How often....

[Guest]

Do you clarify?

What do you use: Clarifying shampoo, Apple Cider, or Baking Soda/water rinse?

Do you see the real benefits of clarifying weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly?

I do it monthly! I have to becuase of the petroluem on my hair.

I alternatre between Pantene Purity Shampoo and baking soda. I've found that baking soda is a lot gentler on my tresses.

If I remember, I do it about everything 3 weeks. I use a clarifying shampoo by Neutragena. However, last week I decided to mix baking soda with my shampoo and I liked the results much better.

honestly, i clarify whenever i think of it, which is about...every other month or so! i'm bad. i usually do an ACV. how do you use baking soda to clarify?

 

[soslychic]

Is baking soda really an effective manner of clarifying. I was thinking of trying it and that way I could dump the sls (or maybe als?)that is in suave daily clarifying. How much baking soda do you all use? Would once a week (everytime I shampoo with shampoo) be too often to use the baking soda?

 

[Guest]

I think most people mix the baking soda with water and run it through their scalp....

 

[babyblue]

I clarify with baking soda about 1xmonth. I either mix it with my shampoo or I do a rinse by adding a couple of teaspoons to a jug of water and then run it through my hair.

 

[Guest]

when you add the baking soda with water...do you use it before shampooing or after? are the results good?

 

[Marseeya]

currently I'm using vo5 clarifier and every seventh day or so. pending on how much vaseline and conditioners I used in the previous days. I'm getting very good results so far and haven't decided to space the time out further.

I use Sauve Daily Clarifying Shampoo when I get a lot of buildup or when my scalp starts itching like crazy. But I dilute my shampoo.

 

[Kaela]

I clarify approx. every two weeks, or sooner depending how my hair is feeling. I know I need to clarify when my hair feels 'gummy' when its damp (too much conditioning products) or when my ends are crunchy despite what I put on them (too much product on ends preventing moisture from absorbing). I use Joico Resolve, I've found it to be effective but also mild.

 

[inthepink]

Probably every 2 months though I should start doing it more often...

 

[karezone]

I try to clarify about every 2.5 to 3 weeks. I swim 2-3 times per week when classes are in session and the pool is open. I am afraid that the chlorine may be ruining my hair so next semester, I will be investing in a swimming cap.

I do the rinse before I shampoo. This way the majority of the buildup is rinsed away and then when i add my shampoo my hair is able to lather up better on the first attempt.

I actually clarify my hair with Neutralizing shampoo...it works great. I clarify whenever I feel my hair needs it, which is usually once a month.
