A skincare staple made for your strands

What did we do before micellar water cleansers came onto the scene? I personally use one as step three of my evening cleansing routine (after cleansing oil and cleansing gel) to make sure every last but of dirt, makeup and grime is gone, but others with sensitive skin love micellar water because it’s so gentle and unlikely to cause irritation (and there’s no need to rinse).

Micellar waters contain teeny tiny molecules that basically attract anything you don’t want on your skin so they’re easily wiped away—and now this trend has been adapted for your hair. DevaCurl’s Buildup Buster Micellar Water Cleansing Serum is formulated with similar molecules that act like magnets to remove dirt, oil and product buildup, but unlike the facial versions, you do need to rinse. So, yes, it works like a shampoo, but it won’t damage your hair or strip your color.

This product is technically made for curly hair, because traditional shampoos can really drag natural curls down—but I think it’s an excellent option for anyone looking for a gentle cleansing solution!
