Clarifying Shampoo

Why does it pay off to include a clarifying shampoo in your routine?

• Hair free of impurities is lighter, airier and maintains volume
• If hair is weighed down by mineral deposits from hard water, it will get its natural gloss and smoothness
• The ability to absorb moisture and nutrition from conditioners and masks will improve.

Why does hair need cleansing?

Standard shampoos remove impurities only partially – they focus especially on removing sebum. A clarifying shampoo cleanses really deeply though. It frees your hair of invisible deposits of styling products, minerals from hard water and leftover silicones or other insoluble ingredients of hair products. 

The result is light, airy hair absolutely ready for more care. If it seems to you that your products have stopped working, your hair greases up faster than usual or lacks volume, it's high time to give deep cleansing a try.

Pick the best clarifying shampoo

Deep cleanse clarifying shampoos for hair

Deep cleanse clarifying shampoo (also known as "deep-cleansing shampoo") contains strong cleansing agents which deal even with tough deposits.

Opt for it if you use styling products every day (hairspray, mousse, dry shampoo,etc.), if you have very hard water at home or if you often expose your hair to chlorinated water at the swimming pool.

Use deep cleanse clarifying shampoo once a week to once a month depending on your needs. Don't use it during every wash as too frequent application can dehydrate your hair and scalp. Afterwards it's good to provide your hair with extra hydration – a nourishing mask or hair oil, for example.

Clarifying shampoos

If you want a gentler version suitable for more frequent use, get a standard clarifying shampoo. It removes styling product residues as well as excess sebum, keeping the hair fresh and airy.

Using a clarifying shampoo once to twice a week ensures balance between thorough cleansing and gentle care. This type too should alternate with a standard shampoo so that your hair keeps its great condition.

If you're a fan of the Curly Girl Method, you surely know that deep cleansing is the first step. Deep cleanse clarifying shampoo will help you remove all impurities and silicones which could prevent wave definition and optimal hydration. Then you just need to use the clarifying shampoo or deep cleanse clarifying shampoo once in a while when your curls need a restart.

Tip: Treat yourself also to a scalp exfoliator sometimes. It will help remove tough impurities and dead skin cells, and promote microcirculation and hair growth.
