Shop Clarifying Shampoos by Keune New Zealand
Clarifying shampoos are designed to deeply cleanse the hair and scalp, removing build-up from styling products, excess oil, hard water minerals, and pollutants. Unlike regular shampoos, which focus on daily maintenance, a clarifying shampoo offers a more intensive cleanse, making it an essential addition to your hair care routine. Keune New Zealand’s professional clarifying shampoos ensure a fresh, weightless feel, leaving your hair looking healthier and more manageable.
What Does Clarifying Shampoo Do?
A clarifying shampoo works by breaking down and lifting stubborn residue that accumulates over time. Regular shampoos may not always remove product build-up completely, which can lead to dull, lifeless hair. A clarifying shampoo provides:
- Deep cleansing to remove impurities, excess oil, and product residue
- A fresh, lightweight feel for hair that feels clean and refreshed
- Better absorption of hair treatments, allowing conditioners and masks to work more effectively
- Scalp detoxification to promote a balanced, healthy scalp
Who Should Use a Clarifying Shampoo?
Clarifying shampoos are perfect for those who frequently use styling products, swim in chlorinated pools, or struggle with excess oil. If your hair feels weighed down or looks dull, adding a clarifying shampoo to your routine can help remove build-up and restore freshness. This type of shampoo is especially beneficial for individuals who rely on dry shampoos and heavy styling products, those exposed to hard water minerals, people with oily scalps needing a deep cleanse, and anyone preparing for a colour treatment to ensure even pigment absorption. If you have dry or colour-treated hair, following up with a hydrating conditioner helps maintain moisture balance and prevents dryness.
How Often Should You Use Clarifying Shampoo?
The frequency of use depends on your hair type and lifestyle.
- Oily hair types: Once or twice a week to manage excess oil
- Normal to dry hair: Every two weeks to refresh the scalp without stripping moisture
- Colour-treated hair: Use sparingly and follow up with a purple shampoo or blonde shampoo to maintain vibrancy
- Swimmers and hard water exposure: Once a week to remove chlorine and mineral deposits
Pairing your clarifying shampoo with a hydrating dry hair shampoo on alternate washes ensures your hair stays balanced and nourished.
Can Clarifying Shampoo Help with Hair Loss?
A clean and healthy scalp is essential for hair growth. Excess product build-up can clog follicles, potentially affecting hair growth. Using a clarifying shampoo in combination with a hair loss shampoo helps create the perfect environment for stronger, healthier hair.
Does Clarifying Shampoo Work for Curly Hair?
Yes, but curly hair tends to be drier, so it’s important to follow up with a deeply hydrating product. Using a clarifying shampoo occasionally can remove build-up without stripping essential oils. Follow with a moisture-rich curl shampoo and conditioner to keep curls defined and hydrated.
How to Use Clarifying Shampoo for Best Results
To use clarifying shampoo:
- Wet your hair thoroughly – This allows the shampoo to distribute evenly.
- Apply a small amount – Massage it into the scalp, working it through the lengths.
- Let it sit for 1-2 minutes – This gives time for the formula to break down build-up.
- Rinse thoroughly – Ensure no residue is left behind.
- Follow with a conditioner – Hydrate and restore balance with a suitable conditioner.
- Use sparingly – Avoid overuse to prevent excessive dryness.
