Pantene
Clarifying Shampoo is probably my number one unsung hero. I mean, I use it
every week, but I’ve never told you about it. Does your hair ever feel greasy
and flat, even when you’ve just washed it? Does it seem to “get used” to your
favourite shampoo and stop performing as well as it used to? If the answer’s
YES, then it’s time for a Clarifying shampoo.
Also
know as “purifying,” “detox” and “deep-cleansing”, clarifying shampoos are
designed to remove stubborn build-up from your hair. Regular shampoo, dry
shampoo, hairspray, hair oils, hair masks, mousse, volumising dust... it all
builds up to create a nasty gunk!
Regular
shampoos are formulated to leave hair moisturised and shiny, they don’t contain
enough cleaning agent to remove nasty build ups. Clarifying/detox shampoos are
all about the cleaning! They contain fewer conditioning agents, and more
cleaning agents, giving hair a real deep down cleanse with zero residue.
There’s
lots of affordable clarifying shampoos out there, Herbal Esscences, Tresemme
etc, but a few years ago when my tresses were in need of a deep clean, Pantene
was one of the few accessible brands offering one. I use this once every week
to two, or whenever my hair feels weighed down. I use a generous amount and
work up a real good lather. My hair always feel squeaky clean afterwards with
no residue. My roots get their oomph back and my styling products are way more
effective. Ive just returned from a week in Greece. Although I love my
sun-lightened locks, my hair feels grim, weighed down by salt water and
chlorine. I used this as soon as I got back and my hair feels soft, clean and
shiny again.
