Product Description ✨

Struggling with dryness or frizz but find cowashes too heavy for your wavy hair?

Let the Come Clean Gentle Cleanser be the lightweight solution for moisturised, frizz-free hair.

Tailored for wavy and fine hair, this sulphate-free cleanser is powered by Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a gentle yet effective surfactant that cleanses without stripping away your hair’s natural oils.

It provides a light, moisturising wash that leaves your hair refreshed without the heaviness of traditional cowashes.

⭐ GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE CLEANSING
Formulated with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, this cleanser gently removes dirt and buildup while preserving your hair’s moisture, making it ideal for regular use on wavy or fine hair.

⭐ MOISTURE WITHOUT WEIGHT
Infused with grapeseed oil and wheatgerm oil, it locks in hydration, nourishes the scalp, and helps reduce breakage, while keeping your waves light and airy.

⭐ FRIZZ CONTROL AT THE WASH
The non-lathering formula starts the frizz-fighting process right from the wash, ensuring smoother, more manageable waves and curls.

Perfect for those who need moisture without the weight of heavy cowashes, Come Clean Gentle Cleanser sets the foundation for frizz-free, hydrated curls that look and feel healthy.

  • My curls look hydrated and more defined. Loving my new experience with these products! My hair is soft, bouncy and has definition. Found my go-to haircare line!

    RACHNA G.

  • I had run out of the cleanser and was using another product. After a few days, I noticed how dry & frizzy my hair felt. My scalp was also itchy. Going back to your cleanser has perked my curls up again. I have my shine & spring back. No more dull, dry, frizzy hair!

    Customer photo review of Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo

    This is my 5th consecutive year of using intrinsi curly me products, but only started using the clarifying shampoo last year. It is an absolute game changer! My hair feel so free and light after every wash!

    Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo

    Store owner replied: Hi Tilani! Wow — 5 years with IntrinsiCurly Me 💛 Thank you for trusting us with your curls for so long. We’re so glad you added the Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo to your routine — it really is a game changer for keeping hair light, fresh, and free. Here’s to many more years of happy, healthy curls! ✨

    Customer photo review of Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    This gel is smells amazing! It's thick enough to define curls & hold hair back in place but soft enough to keep hair feeling smooth after it dries down.

    Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    Customer photo review of Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    Best products ever! Hair doesn’t tangle as easily, soft and well nourished curls that easily last for 4 days without needing a refresh!

    Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    Customer photo review of Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    All the other gels I have tried before this have been too thick for my hair and have weighed it down. They have also left my hair feeling tacky and flat. I'm so pleased to finally have found a gel that is lightweight, smells like a summer’s day and leaves my hair feeling buoyant. And its low viscosity means I don't have to use as much each time. One bottle lasts me double as many washes saving me money! What a treat <3

    I love the definition the curly gel gives my hair. I also use the Peppermint co-wash and I’ll certainly be buying both products again.

    Customer photo review of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    My hair was badly damaged from color and store bought products. Within a month of using Intrinsicurly, my hair went from dull, lifeless, dry and damaged to shiny, bouncy, healthy and moisturized. My curls love these products and even on days when I am not using the full range, my hair still looks good.

    The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    Customer photo review of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    This has become my favourite conditioner. It leaves my hair silky soft. Most days, I have it on for only 5 minutes and it does the trick. But when I do make time to deep condition, I keep it on for much longer and love the results even more. I also LOVE the fact that it comes in such a large pot so I can get every last bit of it out with my fingers.

    The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    Customer photo review of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    This product leaves my hair feeling and looking hydrated which is what my curls have been asking for, for years!

    The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    Customer photo review of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    I was introduced to the IntrinsiCurly Me products at a hair salon that specialises in curly hair - the difference is astounding! My hair has more bounce; feels lighter but with more volume, and overall healthier and more lively. Since using the creamy conditioner, I no longer experience the hair loss and breakage that I used to, when detangling my hair. From the clarifying shampoo, to the co-wash, to the creamy conditioner, and of course the curl custard - Just Amazing!

    The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    Customer photo review of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner

    Intrinsicurly Me is the gold standard hair care for curly hair. It is better than any of the international products I've tried. I can see the difference in my youngest daughter's curly hair, we've used it on her since birth and her hair quality is fantastic.

    Customer photo review of Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel

    I absolutely love IntrinsiCurly Me products! I use the gentle cleanser, creamy conditioner, curl creme and curly hair gel. The cleanser does not cause build up like most other brands. The conditioner gives my hair a soft and healthy feel. And the gel... Well it's the cherry on top! It finishes off all of the hard work that curly hair requires. It creates the cast perfectly and holds my curls for days. I'm talking day 4 and day 5 curls! Combine it with a satin pillowcase or bonnet and your good to go.

    I have been using your Curl Crème for about 2 years now and my curls LOVE it! I have never had such defined, long lasting curls.

    Absolutely loved the products, especially the clarifying shampoo and curl creme. I was concerned that it would not work on my colour treated hair but I was so impressed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the Come Clean Gentle Cleanser, and how is it different from a regular shampoo?

    The Come Clean Gentle Cleanser is
    a mild, sulphate-free alternative to regular shampoo. It uses gentle
    surfactants to cleanse your hair without stripping it of natural oils, making
    it perfect for wavy and fine hair types.

    How often can it be used?

    It’s gentle enough for regular use. For wavy and fine hair prone to dryness, it can be used multiple times a week without causing damage or over-drying.

    Will my hair feel clean with less lather?

    Yes! While it’s non-lathering, the formula effectively cleanses the hair and scalp while maintaining moisture balance.

    Is it suitable for all hair types?

    The Come Clean Gentle Cleanser is specially formulated for wavy and fine hair that needs a light, moisturising cleanse without the heaviness of a cowash.

    However, anyone seeking a gentler shampoo alternative can use it.

    Can it be used on colour-treated hair?

    Yes, the gentle formula helps preserve hair colour by avoiding harsh, stripping ingredients.

    Will my hair feel greasy when switching to this cleanser?

    Some may experience a temporary adjustment period where the scalp produces extra oil.

    This usually balances out within a couple of weeks, leaving hair soft and clean.

    Do I need to use a conditioner afterward?

    Yes, we recommend following up with The One & Only Creamy Conditioner to ensure added moisture and softness, which will help detangle and nourish your hair.

    Can it remove heavy product buildup?

    While the it is effective for light to moderate buildup, it is not designed to remove heavy residue from products containing silicones or waxes.

    For that, we suggest using the Just To Clarify Clarifying Shampoo periodically.

    How does it compare to a cowash?

    It offers a lighter alternative. Cowashes can be too heavy for wavy or fine hair, whereas this cleanser provides gentle cleansing and moisture without weighing hair down.

    Are there any known allergens in this product?

    Yes, it contains Wheat Germ Oil, which may be an allergen for people with wheat sensitivities. It also contains Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Isopropyl Myristate, which are coconut derivatives, and Soybean Protein, which may trigger sensitivities in those with soy allergies. If you have known sensitivities to these ingredients, please proceed with caution.
