Curly & Coily Fantasia - IC Co-Wash Ultra-Moisturising Gentle Cleanser for Curly & Coily Hair 296ml/10.01 oz
Tight coils lose moisture faster than any other texture, and a sulphate wash every few days makes that worse rather than better.
Fantasia's IC co-wash is the alternative: a conditioning cleanse for 3A through 4C hair that clears the scalp without touching the oils the hair needs to hold its pattern.
It works as a proper cleanser, not merely a rinse. Sweat, light styling product and everyday grime come away, and hair is left soft enough that fingers can move through it before the conditioner even goes on.
- Sulphate-free conditioning cleanse for curls and coils
- Keeps moisture in while lifting dirt and light product
- Adds slip for detangling in the shower
- Fits a curly girl method routine without adjustment
- 296ml / 10.01 oz
A word on frequency, because co-washing gets misused. Coily hair does well on a co-wash between shampoos and badly on a co-wash forever. Conditioning agents accumulate, and the curl pattern goes soft and undefined without anyone quite working out why. Run a clarifying wash every three or four weeks and this stays useful indefinitely.
Best on dense, dry or tightly coiled hair that dries out within a day of washing. Fine waves will find it heavy.

Application tips
Co-washing works on soaking wet hair, so get the whole head properly saturated before the bottle comes out.
Squeeze a generous amount straight onto the scalp in four sections and massage with fingertips, not nails, for a full minute each. Draw what is left through the lengths, finger detangle while everything is slippery, then rinse until the water runs clear. Anything left behind feels heavy by day two.
Results
Cleansing without the squeak is the whole idea. Roots feel washed, lengths keep their softness, and the tangle you started with loosens under your fingers instead of a comb.
Curls come out plump and evenly hydrated, with a clump pattern that holds once you style. It suits anyone who finds a weekly shampoo leaves their hair rough and thirsty by the following morning.
