How often should clarifying shampoo be used?

Clarifying shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse the hair and scalp, removing product buildup, excess oils, and impurities. Its powerful formulation makes it effective, but it can also strip the hair of its natural oils if used too frequently. Therefore, the best approach is to use clarifying shampoo only when necessary. This could be after a period of heavy product use, particularly after using styling products that can leave residue or if you notice your hair feeling dull and weighed down.

Using clarifying shampoo on a daily basis or every other day can lead to dryness and damage because it removes not just buildup but also essential natural oils. Similarly, using it once a week could also be excessive for most hair types, particularly for those that are already dry or color-treated. Resorting to clarifying shampoo sparingly ensures that it remains effective without compromising hair health.
