Curly hair bath, defines and softens curls while supporting natural bounce

For curly or permed hair that loses its pattern when washed

Curl pattern stays intact after rinsing and bounce holds through styling.

with Biodynamic Fennel

Cultivated on our farm in Bologna using biodynamic methods, fennel oil contains anethole and fenchone, compounds that help regulate scalp sebum and gently stimulate circulation, creating a clean, balanced foundation for defined, healthy curls.

with Organic St. John's Wort

St. John's wort contains hypericin and hyperforin, bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and reparative properties that help soothe sensitive scalps and support the structural integrity of fragile, curl-prone hair.

with Upcycled Rice Extract

Recovered from rice processing, this extract is rich in inositol, a carbohydrate that penetrates the hair shaft and strengthens internal bonds. It improves curl elasticity and reduces surface friction, helping curls form more uniformly with less frizz.

with Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Protein

A plant-derived protein with a low molecular weight that adheres to the cuticle and fills micro-damage along the strand. It smooths the hair surface for improved light reflection while enhancing flexibility and reducing breakage in curly textures.

★★★★★ AnonymousVerified buyer

I love this shampoo. It's the only one that does not irritate my scalp. Please offer in the 500 or 950ml bottle, as those with curly hair have a lot of hair and/ or many family members with curly hair! The 240ml is too small.

The ritual.

Apply to thoroughly wet hair. Dispense a suitable amount into your palm, then with fingertips, gradually apply to the scalp, massaging in circular motions to activate a creamy lather. Continue massaging for a few minutes, then rinse well. Repeat if needed for a deeper cleanse.

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.
