As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo

Cleanse while supporting stronger, more moisturized strands with As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo, a sulphate-free shampoo formulated to remove buildup while maintaining the moisture curly and textured hair needs. Jamaican Black Castor Oil provides lipid-rich conditioning that helps soften the hair, reduce moisture loss and improve the feel of dry, fragile strands. Betaine and glycerin provide additional moisture support, while Polyquaternium-10 improves slip and manageability during cleansing. The formula also contains Ceramide NG, a lipid that helps support the hair's protective barrier and contributes to smoother, stronger-feeling strands. Linseed extract, Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide additional conditioning and antioxidant support for the hair and scalp. As I Am reports 7% improved hair moisture and 6% improved strength after one application, along with 96% less breakage. The result is clean, softer and more manageable hair with a moisture-focused cleanse that prepares curls and coils for conditioning and styling.

How to Use + Best For

Apply a generous amount of As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo to thoroughly wet hair, massage through the hair and scalp to create a lather, and leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly; repeat if needed. Follow with As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner to replenish moisture and provide additional softness after cleansing. The shampoo is suitable for all hair types, including wavy, curly and coily textures, but is especially useful for dry, fragile, breakage-prone or difficult-to-detangle hair. Based on its moisture-supporting and lipid-rich formula, it can be particularly beneficial for medium-to-high porosity hair, while low-porosity hair can also use it when a moisture-focused cleanse is desired. As I Am also confirms that it can be used on colour-treated and chemically relaxed hair.

Take Khair Tip: Focus your shampoo primarily on your scalp and roots, then let the lather travel through your lengths as you rinse—this helps cleanse effectively without unnecessarily overworking dry or fragile ends.
