Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
As a White Haven Kevin Murphy salon — the highest ranking the brand awards — we have seen what happens when curl clients switch from a sulphate shampoo to Killer Curls Wash. The frizz that looked like a product problem is often a cleanse problem. This shampoo sets up the entire routine to work properly by not undoing what the conditioner and styler are trying to achieve.
Read full stylist notes
The client who has been using the same drugstore shampoo for years and cannot understand why her curls are always frizzy and undefined no matter what styling product she tries — we ask her what she washes with first. Nine times out of ten, she switches to Killer Curls Wash and reports that her hair finally responds to her other products. Kevin Murphy was built by a session stylist on a skincare-for-hair philosophy — high-performance ingredients, lightweight formulas, sustainable packaging made from recycled ocean plastic. Moda holds White Haven status, the highest ranking Kevin Murphy awards. We carry this brand because the ingredient-first thinking matches how our team approaches every client's hair health.

How to use
Use it the way we would.
- Apply to wet hair and massage gently at the scalp only.
- Let the rinse carry the formula through the lengths — do not scrub the ends.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Repeat only if hair has heavy product buildup.
- Follow immediately with Killer Curls Rinse.
Moda stylist tipFocus the massage at the scalp and let the rinse carry the formula through the lengths. Curls need friction-free cleansing on the mid-shaft and ends — scrubbing them directly causes mechanical breakage exactly where curl types are most fragile. Follow with Killer Curls Rinse before the hair has a chance to dry out.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaMy curls go frizzy and undefined right after washing — will Killer Curls Wash actually help?
Yes — and the shampoo step is usually where the problem starts. Sulphate surfactants strip the shaft oils that hold curl pattern together. Killer Curls Wash uses sulphate-free surfactants with Organic Oat Milk and Avocado Oil to cleanse without stripping, so your conditioner and styler have something to build on rather than repair.
I have fine wavy hair — is Killer Curls Wash too heavy for me?
Possibly — it depends on how fine and how wavy. Killer Curls Wash is formulated for wavy to coily textures and has a richer feel than a volumising shampoo. If your hair is both fine and wavy and volume is a concern, Angel Wash may be a better daily fit, with Killer Curls Rinse applied to the lengths only.
Is there a point to buying the 1000ml if I only wash my curls twice a week?
Yes — the litre works out to significantly better value per wash, and curly hair routines use more product per application than straight hair. At twice-weekly washing, a 1000ml typically lasts five to six months. If you want to try the formula first, start with the 250ml.
My scalp is oily but my curls are dry — can I use Killer Curls Wash on both?
Yes, with technique. Apply Killer Curls Wash only at the scalp and let the rinse carry it through the lengths. If your scalp is very oily, double-shampoo at the root on wash day — but keep the second pass away from the dry ends entirely.
I already use Killer Curls Rinse — does it matter which shampoo I use before it?
Yes — it matters more than most people realise. A sulphate-based cleanser before Killer Curls Rinse strips what the conditioner is trying to restore. Using Killer Curls Wash first means the conditioner is building on a prepared base rather than compensating for the cleanse step.
Love it? Go big.
