The Mustela Detangling & Nourishing Cream Shampoo is a gentle cleansing shampoo made for babies and children with textured hair. It cleans, hydrates and detangles in one step, leaving hair soft, shiny and bouncy without drying out the scalp — which makes wash day a little easier when you're working through waves, curls and the knots that come with them.
Designed for hair types 2A to 3C, including wavy and curly hair, the creamy texture transforms into a light, easy-to-rinse foam. It helps define curls and reduce frizz while providing deep hydration, and it's formulated to avoid weighing hair down. It's lightly scented with Mustela's signature fragrance, and made with 96% ingredients of natural origin per the ISO 16128 standard.
Made for textured hair
Curly and coily hair tends to be drier along the shaft and prone to tangling, so a cleanser that adds slip and moisture makes combing and styling more manageable. This formula is built around that need: fair trade shea butter helps lock in moisture and soften brittle hair, while sustainably sourced avocado oil delivers vitamins and minerals for smooth, shiny hair without heaviness. In Mustela's testing, 88% of parents agreed it prevents the formation of knots.
