Curly hair combing cream, detangles, hydrates, and define curls

For curly hair that tangles and loses definition after washing

Works as a rinse-out conditioner or leave-in pre-styler. Curls detangle easily and stay defined with reduced frizz through the day.

with Biodynamic Fennel

Fennel oil contains anethole and fenchone that help soften and relax tangled curl clusters. Its gentle emollient properties allow knots to release more easily, reducing the mechanical damage that detangling causes in textured hair.

with Organic St. John's Wort

St. John's wort contains hypericin and hyperforin, bioactives that repair micro-damage along the cuticle and restore cohesion to dry, porous curls. It nourishes the strand at a structural level, whether the product is rinsed out or left in as a styling primer.

with Upcycled Rice Extract

This extract delivers inositol that penetrates the cortex to reinforce internal hydrogen bonds. It improves curl elasticity and definition, helping curls hold their natural shape through styling and throughout the day without stiffness.

with Rapeseed Phytosterols

These plant sterols mimic the hair's natural 18-MEA lipid layer that is depleted by washing and friction. They rebuild the cuticle's hydrophobic barrier, sealing in moisture and blocking humidity to keep curls defined, smooth, and frizz-free.

★★★★★ AnonymousVerified buyer

These products are truly amazing. My hair has never looked or felt better. Very grateful to you masterful alchemist's coming up with these incredible gifts for us

★★★★★ Victoria AndrewsVerified buyer

All of the OWAY product line loves my textured, Irish waves. This product is a life-saver for days when my frizz needs calming, or when my ends need refreshing. I teach and practice Yoga, sometimes in a heated room, and this product is great for showering and just getting my ends wet, and then going in with some shampoo on my roots (lately I've been loving the fortifying hair bath for Summer). Alll of the OWAY products that I have tried have been amazing. I love that this line is natural and better for our planet. Thank you from a very happy head of thick hair with texture! I honestly cannot live without OWAY in my life.

I can finally wear my curls without putting on a hat! Thank you!

✽ For rinse-out use, apply to damp hair after cleansing, leave on for 2–3 minutes, then rinse for a soft, conditioned finish.
✽ For leave-in use, apply to wet hair in small sections before styling to define curls and shield against humidity.

The bottle is part of the formula.

Every Oway bottle is glass and aluminium. No plastic means no leaching, no microplastics entering your formula, and no compromise on what reaches your hair. Glass is impermeable to light, air, and moisture. Your product arrives exactly as it left our lab.

Grown, not sourced.

We don't source ingredients. We grow them. At Ortofficina, our farm in the Bolognese hills, botanicals are cultivated using strict biodynamic methods and harvested at peak potency, the precise window when each plant delivers its highest concentration of active properties.

Agricosmetica®, a higher standard.

Agricosmetica® is Oway's proprietary approach to cosmetics, developed over 75 years of research at the intersection of Italian agricultural science and professional haircare. Every formula is built on biodynamic and certified organic ingredients, produced in a closed, circular system with zero tolerance for compromise.

About Oway

What is Agricosmetica®?

Agricosmetica® is how Oway makes cosmetics: actives from biodynamic and certified organic farming, selected with care and processed in a circular system that turns waste into resources, from the field to the bottle.

What is Ortofficina?

Ortofficina is Oway’s farm in the hills of Bologna, farmed with biodynamic methods since the early 2000s. Many of the botanical actives in Oway formulas are grown there and harvested when each plant is at its peak.

What does biodynamic mean?

Biodynamic farming treats the farm as one living system. It builds soil fertility with compost and crop rotation, uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and times sowing and harvest to natural cycles. Oway grows its biodynamic actives at Ortofficina and with a network of biodynamic growers.

Why glass and aluminium?

Glass keeps out light, air and moisture, so a formula keeps its purity, potency and freshness, and nothing leaches into it. Oway replaced plastic with recyclable glass and aluminium for its bottles, jars and tubes, to cut single-use plastic.

Where is Oway made?

In Italy. Oway was founded in Bologna in 1948 and still develops its formulas there, close to its farm, Ortofficina.
