Why You Should Use a Clarifying Shampoo at Least Once a Week
Ever feel like your hair isn’t as fresh, bouncy, or shiny as it should be—no matter how often you wash it? That could be a sign of product buildup, hard water deposits, and environmental impurities weighing your hair down. The solution? A weekly clarifying shampoo!
At Iconic Hairdressing, we believe in giving your hair the best care possible, and that means incorporating a clarifying shampoo into your routine at least once a week to keep your locks looking and feeling their best.
What Is Clarifying Shampoo & Why Does It Matter?
A clarifying shampoo is a deep-cleansing formula designed to remove excess product buildup, oil, dirt, and hard water minerals that regular shampoos can’t always eliminate.
While your daily shampoo focuses on gently cleansing the scalp and hair, clarifying shampoos work on a deeper level, resetting your strands for a fresh, clean feel.
Top Benefits of Using a Clarifying Shampoo Weekly
✨ Removes Product Buildup – If you use dry shampoo, styling creams, or hairsprays, a clarifying shampoo ensures your hair doesn’t get weighed down.
✨ Prepares Hair for Treatments – Using a deep conditioning mask or colour treatment? Clarifying first helps your hair absorb nutrients better.
✨ Restores Shine & Volume – Excess oils and residue can make hair look limp—clarifying shampoos help bring back bounce and vibrancy.
✨ Fights Hard Water & Pollution – Minerals from hard water and environmental pollutants can dull and weaken your hair over time. A clarifying shampoo helps remove these impurities.
✨ Keeps Your Scalp Healthy – A weekly detox can help with scalp irritation, itchiness, and oil control, leaving your scalp refreshed.
How to Use a Clarifying Shampoo
🔹 Use once a week (or every other week for dry or colour-treated hair).
🔹 Apply to wet hair, focusing on the scalp and roots.
🔹 Use a clarifying shampoo as your first wash in your double shampooing ritual – This will deeply cleanse your hair and remove buildup, allowing your second shampoo (hydrating or colour-safe) to work even better.
🔹 Massage gently for 1-2 minutes to lift away impurities.
🔹 Rinse thoroughly and follow with a hydrating conditioner or mask.
