The recommended frequency for using clarifying shampoo generally ranges from once every 1 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and buildup level.

• For most people, clarifying once or twice a month is sufficient to remove product buildup and impurities without over-stripping natural oils

• If you use many styling products, have oily hair, or live in an area with hard water or swim regularly in chlorinated pools, you might need to clarify weekly or every 1-2 weeks to prevent buildup and residue like chlorine discoloration

• People with dry, damaged, or color-treated hair should use clarifying shampoo less frequently-about once every 2-4 weeks or even less-to avoid excessive dryness and damage

• Some users with heavy buildup or oily scalps may use clarifying shampoo more often, but caution is advised as overuse can strip essential oils and cause dryness or damage

In summary, the best approach is to tailor clarifying shampoo use to your hair’s needs:

• Start with once or twice a month.
• Increase frequency if you notice buildup, heaviness, greasiness, or dullness.
• Decrease if your hair feels dry, brittle, or damaged.
• Always follow clarifying shampoo with a hydrating conditioner or deep treatment to restore moisture

This balanced usage helps maintain healthy, clean hair without stripping away natural oils.
