A clarifying shampoo is a hair care product designed to deeply cleanse the hair and scalp by removing product buildup, excess oils, and impurities. It is formulated with unique ingredients, such as sulfates or surfactants, that are more concentrated and have higher pH levels than regular shampoos, making them more effective at cleansing. Clarifying shampoos are recommended for those who use heavy styling products regularly, swim in chlorinated pools, or have hard water in their area. However, they should not be used too often as they can strip away natural oils and lead to dryness if overused
. It is generally recommended to use a clarifying shampoo one to four times a month to revitalize the hair and scalp
. It's important to note that clarifying shampoos should not be used daily, as they can make the hair dry and dull, and may not be suitable for color-treated hair
