Cleanse vs Clarifying Shampoo

Both our shampoos are designed to clean your hair.

But they perform very different tasks.

That’s why both should be included in your routine.

Here's your guide on when to use them...

Cleanse Shampoo

This is your go-to for regular washes.

It gently removes daily dirt and oil without stripping away your hair’s natural moisture.

Use when your hair just needs a refresh.

Clarifying Shampoo

A more powerful wash formulated to detox greasy, weighed-down hair.

Eliminates excess residue, dirt and oils.

Only use when your hair feels heavy, limp or full of product.

It’ll revitalise your scalp, boost volume and help your waves pop.

Tip: The Clarifying Shampoo can leave your hair feeling a little dry. 

Follow up with the Deep Conditioning Mask to replenish lost moisture and restore softness. 

So to wrap up…

Use the Cleanse Shampoo most washes for gentle, regular cleaning.

Use the Clarifying Shampoo once a month (or when your hair feels coated or greasy) for a deep reset.

Too much clarifying can dry your hair out.

So keep it to a minimum.

Just enough to keep your waves light, fresh and defined.
