Great for removing oily buildup

I love this shampoo especially after days when I've been sweating in the sun or just want to do a hair reset to take all the extra oil out.

Great shampoo!

Super happy with the clarifying shampoo bar, it keeps my hair lush and helps with oily gym hair. I’ve been using ethique bars for several years now and I’ll never go back.

Excellent For Oily Hair / May Cause Dandruff

This kicks the oil right out of your hair, it’s amazingly effective. However, my scalp is substantially flakey after using this for a few weeks. I won’t continue to use it for that reason.

so stoked to have a clarifying shampoo in bar form!

This is my go to for my 1st step in my hair washing routine. I usually only wash my hair 1-2x/week but have gone longer at times. This never fails to leave my hair feeling squeaky clean, but also healthy and not dry. will buy forever!
