The Only Clarifying Shampoo I Use
I have prematurely gray, curly, thick, coarse hair, and the minerals in our hard water react with the heat of my styling tools to yellow the white/silver. I use this shampoo once or twice a week, depending on how often I style my hair with heat, and it takes the brassiness out and brightens the whit...

Changed the formula
Have been using PM clarifying shampoo for 10+ years - always consistent result: removes all the chemicals & minerals and left hair squeaky clean and fluffy - NOT ANYMORE. They've changed the formula and now it does not remove the minerals/chlorine/residue, not squeaky clean as before and my hair is...

Highly irritating ingredients
Hair Type Wavy Hair
The third ingredient-- Cocamidopropyl Betaine-- is a KNOWN irritant and allergen. The OLD formulation did NOT have this ingredient. The new version of this caused severe blepharitis (eyelid swelling and dermatitis) as well as severe eczema on my hands. I needed prescription steriod cream for both areas. Never again. All of these companies went "cheap" with their ingredients during the Covid supply chain crisis, and when that ended, they continued using the cheapo ingredients--while raising prices. Good riddence.
Works Without Stripping Natural Oils
Hair Type Straight Hair
I tend to alternate my shampoos throughout the week and I tend to use this clarifying shampoo the most. I have oily fine hair which can become flat and limp. This shampoo cleans my scalp without drying it out. It lathers but rinses thoroughly. I really like the light lemon scent which I can barely smell after showering. I wouldn't recommend using this everyday because it will cause the scalp and hair to dry out. Great price for the size.
Good shampoo
This is a really good shampoo. It does what it says it does— removes buildup. Yet, it's not too drying. My scalp and skin are hyper sensitive and this gave me no problems. If you find that this tangles your hair, use a good conditioner. My hair is very fine and with conditioner, tangles were at a minimum. I recommend this.
Why did you change the formula???
Hair Type Straight Hair
The new formula is completely different. Where is the rosemary leaf or the jojoba seed oil?? Ive been using this for years and its garbage now! Please bring the old formula back!!
Absolutely love
Ive been trying to figure out a good hair routine for my wavy hair so I had LOTS of product buildup and would always have flakes in my hair even after showering and just from one use of this product the flakes were gone.
