Is Joico Curly Girl Approved?

Unfortunately none of Joico’s conditioners were curly girl approved. Only one of their shampoos was curly girl approved and two of their styling products (a lotion and a foam).

The Joico Curl Controlling Anti-Frizz Styler and the Curl Corrected Curl Perfecting Milk unfortunately both contain ingredients which mean they are not suitable for use with the CG method.

Which Joico Products are Curly Girl Approved?

The following 3 Joico products are all Curly Girl Approved!

Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo

The Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo gently cleanses and strengths the hair whilst protecting hair colour. This shampoo is a great option if you have dyed your hair in the past and want to preserve your colour as long as possible. It’s also a good choice if your hair is damaged as it helps to strengthen the hair bonds whilst gently removing sebum and dirt.

Joico Joilotion Sculpting Hair Lotion

The Joico Sculpting Lotion is a CG friendly, alcohol-free setting lotion. It provides curls and waves with light to medium hold, and leaves the curly hair shiny and bouncy. This product is a good choice for controlling frizzy hair that’s hard to manage. It helps to set the hair after blow drying and contains UV filters to protect the hair throughout the day.

Joico Joiwhip Firm-Hold Design Foam

The Joico Joiwhip Firm Hold Foam is a great alcohol-free styling foam that provides firm hold to the hair. It also adds body, shine and volume as well as contains filters to protect the hair from UV rays and environmental stress. This foam should be applied to damp hair after washing.
