The short version.

What it does
Curlsmith describes the original Wash & Scrub as a deeper cleanser and scalp exfoliator for buildup. “Detox” here refers to cleansing, not removing toxins from the body.
How to use it
Curlsmith’s guide describes applying to wet roots, massaging gently in small circles, rinsing thoroughly, and following with conditioner. Follow your exact package’s directions and alternate with a milder cleanser.
Before you buy
Check the product name and formula carefully. Curlsmith says Curl Reset Detox Shampoo has an upgraded formula; it should not be treated as the same product reviewed here.

Ranked #4 in Nicky O’s comparison; not currently a Seal of Approval winner. Pacifica remains #1, Living Proof #2, and Innersense #3.
