From the Partners Hair team
L'Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Curl Expression Anti-Buildup Cleansing Jelly Shampoo is a sulfate-free, silicone-free clarifying jelly shampoo for curls and coils. Part of the Série Expert Curl Expression range — powered by Glycerin + Urea H + Hibiscus Seed. A jelly-textured deep cleanse that removes build-up and impurities without stripping moisture or causing an itchy feeling.

Best for: curls and coils with product, oil, or leave-in build-up needing a periodic deep cleanse; use every other week, or after heavy leave-in layering; refreshing the scalp without an itchy, stripped feeling; the first cleanse step before the Cream Shampoo.
Less suited to: everyday hydrating cleansing (use the Curl Expression Cleansing Cream Shampoo); severe damage (use L'Oréal Absolut Repair); colour-protection focus (use L'Oréal Vitamino Color); fine straight hair (use a lighter L'Oréal shampoo).

Key actives:
- Glycerin — humectant for long-lasting hydration even while clarifying
- Urea H (Hydroxyethyl Urea) — retains hydration and reinforces the hydrolipid barrier
- Hibiscus Seed (Hibiscus Esculentus) — amino acids and vitamins for strength and softness
- Salicylic Acid — gently lifts build-up and impurities

Benefits:
- Deeply purifies and removes build-up without stripping
- Sulfate-, silicone-, and paraben-free
- Keeps curls hydrated, with no itchy feeling
- Preps hair for better moisture absorption
- A little goes a long way

How to use: Apply to wet hair as an even layer and massage gently until it lathers. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with the Curl Expression Cleansing Cream Shampoo. Use every other week, or after heavy leave-in layering.

Format: 300ml shampoo.
