free throughout the day.
  • Frizz Control: Reduces frizz and guards against humidity, keeping curls smooth from morning to night.
  • Gentle Cleansing: Sulphate-free formula cleanses without stripping natural oils, preserving curl integrity and bounce.
  • Curl Definition: Amplifies your natural curl pattern for salon-quality definition and lasting shape.
  • Manageability: Lightweight formula improves detangling and reduces breakage, leaving curls easy to style.
Who It's For

Ideal for all curl types — loose waves, spirals, and tight coils — seeking definition and frizz control. Suitable for dry or color-treated hair thanks to its sulfate-free, moisture-preserving formula. Works well for thick, medium, or fine hair; for very curly textures, use a small amount to avoid buildup.

Key Ingredients
  • Sulfate-Free Cleansing System — Gently cleanses hair without stripping moisture and natural oils.
  • Curl-Enhancing Polymers — Help define curl shape and maintain bounce without stiffness.
  • Lightweight Humectants — Attract moisture to keep curls hydrated and frizz-free.
  • Conditioning Elements — Smooth cuticles for easier detangling and added shine.
How to Use
  • Step 1: Thoroughly wet hair with warm water to open cuticles and prep for cleansing.
  • Step 2: Apply a small to moderate amount to scalp, then emulsify and distribute through the lengths with gentle massaging motions.
  • Step 3: Rinse completely with lukewarm water, ensuring no residue remains.
  • Step 4: For best results, follow with Killer.Curls Conditioner or your preferred styling products to maximize curl definition and hold.
