Every curl journey should start with a clean slate. A clarifying shampoo sweeps away buildup that’s been weighing your curls down, so you can bring back the bounce, shine, and definition you’ve been missing. Whether it’s leftover product, heavy oils, silicones, or hard water minerals, the right detox shampoo clears strands and refreshes your scalp, giving curls room to spring back to life.

Our Curl Detox Clarifying Shampoo does just that, combining the power of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) with a gentle chelating complex and naturally active botanicals. It removes residue, buildup, and hard water deposits, while locking in hydration so curls feel soft, manageable, and full of movement.

Think of it as a reset button for your curls - a deep cleanse that preps them perfectly for the Only Curls Starter Bundle, which keeps your strands nourished, defined, and bouncy from wash to style.

Why Start With a Clarifying Shampoo?

Curls thrive when they’re free from buildup that clings to the lengths and weighs them down. A clarifying shampoo isn’t just about the scalp - it’s about restoring lightness, shine, and movement to every strand.

Curl Detox Clarifying Shampoo lifts away:

  • Residue from styling products and silicones
  • Heavy oils and sulfates
  • Hard water minerals (thanks to a gentle chelating complex)

All while keeping curls soft, hydrated, and manageable. After just one wash, you’ll notice lighter strands, bouncier curls, and that fresh, airy feeling your hair has been craving!

The Perfect Pair: Clarify & Curl Starter Bundle

Starting with a clarifying wash makes our regular Starter Bundle even more effective. Once your curls are cleared of buildup, the bundle nourishes, hydrates, and defines:

Inside the Clarify & Curl Starter Bundle:

  • Curl Detox Clarifying Shampoo - start your curl routine with the ultimate reset, then use every 1-2 weeks
  • All Curl Cleanser - gentle, sulfate-free, perfect for regular wash days
  • All Curl Conditioner - hydrates and detangles with ease
  • Hydrating Curl Creme - adds moisture and smooth definition
  • Enhancing Curl Gel - locks in curls with lasting hold and shine

This routine helps new curlies embrace their natural texture - no sulfates, no silicones, no heaviness.

How To Use Them Together

1) First Wash - Detox
Use Curl Detox Clarifying Shampoo as your very first step to clear away buildup from old products. Clarify once a week or whenever your curls need a detox. Focus on roots, massage into scalp*, and rinse thoroughly.
*Pro Tip: Pair with our scalp massager to help loosen stubborn build-up and boost circulation for an even deeper clean.

2) Follow With Conditioner
Apply All Curl Conditioner while your hair is wet to detangle and lock in moisture. Rinse.

3) Style & Define
Apply the Hydrating Curl Creme, then finish with the Enhancing Curl Gel for long-lasting definition.

4) Ongoing Routine - Alternate
Use the Clarifying Shampoo once every 1-2 weeks and the All Curl Cleanser on regular wash days. This keeps curls fresh without over-stripping hydration.
