Best clarifying shampoos to de-gunk your hair and scalp

Best clarifying shampoos to de-gunk your hair and scalp

Here’s how you should detox your scalp for your healthiest head of hair

Much like the skin on your face, the skin on your scalp deserves the same amount of TLC. While regular shampoo is sufficient to get rid of oil and sweat produced daily, it doesn’t slough away impurities and product build-up. This is why it’s important that you incorporate a clarifying shampoo into your shower routine to ensure a deeper and more thorough cleanse. Of course, we don’t recommend that you use these shampoos in your daily shower routine, but especially when you’re living in a humid climate like Singapore, you’d want to give your scalp that much-needed deep cleanse at least once a week.

For some of our favourite must-haves that work wonders in de-gunking your hair, keep on scrolling.

Detox Shampoo, $52, Ouai from Sephora

Most clarifying shampoos are made without sulfates, which are what’s responsible for creating that rich, soapy lather. However, in Ouai’s Detox Shampoo, you’ll find that you can easily lather the shampoo. What’s more, the shampoo also removes product buildup and impurities while apple cider vinegar helps exfoliate and remove flakes. Great for all hair types and textures, even those with coloured and keratin-treated hair, you can slowly incorporate it into your routine by using it once a week to get rid of all the gunk in your hair and follow up with a rich conditioner to smoothen and tame your ends.

Christophe Robin Clarifying Shampoo, $40, Christophe Robin from Shopee

This amazing clarifying shampoo does more than just deeply cleanse – it also transforms the appearance of highlighted and natural hair using chamomile and cornflower extracts. With frequent use, natural hair is gradually lightened by the sun, meaning you can skip the regular salon visits and harsh products. For recently coloured hair, this shampoo helps to eliminate residue and excess pigments, so you can stop having to bleach your towel so often.
