Arata Advanced Curl Care Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-in Review

Paid Collaboration with Arata

The gel and cream from Arata’s original haircare line are among my most favorite hair products ever. I always keep them in stock; they are my go-to combo when I want consistent good looking curls. So when Arata announced that they are coming out with their dedicated curly hair line, the Arata Advanced Curl Care line, I was beyond ecstatic. Let’s take a look at the Curl Care Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-in from the Arata Advanced Curl Care Line.

Arata Advanced Curl Care Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-in can be bought separately. They also come in a combo called the Arata Advanced Curl Enhancing Combo.

See this list of ingredients expected in a conditioner. There is no cationic surfactant. There are a lot of emollients, oils and butters for hydration and shine, but, I repeat, there is no cationic surfactant to smoothen the cuticle and help in detangling. Arata Advanced Curl Care Rinse Off Conditioner also has proteins.

Price: 899 INR. You can buy it here.

CG Friendly: Yes
Protein free: No
Texture: Silky soft, but provides very little slip
Fragrance: Jasmine
Performance: Arata Advanced Curl Care Rinse Off Conditioner’s has very little slip and could have been better as I had a very hard time trying to detangle my hair.

Arata Advanced Curl Care Leave-In Conditioner has a film forming polymer on top of the list, which gives it the potential to act like a curl cream. It is high on humectants which can be tricky in humid and dry weathers. It has tiny amounts of emollients, not as much as traditional leave-ins would have. Arata Advanced Curl Care Leave-In Conditioner also has small amounts of oil.

Price: 499 INR. You can buy it here.

CG Friendly: Yes
Protein free:  Yes
Texture: Silky soft, has good slip to cover hair after a good detangling. But not enough to use as a detangler.
Fragrance: Jasmine
Performance: Arata Advanced Curl Care Leave-In Conditioner didn’t provide me with too much moisture, just a little. Also, I felt like the leave in was absorbing the gel applied on top of it.
