Curly Hair Shampoo

Whether you want a clarifying shampoo, gentle no-foam cleanser, co-wash, or low-lather curl shampoo  – This Little Curl has every curl shampoo Australia and New Zealand curlies could need.

Our curl-friendly formulas are made to cleanse without stripping moisture. If you're looking to remove product build-up, balance your scalp, or simply reset your hair routine, a clarifying shampoo for curly hair is your best friend. Choose from sulphate-free, low-tox options like the Jessicurl Clarifying Shampoo or the Bounce Curl Gentle Clarifying Shampoo, both specially formulated to lift build-up without leaving your curls dry or frizzy.

A Note on Clarifying Shampoos – Deep Cleanse Without the Strip

While gentle cleansers are ideal for regular wash days, a clarifying shampoo can help remove buildup from styling products, hard water, or natural oils – even if you're following the Curly Girl Method closely, these can still build up.

At This Little Curl, we stock sulphate-free, CGM-friendly clarifying shampoos like the Jessicurl Clarifying Shampoo, Original Moxie Triple Threat Detox, and more.

Tip: Clarify every 3–4 weeks to maintain a clean, balanced scalp — and follow with a deep conditioner to lock in moisture.
