What is clarifying shampoo?

Clarifying shampoo is a type of shampoo that is designed to remove build-up from the hair and scalp. This build-up can come from styling products, hard water minerals, or pollution, and can leave the hair feeling dull, heavy, or greasy.

Clarifying shampoos typically contain strong cleansing agents that help to effectively remove build-up without stripping the hair of its natural oils. They may also contain ingredients like citrus extracts or vinegar to help break down residue and add shine to the hair.

It is recommended to use a clarifying shampoo once a week or as needed, depending on your hair type and how much build-up you have. It is important to follow up with a conditioner after using a clarifying shampoo, as they can be drying to the hair.

If you have color-treated hair, be cautious when using a clarifying shampoo as they can cause the color to fade more quickly. It is best to check with your stylist before using a clarifying shampoo on color-treated hair.
