CHOOSING A CLARIFYING SHAMPOO FOR OILY HAIR
Many people use a clarifying shampoo every couple of weeks to get rid of the build-up of oils. How do you choose a clarifying shampoo for oily hair?
What does a clarifying shampoo do?
Clarifying shampoos are very deep cleaning – they help get rid of build-up on the scalp. This means dirt, styling product, grease, sweat and flakes.
So, if you have a particularly oily scalp you might find that you need to use a clarifying shampoo every now and then to eliminate the build-up – particularly if your regular shampoo doesn’t clean well enough.
One downside of clarifying shampoos is that they don’t normally contain many moisturizing ingredients; in fact, some don’t have any at all. This can leave your hair feeling dry and rough, and also leaves it more vulnerable to damage.
But by using the right shampoo every time you wash your hair, you can keep oily hair under control and still get great conditioning and shine.
