Impressed As a First Time User

I normally do not write reviews but as someone who has never used a clarifying shampoo, I am extremely impressed. A little went a long way. I did not expect to feel any different than when I used my regular shampoo. After one wash, I ran my fingers through my hair and for the first time in years it felt clean. There was no longer any slip from my previous product, and my edges (where I normally use edge control) were stripped of all the gunk. After styling was when I really saw the difference. My hair has been super dull and products that use to make my curls look great were no longer working for me. But after using this clarifying shampoo, I saw the life come back into my hair. I had volume again using my fav styling products and my curls looked so bouncy. So glad I took the leap and finally added this to my routine. In case anyone is wondering, I have fine and dry 3a/b-ish curls and I styled on soaking wet hair after washing using the new hydra-light styling cream and the light hold cream gel.

Awesome, Good purchase!

Price usually isn't a big factor for me since I rarely ever have to restock up on hair products, especially this one since I only use it once in a while. But this is a great clarifying shampoo, not too harsh at all but it cleans your hair very well. I like to use a scalp scrubber along with shampooing because it helps me get every part of my head. Smells great, very similar smell too all of their other products. I love it I have no complaints. I like to pair it with their super smooth cream conditioner.

BEST SHAMPOO FOR COILS!

I’ve been rocking my natural coily Afro for over ten years now. I have tried plenty of shampoos but FINALLY I am completely done with searching for THE ONE!
THIS shampoo is great for my type 4 hair. It does not dry it out at all. It makes my hair springy and happy. The smell is lovely and it suds up wonderfully. I have been using this shampoo for over a year now and I loveeee it, even with the price being higher than what I’d prefer. It’s worth it! Lastly, it helps with the detangling process because it doesn’t cause my hair to be dry and knotted.

First time

This is my first time using a clarifying shampoo after mannnnny years! The first time I used it, my curls just bounced right up. I haven’t seen my curls this good in years! I guess I had some built up product in there. Now I use this every wash day!!!

Deep Clean!

Not sure how they did it. But even though it feels super clean, still soft and moisturized. The pointed tip is absolutely genius. Gets the soap right into the scalp, where it needs to be. I feel like you end up using less.

Works great with my gray hair

As my hair has greyed and thinned, my old shampoo made it feel limp. It weighed down my already loosening curls. Bounce Curl's Gentle Clarifying Shampoo leaves it feeling clean and looking curly.

Best shampoo ever

When I decided to embrace my curls, I needed to find a shampoo that would support them.. The gentle clarifying shampoo was recommended by a friend and I have been using it ever since. It cleans gently, smells good and goes well with your other products. I recommend it to others all the time!

Must have, go-to shampoo

I cannot quit this gentle clarifying shampoo. I recommend it to anyone who will listen about me rave. It cleans and it smells incredible. I have been using it for two years and it is so gentle on the scalp. It’s my #1 go-to shampoo of choice.

Love the lather and smell

This shampoo is amazing, I know extreme lather doesn't clean better than soft lather, and I love the soft lather this shampoo has, It feels nice!

All the Perfection

I wash my hair once a week and I like to make sure I get a really good scalp cleanse so there’s no build up. Clarifying shampoo is a tricky game between a healthy cleanse for bouncy hair - and stripping your curls of life. My hair is very soft and fine, and this is absolute perfection! This shampoo creates a gorgeous leather with a small amount and my curls are so BOUNCY the next day. Makes me want to wash my hair more often to get that effect heh. This is my new go-to shampoo.

Must have

Perfect balance of moisture and cleansing. Doesn't dry out my hair and keeps my scalp from feeling itchy. I use this 2-3x/week and alternate between this and the moisturizing shampoo.

Michael OrLando

This product was very refreshing and it soothed the itchiness of my scalp. As a male, it smells great and enhances my curls completely. I have always struggled with products that are just right for my hair because they are either not geared for my hair with all the crazy ingredients or it's all for women.

Really Great Shampoo

The name speaks for itself! Very gentle yet cleanses so well. First ever Clarifying shampoo I’ve used that doesn’t leave your hair feeling dry after you rinse it out. 10 out of 10!

Really terrific shampoo!

I live in Germany where it's not so easy to find good curly hair products, especially those that are made of natural ingredients and free from all the garbage. I was absolutely delighted when I learned Bounce Curl ships here!! I cannot live without this shampoo, seriously. It is, hands down, the best shampoo I have ever used. And by the way, I am a recovering DevaCurl product user who suffered some serious damage to my scalp, experienced hair loss, and whose curl pattern radically changed due to the chemicals in that product line. Shame. Thank goodness Bounce Curl is here!

The BEST

Gentle and cleansing. I will sometimes add this to my scalp with the pure silk shampoo. Helps my frizzy hair!

Are you recommending the need to do the ACV rinse before using your clarifying shampoo too? TY

Bounce Curl

Hello,

To effectively reset your hair, we highly recommend using Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). Its highly acidic pH makes it a potent clarifier, much stronger than a clarifying shampoo available.

An excellent method to remove product build-up is by incorporating our Bounce Curl Turmeric Hair Detox into your routine.
