Redken All Soft Mega Curls Shampoo is a sulfate-free, silicone-free cleansing shampoo formulated specifically for severely dry curls and coils. In place of harsher sulfate surfactants, it's built on a gentler olefin sulfonate and betaine cleansing base, so it lifts away buildup while working alongside Redken's Nourish Complex, aloe vera, glycerin, cactus flower extract and Inca inchi oil, to add back moisture and softness as it cleanses.
The shampoo is the first step of a three-product system, meant to be followed by All Soft Mega Curls Conditioner and the leave-in HydraMelt treatment; used together, Redken states the routine defines, hydrates and reduces frizz for up to 72 hours. Used on its own, it still gently cleanses curl and coil patterns that tend to run dry, without stripping away the moisture those textures depend on, and it's formulated as a vegan product with no animal-derived ingredients.
Because it's designed around a low-sulfate, moisture-retentive cleanse rather than a high-foaming, deep-stripping one, it suits wash days spaced further apart, which is typical for curl and coil maintenance, rather than daily washing. It's sold in two sizes, a 10.1 fl oz bottle and a 33.8 fl oz bottle, for people committing to the full routine.
