In Need Of A Thorough Cleansing - Clarify!


         Clarifying shampoo is a product used to cleanse your hair by removing the build-up of hair products that can remain in your hair, even after a regular wash.  It will help your hair retain moisture and leaves your hair feeling nice and soft.  This is a great treatment for your hair!

Make Your Own Apple Clarifier

          Using Apple Cider Vinegar makes your hair healthy and shiny, which also frees your hair from build-up.  Vinegar is slightly acidic and rinsing with it helps restore the balance of the scalp's pH to its natural state.

          Follow the ingredients below:
  • 1 to 2 capfuls of Apple Cider Vinegar.
  • 1 cup of water.
  • 3 drops of essential oil (peppermint or rosemary).
          Note: If you have long hair you may need to double these measures.

How Often Should You Clarify?

          If you use a lot of hair product and have hard water, the average person should clarify their hair 1-2 times per month.  If your hair is exposed to chemicals from the pool, you may need to clarify more often than others.  Using a clarifying shampoo is really no different than using any other shampoo, the only thing is that you do not use as much with each washing and you do not use it everyday.
  
      How Do You Use Clarifying Shampoo?

      • With about a nickle-quarter amount of clarifying shampoo work it into your scalp only with a light massage for about 60 seconds.  Depending on the amount of oils on your hair and build-up, the shampoo may not lather very much, but that is fine. 
      • With the same amount of clarifying shampoo work it through your hair. You should see lots of suds.   Letting the shampoo sit for  a minute  will help release the hair product build-up, rinse well.
      • The clarifying shampoo does not have moisturizer like your regular shampoo, so you may need to use a bit more conditioner than usual. 


      Hope your hair feels lighter and  cleaner... Happy Hair Cleansing!!
