Not ready to commit to a full-size bottle? Smart. This is the try-me size of the deep-conditioning treatment curly hair keeps coming back to — small enough to test-drive before you size up, and easy to pack for weekends away.
TL;DR: The 130mL try-me size of Clever Curl Curl Treatment — the ultra-nourishing deep-conditioning formula for all hair types, made with a high proportion of certified organic ingredients. Use it as a deep-conditioning mask or a leave-in. Sulphate-free, silicone-free, vegan and Curly Girl approved. Perfect for first-timers and travel. Not suitable for co-washing.
Product Details and Benefits
- The try-me size: A handy 130mL bottle — ideal for first-timers testing whether this is their curls' match before committing to a bigger bottle, and small enough to slip into a weekend bag or gym kit.
- Deep-conditioning powerhouse: A specialised, ultra-nourishing treatment that goes further than an everyday conditioner, restoring moisture and softness to hair that needs extra care.
- For all hair types: Formulated to nourish every curl and texture, not just one.
- Two ways to use: Works as a deep-conditioning (DC) mask left in for up to 10 minutes, or as a leave-in for ongoing nourishment and definition.
- Certified-organic-rich: Powered by certified organic aloe vera leaf juice, hydrolysed rice protein for the perfect moisture-protein balance, panthenol (vitamin B5) and vitamin E.
- Clean formula: Sulphate-free, silicone-free and made without drying alcohols, carrying Clever Curl's allergen-free fragrance.
- Made with curls and the planet in mind: Australian made, vegan, 100% Curly Girl Method friendly, safe for coloured hair and refillable.
- Note: This treatment is not suitable for co-washing — reach for the Clever Curl Cleanser or a conditioner for that.
How to Use
As a deep-conditioning treatment:
- After cleansing with Clever Curl Cleanser, keep hair fully saturated with warm water.
- Apply from the ends up to the mid-lengths, glaze any remaining product over the hair, then distribute with a wet brush, roping or squish to condish.
- Leave in for up to 10 minutes, then rinse with plenty of water — leaving some in if your curls want it.
As a leave-in:
- After your conditioning routine, distribute through the hair with praying hands, finger raking or a wet brush.
- Scrunch upwards to encourage volume and definition, then air dry, plop or diffuse.
Pro tip: Keep the small bottle as your post-swim rescue. After a beach or pool day, work a leave-in amount through damp hair to help soften and re-moisturise curls left thirsty by salt and chlorine — far kinder than letting them dry out on the drive home.
Why You'll Love It
It's the low-commitment way to meet the deep-conditioning treatment your curls have been missing — try it once, and there's a very good chance you'll be back for the big bottle.
