Review: Excellent Clarifier for Fine-Thick Hair That Falls Flat - Quick Summary I have fine but thick hair—lots of hair, but it tends to lie flat and get weighed down easily. This shampoo is excellent for resetting buildup and making hair feel lighter, but it won’t magically create volume on its own. It’s best used as an occasional reset, not a volume shampoo. Why I Bought It My hair isn’t thin, but it lacks lift at the roots due to product buildup, oils, and hard water. I wanted something strong enough to truly clean my scalp without permanently drying my hair out. How It Performs on Fine-Thick Hair ✔️ Removes buildup in one wash ✔️ Hair feels lighter and cleaner afterward ✔️ Helps hair stop clumping together ✔️ Improves movement and softness After using this, my hair feels freer and less weighed down, which indirectly helps volume—but it’s more of a clean slate than a volumizer. Important to Know • This is a true clarifying shampoo, not a volumizing one • Apply in sections to save hair & product • Overuse can make fine strands feel dry • Best used once every 1–2 weeks • Always follow with conditioner (mid-lengths to ends only) For fine-thick hair, spacing out use is key to keeping body without stripping moisture. Scent & Texture • Fresh, clean apple cider scent • Thick gel texture • Lathers well — you don’t need much Who This Is Great For ✔️ Fine hair that gets weighed down ✔️ Thick hair that lacks volume ✔️ Dry shampoo or styling product users ✔️ Anyone needing a scalp + buildup reset Who Should Skip or Use Carefully ⚠️ Very dry or damaged hair ⚠️ Anyone looking for instant volume without styling Bottom Line This shampoo won’t add volume—but for fine, thick hair that falls flat, it removes what’s holding volume back. Used occasionally, it makes hair feel lighter, cleaner, and more responsive to styling. Disclaimer: Not a stylist—just sharing my experience with fine-thick hair to help others use this the right way.
Review: Great clarifying shampoo when used correctly - This is one of the better detox/clarifying shampoos I’ve tried. It does a great job removing buildup from products, dry shampoo, and hard water, but I’ve found it works best as part of a double shampoo. I always use this first, then follow with a regular shampoo, and that combo leaves my scalp feeling really clean without stripping my hair. One tip that makes a big difference: emulsify it between your hands before applying. It lathers much better and spreads more evenly that way. I use it about once a week or every other week, and my hair feels lighter with more volume at the roots afterward. The scent is light and fresh, and it rinses out easily. If you use a lot of styling products or need a true reset shampoo, this one works really well when used the right way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the full list of ingredients? Hate when sellers don’t list them**
A: Aqua (Water, Eau), Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Acrylates Copolymer, Cocamide Mipa, Parfum (Fragrance), Polysorbate 20, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Vinegar, Peg-150 Distearate, Polyquaternium-7, Glycerin, Benzophenone-4, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium Edta, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Disodium Edta, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Linalool, Citronellol, Ci 14700 (Red 4), Ci 19140 (Yellow 5), Ci 61570 (Green 5)

**Q: Is this useful for "swimmer's hair"?**
A: It would help buildup - but I would get the authentic thing if I were you from the actual store. I bought this after trying samples and it is not the same. Make sure to get a nice deep conditioner with this as it may dry out your hair with too many uses. It’s so worth it though (the samples showed me that)

A: Yes it is sulfate free. It has no sls, sles, no parabens, no phthalates.

**Q: If I use a small amount, can I use this product every day or would that be bad for my hair?**
A: I use it every day and have no negative results

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best clarifying shampoo
*by N***A on July 18, 2025*

I have oily scalp and roots and dry ends (very long wavy thick hair) this shampoo works beautifully and I’ve tried a lot of different clarifying shampoos over the years but this one is a game changer! The texture is nice almost like honey, it has a very mild neutral scent, it did suds up a lot which is a plus and it totally changed my hair and oily scalp for the better and rinsed out cleanly. It managed to totally remove oil and build up but at the same time didn’t dry my hair out at all so now my hair is so much softer, shinier and has less frizz too. I only need to use this clarifying shampoo 1x a week but I found that during the other days my usual shampoos and conditioners work so much better now. This is totally worth the price in my opinion.
