OUAI Detox Shampoo | Clarifying Cleanse for Dirt, Oil, Product and Hard Water Buildup | Get Back to Super Clean, Soft and Refreshed Locks 300ml

Product Information

If you love the that swishy, bouncy feeling a clarifying shampoo gives you, look out for formulas that can be used daily. We've included a couple in here from Aussie and Aveda that are safe to use on the regular. What's the best clarifying shampoo? According to Mouzakis, they’ll work in just one use. For the best results, let the shampoo sit on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing. And if you feel like you have a lot of buildup on your hair, you can even shampoo twice in a row, he says. Celebrity hairstylist Cynthia Alvarez agrees, noting that clarifying shampoo is especially helpful for those who use a lot of styling products. "Clarifying shampoos use a unique formula that works like a magnet to attract dirt, dissolve it, and flush it away with water," she says. "[Clarifying shampoo] is specifically formulated to clear buildup and remove any residue from styling products. It prevents bacterial buildup on the scalp, creates volume, thoroughly removes buildup, restores your hair’s PH, and prepares your hair for coloring services." How Often to Use a Clarifying Shampoo But, just as dirt, sweat and pollution can affect your skin, they can affect your scalp too. And, just like you use an oil-based cleanser to remove your makeup, sometimes you need something a little heavier to dislodge all that grime at your roots. Use DETOX SHAMPOO whenever a deeper cleanse is needed. Thoroughly wet hair from roots to ends with lukewarm water. Squeeze out excess moisture.

If you're looking for an effective formula that smells nice, lathers well, and gets the job done beautifully, we highly recommend this one. Suitable for all hair types, it works to deep-clean the hair and scalp by effectively removing excess oil, product build-up, and grime, leaving you feeling fresh and detoxed. The formula contains sodium laureth sulfate, a detergent that's known for its powerful cleansing ability and for helping to create a nice lather. Though sulfates can be stripping and aren't great for color-treated hair, you'll find that most clarifying shampoos do contain them as their cleansing abilities are hard to beat. This one also contains rosemary and sage extracts to stimulate and further cleanse the scalp. Blondes, rejoice! This shampoo also comes in a blonde enhancer toning shampoo option, which is perfect for anyone with lighter tresses. Thanks to this product, you don’t have to sacrifice your color for damage repair. When it comes down to it, we prefer the Olaplex No. 4 as part of the full Olaplex 3-step system. If you're just looking for a standalone shampoo - as opposed to a full system - again we would err on the side of OUAI and their Fine Hair Shampoo.In terms of ingredients you should stay away from, Alvarez warns that, for best results, "You should avoid parabens, silicons, sulfates, microplastic, and any animal origin ingredients." The Best Clarifying Shampoos

It's important to do what feels best for your hair. Everyone’s cleansing routine is different. Detox Shampoo helps to remove product buildup and hard water deposits. Use it when you feel like you need a deeper cleanse. Yes. Detox Shampoo is free of SLS, SLES, phthalates, and parabens. It is safe for all hair types, including color-treated, keratin-treated and Brazilian blowouts. From Influenster, on the Leave In Conditioner: “ On my 4th bottle of this stuff! I love how smooth it makes my hair look and feel… I always get compliments on how good my hair smells.” Ingredients: As with all beauty products, it's always wise to consider the ingredient list when shopping for clarifying shampoos. If you're in need of a super-deep clean and you don't find sulfates to be stripping, you might want to seek out a product that does contain sulfates as they tend to offer excellent cleansing benefits. If you have a sensitive scalp or you find that your hair is easily stripped, go for a product that replaces sulfates with more gentle ingredients, like apple cider vinegar. A great option is the AG Care Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo. If you have dry hair, you'll also want to consider choosing a formula that contains moisturizing ingredients like oils and butters to hydrate hair. Also look for strengthening ingredients such as keratin or biotin, which help contribute to hair growth and strength. OUAI bottles & caps are fully recyclable and made with 20% post-consumer recycled materials! This product is silicone, paraben, cruelty, SLS and SLES free.While we give the skin on our face plenty of TLC – with our multi-step morning and evening skincare routines – we don't tend to show our scalps the same love. Yes! Apply Scalp & Body Scrub first then cleanse with Detox Shampoo. Or mix the two together for a really great lather. When testing it ourselves, we also found that it made our hair feel super soft as Mouzakis mentioned. Those with dry ends did experience a bit of exacerbated dryness, but that's pretty typical with clarifying formulas. It did, however, effectively remove oil and grime and extended our blowdry by a day. It lathered well, felt soft when applying it, and left the hair feeling squeaky clean. The apple cider vinegar smell was a bit much at times, but that’s our only real complaint.

And what does swimming have to do with your hair? Dr. Friese explains, "People who swim often may need to clarify their hair more often to prevent the greenish tinge hair can take on from the chlorine. The same goes for ocean swimmers. A clarifying shampoo can help remove salt buildup on the hair." Whether your hair and scalp are oily, you live somewhere with hard water, or you just love going five days in between washes and loading up on dry shampoo in the meantime, you can benefit from a clarifying shampoo. Formulated with higher levels of cleansing ingredients, think of these products as shampoos on steroids—souped-up versions that are extra effective at de-gunking both your hair and scalp. Alvarez adds, "You should look for moisturizing ingredients like aloe, seaweed and wheat proteins. You also want to look for a shampoo that has physical exfoliation properties."

Reviews

We love Olaplex because it delivers results. The products work as they say, and your hair genuinely looks better even after just a single use. However, you get the best results when you use Olaplex’s entire system, which is quite spendy, especially given how often you have to use it to see results. After just one use, we noticed a significant improvement in the look and feel of the hair and scalp. Neither looked or felt greasy, there was no product build-up in sight, and we were even able to extend the period in between hair washes. Though it's a bit drying, we love that it's suitable for all hair types and we found that applying a nourishing hair mask after cleansing with this formula helped combat the drying effects. Intrigued? Here's what you need to keep in mind when it comes to investing in a clarifying shampoo... What is a clarifying shampoo and what does it do?

The formula does a great job of washing away grease while hydrating ingredients work to maintain a balanced scalp. If you have oily hair, then you know that finding a shampoo that effectively cleanses while also not stripping your scalp and causing rebound oiliness is key—this one fits the bill. Apple Cider Vinegar helps exfoliate and remove flakes, residue and build up, keeping hair healthy and shiny Take this option, for example, which boasts a litany of ingredients to get the job done. These include an anionic polymer that removes product residue, chelating agents that attach to dulling minerals in hard water, charcoal to absorb excess oil, and sulfate-free surfactants that clean without removing your color. During our test, we found that it left our hair smoother, shinier, and less frizzy. It also made the lengths more manageable, and of course, combatted excess shine effectively. For those in need of milder ingredients, she recommends looking out for cetyl-fatty alcohols as well as chlorides and bromides. The latter "can help make your hair soft," but she warns that "people with really fine hair may want to stay away from these ingredients."Best Overall Clarifying Shampoo for Buildup: Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Triple Detox Shampoo
