Review: WINNER! - Update: unfortunately the third time that I used this it caused a lot of irritation to my scalp. It caused me to have red bumps and a lot of itching. I love the shampoo, I love the smell, I love the way it makes my hair feel, but I can no longer use it due to the irritation, itching and bumps it’s caused on my scalp. Everybody’s scalp is different. I’m sure most people do not have this problem. I’ve been trying to find a shampoo to replace the other clarifying shampoo I was using because it became too expensive. I purchased a bottle of Odele and it was a great shampoo just not for my particular hair type because by the second day my hair was matted, my fault for not reading that it does have a moisturizer in it. After a bunch of research ChatGPT recommended Kristen Ess Detox and it is a WINNER! Cleans and clarifies but does not dry out my hair, will definitely be reordering. Review: So far so good - Well I mean I enjoyed how this product smells, how this product washes my hair it's pretty easy to use, it's shampoo, it really does a good job at cleansing and moisturizing my hair, it has an excess of ingredients though and I haven't studied, but it is a lot of them though, so that's my only concern, however it's pretty thick it's not no loose watery shampoo, it really did a good cleansing job, I think over all it's pretty good, I just haven't really checked the ingredients totally so. If you're a clean label credit you may skip this deep clean clarifying shampoo, I'm not sure because I hadn't checked all the ingredients but for now, this is a pretty good product. ## Features - “Sometimes you just need a fresh start.

It really deep cleanses, I have greasy thin hair and it makes my hair feel like brand new, fluffy but soft and clean. Stays clean longer. And it smells amazing like the smell actually lasts long after the shower which I love. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kristin Ess Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair & Build Up | Detox Purifying + Cleansing Oily Hair Treatment - Sulfate Free + Vegan - Product for Thick, Curly + Color Treated Hair - Kristin Ess Hair The One Signature Conditioner for Dry Damaged Hair - Moisturizes, Smooths, Detangles + Softens Hair - Sulfate Free, Color + Keratin Safe, 10 fl. oz. - Kristin Ess Hair Hydrating Salon Leave In Conditioner Spray for Strength + Shine - Lightweight Anti Frizz Detangler for Women - Sulfate Free + Color Safe - Castor Oil Moisture Bond Repair Spray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/182090885-clarifying-shampoo-for-build-up-oily-hair-and-hard-water](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/182090885-clarifying-shampoo-for-build-up-oily-hair-and-hard-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
