IntrinsiCurly Me Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo 500ml

A sulphate-free clarifying shampoo for all curl types — the monthly reset that strips away product buildup, excess oil, silicones, and hard-water minerals. The 500ml is the best-value size for households or heavy-product users.

Deeply but gently cleanses to clear away everything weighing curls down, while apple cider vinegar smooths the cuticle for shine. Resets hair and scalp so your styling products absorb properly and curls bounce back.

• Organic apple cider vinegar — smooths the cuticle for shine and helps lift buildup.
• Amla extract — supports a healthy scalp.
• Rosemary oil — refreshes and invigorates the scalp.
• Lemon & mandarin peel oils — a fresh, natural fragrance.

It produces a light foam and is pH-balanced, so it cleanses deeply without the harshness of a sulphate shampoo. It's a reset, not a daily wash: use it every 1–2 weeks on wavy or fine hair, and every 4–6 weeks on curly or coily hair, always following with a deep conditioner. Ideal for the Clean Slate Method and great for clearing Cape Town's hard-water mineral buildup. The 500ml suits families sharing a bottle or anyone who uses a lot of styling product. Contains natural essential oils — patch test if you're sensitive to them.

Vegan, cruelty-free, and Curly Girl Method friendly. Free from sulphates and silicones.

On sopping-wet hair, apply directly to your scalp. Massage in with fingertips or a scalp brush for 2–3 minutes, then work through the lengths, adding water to emulsify. Rinse thoroughly. If it doesn't foam on the first wash (a sign of heavy buildup), repeat. Always follow with The One & Only Creamy Conditioner.

Clarify with Just To Clarify, then condition with The One & Only Creamy Conditioner and define with Crème De La Curl, Coiling Me Softly, or Hold Me Baby Gel. For regular washes use the Come Clean Gentle Cleanser or Mint to Be Co-Wash. See the full IntrinsiCurly Me range, or read our complete guide to curly hair products in South Africa.

How often should I use it? Every 1–2 weeks for wavy or fine hair; every 4–6 weeks for curly or coily hair. Always follow with a deep conditioner.

Can I use it as my everyday shampoo? No — it's a deep-cleanse reset. Daily use can strip the moisture curls need.

What are the signs I need to clarify? Heavy, weighed-down curls, dullness, weaker definition, products not absorbing, or an itchy scalp.

Is it Curly Girl Method friendly? Yes — no sulphates, silicones, or harsh chemicals, and ideal for the Clean Slate Method.
