Why you'll love it

A clean start, without the strip. Wash day decides everything that follows. If your cleanser leaves your hair squeaky and tight, no amount of cream or gel afterwards will fix it. This pair lifts the buildup properly and puts the moisture straight back, so your curls come out of the shower soft, detangled and ready to style before you touch a styling product.

Gentle Clarifying Shampoo
A true clarifier that does not behave like one. Pomegranate and pumpkin ferments work alongside a blend of mild sugar-derived cleansers to lift oil, sweat and product buildup off your scalp and lengths, without the stripped, squeaky feeling that sends curls straight into frizz. Baobab protein, biotin and pro-vitamin B5 stay behind. Gentle enough for every wash, strong enough to reset hair that has gone flat and weighed down.

Super Smooth Cream Conditioner
Organic aloe leads this formula, not water. It is a lightweight cream that detangles on contact, so knots slide out under your fingers instead of snapping. Marshmallow root, green tea, nettle, horsetail and sage add slip and shine without buildup. Level 1 moisture, which means hydration you can feel and never weight you have to wash back out.

What makes it different

  • It is a matched pair. The shampoo is calibrated to what the conditioner puts back, which is why hair comes out soft rather than either coated or stripped. No guessing at how to balance two brands.
  • Light moisture, on purpose. If rich masks leave your curls limp and greasy by day two, this is the level you want. Fine hair, wavy hair and low porosity curls do especially well here.
  • Detangling is the point. Most breakage happens in the shower. The conditioner is built for slip so you can work through knots with your fingers or a wide tooth comb while it is still in your hair.
  • Safe for regular use. The shampoo is gentle enough to use every wash rather than saving it for a monthly reset, so buildup never gets the chance to accumulate.
  • Clean, naturally made ingredients. No sulfates, silicones, parabens or phthalates. Both formulas are scented with essential oils rather than added fragrance. Vegan, colour safe and never tested on animals.
  • Authorised Australian stockist. Genuine Bounce Curl, shipped from our Gold Coast warehouse, backed by qualified curl specialists who use these products in the salon every day.

Worth knowing before you buy: this is Level 1, light moisture. If your hair is coarse, high porosity or very dry, you will likely want a richer conditioner or a deep treatment alongside it rather than instead of it. The scent is a warm citrus, lavender and vanilla note that comes from the essential oils in the formula.

Protein free. Organic aloe is the first ingredient rather than water. Behentrimonium methosulfate does the detangling, marshmallow root and chamomile add slip, and broccoli seed oil gives shine that silicone usually has to fake.

Across both
Free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates and artificial fragrance. Colour safe, vegan and never tested on animals. The conditioner is completely protein free and the shampoo carries only a light baobab protein, so the pair suits protein-sensitive curls.

How to use

Your wash day routine

Step 1: Gentle Clarifying Shampoo
Wet your hair thoroughly, then apply the shampoo directly to your scalp rather than your lengths. Massage with the pads of your fingers, not your nails, and let the suds rinse down through the lengths on their own. Repeat if your hair has not been washed in a while or feels heavily coated. It is gentle enough to use at every wash.

Step 2: Super Smooth Cream Conditioner
Apply generously through the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots. Detangle while it is still in your hair, working from the ends upwards with your fingers or a wide tooth comb. Never drag a comb from the roots down through a knot.

Step 3: Rinse
Rinse with cool water to help the cuticle lie flat. For extra softness, leave a small amount of conditioner in the lengths rather than rinsing it all out, then style over the top on soaking wet hair.

Step 4: Style
Go straight into your styling products while your hair is still dripping. Waiting until it is damp is the most common reason definition does not hold.

How often
Most curls do well on one or two washes a week. If your scalp gets oily quickly, or you use heavier butters and oils, wash more often rather than stretching it out. Buildup is what makes curls go limp and stringy.

Get more from it

  • Squeeze excess water out with a microfibre towel or an old cotton tee, never a regular bath towel.
  • If your hair feels dry after washing, follow the conditioner with a deep treatment rather than skipping the shampoo.
  • Add a leave-in conditioner on soaking wet hair for extra slip before styling.
  • Do not skip the scalp massage. Most of the cleaning happens there, not in the lengths.

Customers said this duo delivers excellent moisture and detangling for curly hair. "A little goes a long way" with the concentrated formula. The shampoo lathers well and clarifies without stripping or drying, while the conditioner provides amazing slip. Some noted fragrance sensitivity for sensitive scalps, though most love the scent.

Both smell amazing! I can get the shampoo to lather nicely without having to shampoo multiple times which is good, and the conditioner is concentrated and good detangling with only a small amount

If I could give this duo 10 stars I would.
Years and years of struggling with knotty, curly hair. After only a few uses my hair is no longer dry and no longer gets big knots. The hair is left super smooth and hydrated. My curls are also way more bouncy and defined. No oily or thick residue left on hair after washing. My only complaint would be the fragrance in the products are a bit irritating for my sensitive scalp. But it’s well worth the end result for my hair!!

