Yes that is what I was asking when I first learned about clarifying shampoo. Where had I been? All these years of washing my hair, I had never heard of clarifying shampoo. Actually all these years of washing my hair, I still subscribed to the notion that there were two types of products, those for "us" and those for "them" and if it wasn't in "our" section I wasn't using it. Well fast forward to a few years ago, searching the Internet for hair regimens to transition from relaxers, I learned about the importance of using clarifying shampoo to remove buildup from shampoos (how ironic right), conditioners and daily styling products. Imagine having a clean slate; that is what clarifying does for your hair. It allows your hair to be completely clean which in turns allow your conditioners to penetrate the hair shaft better and gives your hair a lightness and softness due to not being weighed down by product build-up. With that being said, the same goes for your hair extensions. Many times, especially when you first receive the hair, the best thing you can do is clarify. This will ensure that the hair is clean of any residue thus giving you a clean slate to work with (it is always recommended you follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to restore moisture).
There are many clarifying shampoos on the market but as you know if you keep up with the blog, I am all about brands that are easy on the pocket but are effective......hence....my pick for a clarifying shampoo.
SUAVE DAILY CLARIFYING SHAMPOO - affordable, gentle, and easily accessible. You can find it at your local
WalMart or Target.
* I don't recommend you clarify every time you wash your hair extensions, if you decide to do so, be sure to dilute with water to ensure you don't prematurely dry out your hair, and always follow up with a good conditioner.
