Some things earn "classic" status for a reason. Clever Curl Cleanser in Classic gives curls a gentle, virtually lather-free wash and finishes with a soft, allergen-free fragrance that lingers just enough.
TL;DR: The Classic (lightly fragranced) version of Clever Curl's sulphate-free, no-lather cleanser. Built for the Curly Girl Method, it lifts oil and buildup without stripping moisture, so curls stay soft, defined and hydrated — with a subtle signature scent.
Product Details and Benefits
- Classic fragrance: the signature scented version, finished with a gentle allergen-free fragrance (prefer scent-free? the Fragrance Free version skips it entirely).
- No-lather, no-poo formula: cleanses the hair and scalp with virtually no foam, so you're properly clean without the strip.
- Sulphate-free and Curly Girl Method friendly: no harsh detergents to flatten, frizz or dehydrate your curls.
- Rich in certified organic ingredients: a plant-forward formula led by Certified Organic Aloe Vera to soothe and hydrate the scalp.
- Hydrolysed Rice Protein and Panthenol (Vitamin B5): help condition, strengthen and add bounce to every coil.
- Vitamin E (Tocopheryl): antioxidant nourishment that keeps hair feeling soft and cared-for.
- Clever two-step cleanse: the first pass lifts product residue, oils and environmental buildup; the second properly cleanses the hair and scalp.
- Made for all curl types: from loose waves through to tight coils.
How to Use
- Soak your hair right through with warm water — curls thrive on hydration, so make sure it's fully saturated to open the cuticle.
- Pump a little Cleanser into your palms, rub together, then work it through your hair and onto your scalp.
- Massage the scalp with firm fingertip tension to lift residue, oils and buildup. Add more warm water and scrunch it down to the ends.
- Rinse, then repeat — the second cleanse is where the real deep-clean happens.
- Rinse out with plenty of water, leaving your hair saturated and ready for conditioning.
Pro tip: Because it barely lathers, judge your wash by how the scalp feels, not by how much it foams — a small amount worked in with firm tension does far more than a big handful of bubbles ever could.
