How Often Should I Use a Clarifying Shampoo?
As a rule, clarifying shampoos are best used once or twice per week.
But every mane is different, so it’s important to use clarifying formulas at a frequency that works for you.
If your hair is prone to dryness, you might want to limit your clarifying shampoo usage to once per week.
On the other hand, if you routinely swim in chlorinated water or wash your hair in hard water, you may need to up your clarifying shampoo sessions.
On top of everything else they do, clarifying formulas can counter unwanted mineral accumulation in your strands.
Does Clarifying Shampoo Help With Dandruff?
Yes and no—the answer to this question isn’t clear-cut. Clarifying shampoos are hugely beneficial in removing oil, dead skin, product build-up, and other impurities that can irritate the scalp and cause dandruff.
However, you want to exercise caution when choosing your product and ensure that it’s suitable for dry, flaky scalps.
This is because some clarifying shampoos can worsen dandruff-prone scalps by stripping too much oil from an already dry head.
What Else Can I Do To Take Care of My Scalp?
Keeping your scalp healthy is crucial for healthy hair growth, but it’s a topic that’s never discussed enough.
Although we spend loads of time (and money) on products to style our strands, a lot of us tend to neglect our scalps.
Take this as your friendly reminder to pay your scalp some extra TLC. Your tresses will thank you.
Besides a deep-cleansing shampoo, you can turn to heaps of other clarifying scalp treatments—from scrubs to toners—that will also really help.
We strongly recommend making scalp care a regular part of your hair care regimen if you’d like to get your hair looking its best.
