It may be time to use a clarifying shampoo if your hair feels like it’s no longer responding to all the moisturisers, stylers and products that used to work so well. Your hair needs to be open to absorbing them and if your hair has a layer of build up (product residue or silicones sitting on the surface) then your curls just won’t look or act their best. The first step to healthier hair is to distance yourself from your shampoo bottle, but occasionally using a clarifying shampoo that’s gentle enough for curly hair can do your hair and scalp a lot of good!
