What's the difference between a clarifying shampoo and a regular shampoo?
A clarifying shampoo, unlike a standard daily shampoo, is formulated with more potent cleansing and chelating agents. Its purpose is to perform a 'deep clean' by removing not just everyday sebum and dirt, but also stubborn buildup from hard water minerals, silicones, styling polymers, and oils. The BasicLab Capillus formula is the best shampoo to remove hard water mineral buildup because it works intensively yet gently, thanks to hydrating ingredients like urea and provitamin B5 that protect the scalp's natural moisture barrier. It is designed for periodic use to reset the hair and scalp.
How do I know if I have product buildup on my scalp?
The signs of product and mineral buildup are often mistaken for other hair issues. Key indicators include hair that appears dull and lacks shine, even after washing. You might notice your hair feels constantly heavy, limp, or greasy, and it doesn't respond to styling products the way it used to. An itchy or flaky scalp can also be a sign of buildup clogging the follicles. If your regular shampoo for oily scalp and volume seems to have stopped working, it's a strong signal that your hair and scalp need a clarifying reset to remove the accumulated residue.
How to Maximize The Effects?
Apply a small amount of shampoo to a wet scalp and gently massage with your fingertips to create a lather. Allow it to sit for a minute or two to let the active ingredients work their magic, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For oily scalps, use regularly (e.g., every third wash) to maintain balance. For sensitive skin, reduce frequency to once a week, alternating with a milder shampoo.