Love the smell! First shampoo that I’ve tried that helps detangle & doesn’t strip my hair (I have 3a/b curls). My scalp really feels clean afterwards. A little product goes a long way. I’m a customer for life!!! I only wish it came in a bigger size.

Clarifying Shampoo is the first ever that I have tried that hasn't dried my hair out terribly and I use a decent amount. Nothing like the many others I have tried. I am very much in love with this shampoo. I use it once a week. It just leaves my hair feeling so bouncy and clean. I just love it. I dont think I could use it more than once a week, but I dont need to anyway. I just use my co-wash inbetween. What a great product!

This stuff really gets my hair clean but it doesn't leave my hair feeling dull, dry, or stripped. Smells amazing and I love the nozzle for some reason! I like to alternate wash days with this shampoo and the medium moisturise shampoo to maintain my high porosity hair. I seriously love these.

The slip is amazing! The moisture is incredible! Wash day is crucial for us curly girls and the medium moisture kit is absolutely perfect for me. My hair loves it! I love refreshing day 2, 3, 4, and 5 hair with a little bit of this conditioner and with the gel using the praying hands method and it never fails. People have stopped me while I'm out and about asking me how I get my hair like this (super defined, shiny, and full of bounce). Two words. .. Bounce Curl

Hello all, I have extremely curly/ kinky curly hair. I have used many different products but I have to say this Creamy Conditioner is by far the best I have used in my hair! This nourishes my curls extensively, detangles my hair and reduces frizz!! I HIGHLY reccomend this products, a little bit goes a LONG way!!!!

My hair was super dry, and I started the curlygirl method last March. It moisturised my hair so much. I stopped using it for a while because it was a little pricey, but quickly turned back to Bounce Curl after my hair regressed using other products. My hair eventually became so healthy that I didn't even need to use anything after washing/conditioning. Let my hair air dry and it was as if I used gel. Super defined, soft curls.

Amazing results. The scent is pleasant, leave curls nice and silky. I am pleased with the results and looking for more positive results.

I've been using the Bounce Curl products for after shampoo and conditioning but wasn't getting the results I wanted. After researching the curly girl method and ingredients to stay away from, I found that those were in my standby shampoo(s) and conditioner. What a difference!!! My hair is more responsive and feels healthier. Old ones in the bin.

I am not one to find a shampoo I like enough to re buy but this one has changed my mind on that! It does an amazing job clarifying my scalp without drying it out. I was struggling with eczema on my scalp and this has kept it away and helps volumise my hair. If you're looking for a shampoo that will treat your scalp right without drying your hair out, this is a great choice.

Bounce Curl Gentle Shampoo + Conditioner Duo

This is absolutely the BEST clarifying shampoo I've tried. It effectively cleanses my low-porosity curls from oil build-up without over moisturising my hair, leaving my hair clean and balanced. It lathers nicely and even detangles my hair. I use it once a week and can't see myself using any other cleanser. Plus, a little goes a long way, so one bottle will last you quite a while!

Bounce Curl Gentle Shampoo + Conditioner Duo

It foams up really well and you barely have to use any. I felt like it was easy to distribute and my scalp felt incredibly clean without feeling stripped. The most amazing part though is the fact that using this shampoo immediately made my curls bounce up even though they were soaked with water. I've never had any product do that, let alone a shampoo! I started with only this product, but I'm ready to buy the entire line!

This conditioner is absolutely the best I've ever tried! The moment it touched my curls it was instant moisture and I was able to finger detangle my curls effortlessly. I have thick 3B curls and I was surprised that it didn't take much to moisturise all my curls. Highly recommend this if you're on the fence about it!

I have fine, wavy, low porosity hair and I use this clarifying shampoo 3 times a week; it is not stripping or drying. My hair feels clean, light and fresh. The scent is delicious. The health of my hair has improved dramatically since switching to Bounce Curl products.

Mila
Bounce Curl Gentle Shampoo + Conditioner Duo

The conditioner melts away the tangles. I leave it on in the shower for about 3-5 minutes and then rinse it out completely. Curls are so soft for days! it says it is the required moisture that all curls need. I have curls that can be weighed down easily if I have too much product in it. This does not weigh my curls down and is just right. Smells lovely and am on my second bottle.

Just tried this conditioner for the first time and I absolutely love it!! It’s so moisturising for my dry curls and helps me detangle my thick hair quickly! I recently fully transitioned to natural and am trying to build up my arsenal of go-to products, this is my first definite keeper!! 😍

Love this conditioner, it makes my hair super slippy without having to use too much. Has a great smell although seems like I am running out quickly. I wash my hair every 3-4 days. After the first use, I saw curls I have never seen before. Love it. Probably wont use another conditioner!
