Taliah Waajid Black Earth Products Total Body Black Earth Shampoo: Gentle Cleansing for Natural & Textured Hair 237ml/8.01 oz
Getting a scalp properly clean without leaving the lengths parched is the awkward balance most wash days need, and that is the job this 237ml bottle is built for. It lifts oil and old product away, then stops short of the squeaky, stripped feeling that has you reaching for a heavy mask ten minutes later.
Botanical extracts handle the softening side. In practice that means hair comes out of the shower with some slip left in it, so a wide-tooth comb moves through more easily and there is less frizz to argue with once everything dries down. That matters more than it sounds. The detangle straight after a wash is where a good deal of breakage happens, and a shampoo that leaves hair rough makes the rest of the routine harder than it needs to be.
Taliah Waajid built the Black Earth line around textured hair, and this one suits curly, coily and afro textures that wash weekly or more often.

Application tips
One pump for short hair, two or three for longer, worked into a wet scalp in small circles with your fingertips.
Let the lather rinse down the lengths rather than piling the hair on top of your head, which is where most wash-day tangles start. Rinse until the water runs clear, then condition; a mild wash like this leaves hair thirsty for it.
Results
Cleansing without the stripped, straw-like feel a harsh shampoo leaves behind. The scalp feels calm rather than tight, and hair rinses out soft enough to detangle in the shower.
The lather is modest because the cleansers are gentle, which is not the same thing as working less. Frizz sits down as the hair dries and there is still slip left in it.
