Clarifying Shampoo
It may well be that you have never heard of the term 'clarifying shampoo', but trust us, this cleansing shampoo is a real lifesaver. You might know the shampoo under the names 'Purifying Shampoo', 'Detoxing Shampoo', Detoxifying Shampoo', 'Scrub Shampoo', 'Deep Cleansing Shampoo' or 'Deep Cleansing Shampoo'.
What does a clarifying shampoo do?
A clarifying shampoo is a shampoo that will intensively cleanse your hair and scalp. Without you knowing it, unwanted substances will start to accumulate in your hair and on your scalp. These accumulated substances, which you certainly don't want in your hair, are removed by a clarifying shampoo. Hence, the translation of this shampoo is literally 'purifying shampoo'. A clarifying shampoo cleanses, among other things, the following substances from your hair and scalp.
- Residues of care products (such as hair tonic, conditioner, etc.)
- Residues of styling products (such as pomade, clay, etc.)
- Excess sebum (a natural body substance that can accumulate)
- Lime and mineral residues (e.g., from the showerhead)
- Chlorine and chemicals (e.g., from chlorine in the swimming pool)
So if you're wondering 'how do I get silicones out of my hair?' or 'how do I get build-up out of my hair?', then a clarifying shampoo is the solution.
What is the difference between normal shampoo and clarifying shampoo?
Clarifying Shampoo differs in many ways from a normal shampoo. Every shampoo consists of a formula of different ingredients. In this formula, there is only room for a certain number of ingredients. While a normal shampoo uses a combination of cleansing and caring ingredients, a purifying shampoo will only contain cleansing ingredients. This does not necessarily mean that a clarifying shampoo is very harsh for your hair, as some ingredients remain mild for your hair. For your hair condition, it is actually good to free your hair from the accumulated harmful substances from time to time.
When should I use a clarifying shampoo?
There are actually two moments when consumers use a detox shampoo. The first is when your hair looks lifeless, flat, and greasy. The second is when your regular shampoo can no longer remove the residues of care and styling products. To illustrate some situations, we list some examples below. You might recognize yourself in this.
- You regularly swim in a pool with chlorine. Chlorine has built up in your hair and on your scalp.
- You have greasy and lifeless hair
- Your showerhead does not filter water, causing lime to build up on your scalp and hair
- You use a lot of hair care and styling products, the build-up is getting bigger
- Your care products are no longer working well. This is due to a layer of unwanted substances around your hair.
How do I use a clarifying shampoo?
It is important to know that you should not use a clarifying shampoo more than once a week. You still want to continue caring for your hair, but this detox shampoo is really meant to thoroughly cleanse your hair.
Use the specific instructions found on each package of a deep cleansing shampoo. The following steps are often followed, but make sure to read your own instructions!
- Wash your hair with water only
- Dry your hair until it is towel-dry
- Take a bit of clarifying shampoo, the amount depends on the length of your hair
- Rub between your palms until the shampoo starts to foam

- Rinse out the shampoo and take a little less new shampoo, time for a second round
- Rinse out the shampoo
- If your hair feels dry, you can use a conditioner
