Questions

Do I need a separate conditioner for curly hair?

Not always. Curl conditioners tend to have more slip for detangling, which many people with curls prefer.

What is the best sulfate free conditioner for curly hair?

There's no single best one. All 24 listed here have no sulfates on the ingredient list, and the brand describes each as suited to this use. Start with the ones checked on the brand page, then compare cleansers and fragrance.

How do I know a conditioner is really sulfate-free?

Read the ingredient list, not the front label. Look for any ingredient ending in 'sulfate' (lauryl, laureth, coco-sulfate and so on). Sulfonates and sulfosuccinates are different ingredients.

Do you test these products?

No. We check ingredient lists and what the brand says the product is for, not how it performs.
