Let’s talk clarifying shampoo. They are usually more expensive and most of the times, not available off the shelf, and for good reason. Clarifying shampoos are really great for taking care of excess oil in your hair. But seriously, what IS a clarifying shampoo?
What is a Clarifying shampoo?
While the name “clarifying” might imply that the shampoo cleanses your hair, it does much more than that. Technically speaking, it is a deep cleansing, purifying, and detox shampoo, all in one. Think of it as a power washer; for your hair.
The best clarifying shampoo is one that removes all unwanted chemicals, oil and dirt from your hair. Due to its clarifying properties, it has more cleaning agents to thoroughly cleanse buildups, restoring hair to its normal state.
Not to forget that these shampoos contain surfactants so, they can be best used as pre-treatment agents at salons.

They can damage your hair in the long run and cause extra buildups. A clarifying shampoo for natural hair has it all covered for you to remove extra harmful buildups caused by hair-styling products. In experts’ opinion a clarifying shampoo should be used as a pre-treatment agent in salons before going for any treatment to tame dull and unmanageable hair.
