Is L’Oreal curly girl approved? Unfortunately the majority of L’Oreal products are not suitable for the Curly Girl Method. Out of the sixty eight products I reviewed I only found ten that were curly girl friendly. These were mostly from L’Oreal’s Botanicals range. In this post I have listed all ten curly girl approved products from L’Oreal as well as sixty eight that weren’t.

Curly girl approved products are free from the following:
- Sulphates
- Silicones that are not water soluble
- Alcohols or witch hazel (unless the witch hazel is marked “alcohol-free”)
- Soaps including potassium hydroxide and lye
- Waxes that are not water-soluble
