Clarifying Shampoo

CG shampoo

Not all shampoos are created equal. Styling products, pollution, dead skin cells and sebum all cause scalp buildup.

If your hair is limp, greasy and dull, or if you just feel that your normal shampoo is not enough, then it is time to switch to a clarifying shampoo.

What is a clarifying shampoo?

A clarifying shampoo cleanses your hair of everything, so you can literally start your hair routine with a clean slate. There are more ingredients in a clarifying shampoo than in a normal shampoo.
Basically, clarifying shampoos are strong cleansers for your curly hair.

How to use a clarifying shampoo

There are no rules about how often you can clarify your hair. Many people use clarifying shampoo once a week, others wash with clarifying shampoo once a month.

When is a clarifying shampoo relevant for my curly hair?

Trying a clarifying shampoo will help you find out what works best for your curls. Are they dull, dry, lifeless or do you have split ends? Then it is time!

Deep cleanse your curls

In time, you will know exactly when it is time to use a cleansing shampoo for your curls and to provide a deep clean for your curls.

The many benefits of using a clarifying shampoo

If you go to the beach and swimming pool a lot in the summer, you might need to use it more often and clean your hair more thoroughly. This is to wash all the sand, sea salt, sun cream, chlorine and other unwanted substances out of your hair.

After you have clarified your hair, it is best to use a deep conditioner. It can make your hair quite stiff. Then follow your normal styling routine.

In the end, you will notice a big difference in the quality of your hair if you use clarifying shampoos.

Because a clarifying shampoo can absorb 100 to 200 times its weight in impurities, a clarifying shampoo is a useful tool to remove dirt, flakes and oil from our scalp and hair. This also gives an instant fresh and clean feeling.

Use clarifying shampoos to wash build-up out of your hair

Are your styling products not doing their job? Then you might want to try using a clarifying shampoo.

Build-up is not only caused by hair products containing silicones. Sweat, natural oils, pollution and exposure to external environments can also cause it.

And a co-wash is usually not strong enough to remove it. A deep cleansing shampoo can prevent this. Also, if your hair is very dry or oily, it is useful to use a clarifying shampoo regularly. That way, the shampoo for curls will help you keep your hair beautiful and healthy.

Can I use a clarifying shampoo with coloured hair?

If you want to avoid your new hair colour being washed down the drain straight away, make sure you don’t overdo it and don’t wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo within the first week.

Clarifying shampoo vs dry shampoo

People often confuse clarifying shampoo with dry shampoo because they associate both with removing excess oil and reducing greasy hair.

In fact, that is what they both do but clarifying shampoos are designed to be used on wet hair and offer long-term benefits for hair health.

Dry shampoos immediately absorb excess oil for a short period of time. A dry shampoo is therefore perfect for travelling and going to festivals.
