Clarifying Shampoos: Why you need to get your hands on one?

Beyond your usual haircare routine, it might just be time to add this under-utilized but highly beneficial item to your beauty cabinet.
When it comes to hair care, most people think shampoo, conditioner, hair sprays and the occasional hair mask are all they need to get silky smooth manageable locks. While all those ingredients are necessary, they’re forgetting something else that’s just as essential: clarifying shampoo.
Much like how makeup removers get rid of makeup, oil, dirt and grime from the skin, clarifying shampoos work in the same manner for your hair. All those oils, styling products, shampoo residue and leave-in hair sprays pile up and block absorption of any of the products after a while. This is why a clarifying shampoo is necessary to remove the excess build-up of product, dirt and oil in order for your strands to recover and reabsorb moisture.
Now what makes a clarifying shampoo more effective than regular shampoo is that they contain ingredients to specifically clean hair and do not add any more moisture or conditioning agents after. While the product pretty much deals with all types of hair situations – oily hair, frizzy hair, hair destroyed by chlorine – it’s best to note that overusing the product will strip your hair of its natural oils and lead to dry, brittle hair.
So, if you don’t already have a clarifying shampoo in your shower cabinet, it’s time to add this amazing hair saver to your beauty must haves! To help you find the best clarifying shampoo for your hair, we’ve rounded up our top 10 picks in the gallery above.
