Aveda Be Curly Advanced Co-Wash 11.8 fl oz — Sulfate & Silicone-Free Hydrating Cleanser for Curly, Coily Hair

Aveda Be Curly Advanced Co-Wash is a gentle, silicone-free conditioning cleanser that removes buildup while boosting hydration and defining curls and coils.

This co-wash is designed for textured hair that needs cleansing without the drying effects of traditional shampoos. Formulated with 98% naturally derived ingredients, a plant-protein peptide for curl strength, and kokum seed butter for slip, it refreshes hair between washes, reduces frizz and increases shine. The lightweight citrus Pure-Fume aroma comes from certified organic lemon, bergamot and orange essences.

How does this co-wash clean without stripping natural oils?

Instead of harsh sulfates, Be Curly Advanced Co-Wash uses mild surfactants and conditioning agents that lift dirt and product residue while leaving the hair’s natural moisture intact. The rinse feels softer and hair retains more elasticity compared with traditional shampooing.

• Mild, sulfate-free cleansing agents remove buildup gently.
• Conditioning molecules prevent the hair cuticle from drying out.
• Kokum seed butter provides detangling slip for easier rinsing.

Will this help define my curl pattern and reduce frizz?

The formula is silicone-free and enriched with a plant-derived peptide that helps support curl structure while smoothing flyaways. Users typically notice improved curl clumping and diminished frizz after use, especially when combined with a leave-in or styling product from the same system.

• Peptide complex supports curl resilience and shape.
• Hydrating ingredients boost surface smoothness to reduce frizz.
• Leaves hair with more shine and visible curl definition.

How do I use Be Curly Advanced Co-Wash in my routine?

Massage a generous amount into wet hair and scalp, working from roots to ends to lift oils and product residue. Rinse thoroughly; add more product for thicker or very coily hair, then follow with your usual conditioner or styling products as needed.

• Apply to wet hair, focus on scalp and roots to remove buildup.
• For heavy buildup, repeat or follow with a gentle shampoo occasionally.
• Pair with Aveda Be Curly styling products for best results.

Is this product safe for color-treated or sensitive scalps?

The formula avoids sulfates, silicones, parabens and synthetic fragrances, which can be gentler for color-treated and sensitive scalps compared with harsher cleaners. However, individual sensitivities vary, so perform a patch test if you have a history of reactions to haircare ingredients.

• Free from sulfates, silicones and synthetic fragrances.
• 98% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128 standard.
• Recommended: patch test if you have extreme sensitivity or allergies.

Who is this for: Aveda Be Curly Advanced Co-Wash suits anyone with wavy, curly or coily hair who wants to refresh and detangle between full washes without stripping natural oils. It’s especially helpful for hair that frizzes easily, needs extra slip for gentle detangling, or for those following a moisture-first care approach. Professionals and texture-focused stylists created this formula for people seeking a plant-forward, sulfate- and silicone-free option that enhances curl definition and hydration.
