Can you do that? I was thinking of not using a clarifying shampoo and thought could I use a clarifying conditioner instead. With it being a clarifying conditioner i assume it has no mineral oil and cones right?
Clarfying conditioners replacing clarifying shampoos?

lamaria211 uses this this condish, it clarifies and chelates. I'm not sure if she uses it as a co-wash or not. It has a water soluble cone in it dimethicone peg-8 and parabens, if you care about stuff like that.

I love Avalon Organics Lemon, Shea & Babbasu Clarifying Conditioner. I thought it cleaned adequately.

IMO there are 2 kinds of clarifying conditioners:
Clarifying Cleansing Conditioner
and actual
Clarifying Conditioner
Wen, Hair One, etc offer cleansing conditioners that actually cleanse your hair. Shampoo & Conditioner in 1
For actual conditioners, I think they put clarifying agents in them to sell them as a duo w/ their shampoos.

I was thinking about the v05 kiwi and people raving about it, no mineral oil or cones, so I see nothing to coat the hair . One girl applied oil before putting it on. Then I read that someone said it actually left their hair dry and the suave was better mshoneyfly

O, ok, great point! I seal with coconut oil sometimes and Jane carter nourish and shine. You think the nourish and shine is too heavy to remove i will be back with the ingredients for that DarkJoy

DarkJoy never mind the first ingredient is shea butter, I will just finish that up and just seal with coconut oil and finish out my Quantum clarifying shampoo, do you think I can mix conditioner with it. I dilute it of course already but still so strong but the ingredient for nourish and shine for no reason at all is..... Butyrospermum Parki (Shea) Butter, Garcinia Indic (Kokum) Butter, Shorea Stenoptera (Illippe) Butter, Mangifera Indic (Mango) Butter, Citrus Limo (Lemon)*, Citrus Grandi (Grapefruit)*, Citrus Reticulat (Sweet Orange)*, Glycine Soja (Soy) Oil, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene (Squalene), Fragrance. *Essential Oils

Hey! Lilmama1011
Yea, I dilute mine! I should have said. Depending on how I feel, I either dilute or use with a cleansing condish, like this:
A teaspoon of 'poo in a large water glass and pour it over my head and work it in.
OR
Wash w/cleansing condish first, leave it on THEN put the clarifying shampoo on top of that straight. You can feel the shampoo breaking up the condish but the hair isn't completely stripped off feeling. It can be if you use too much 'poo, tho. Kinda gotta get a feel for what's enough

I think clarifying conditioner is still just a clarifying shampoo. It's just a marketing thing. If they say conditioner it implies its not harsh and stripping, and most people usually find clarifying shampoos harsh and drying on the hair. So they say clarifying conditioner because mentally we associate "conditioner" with being gentle and moisturizing. It's just marketing and word association I think.

I am going to try a clarifying conditioner when I finish using up my bottle of tresseme shampoo. Probably Hair One

venusfly I think it's a big difference. If you check the ingredients they don't compare to a clarifying shampoo, it has a lot of sulfates. The clarifying conditioner has minor cleaner agents. If i had to put in order from strongest to weakest cleaning i would say, clarifying shampoo, moisturizing shampoo, clarifying conditioner, and then cleansing conditioner being the weakest in cleansing. Even though the v05 I'd cheap it doesn't have sulfates but the citrus acts as a natural cleansing agent, but then again I'm pretty sure you may find some sulfates in some clarifying conditioners like you do in some regular conditioners

Just tried the V05 kiwi clarifying conditioner and I love. It reminded me of a cleansing conditioner. It felt clean but not stripped, it's a keeper I thought it would strip because it says clarify, glad it didn't
