Clarifying Shampoos: Rehab for your Hair

By: Laura Miller (View Profile)

Now that I’ve heard my hair’s cry for help I can’t help but see that my hair pays for my summertime fun in the water and sun. Chlorine and salt can wreck hair havoc if I don’t vacuum pack my head into one of those oh-so-stylish swim caps on a regular basis. For the times that I forget my swim cap, Terax Latte Clarifying Shampoo ($20) will remove chlorine and salt buildup from my hair while keeping it soft with added silk proteins. Frequent swimmers should deep condition at least once a week, too, to keep hair in optimum condition. I like Tigi S Factor Serious Conditioner for intense conditioning and hair therapy with sunflower seed oil.

Stay Clean.
Coming clean does not come easy. I went a few days with shiny happy hair before I started hitting up the mousse bottle again. I felt annoyed and even angry at myself for relapsing on my hairy promises to stay clean. The thing is that I don’t have to banish the bottles to stay clean. I can still linger in the beauty aisles of my local pharmacy and I can still slap on the serums and sprays, just as long as I use a clarifying shampoo once a week to fight grime.

So, while you might think the last thing you need in your shower is another bottle of something, I highly recommend you squeeze in a little clarity.

My hairdresser (see: The Jehr Hair article) also reminded me recently that I should switch shampoos/conditioners periodically. Thanks for reminding me about Phyto, I used it long ago and loved it, so may try it again.
