Well, it certainly does clarify...both the good and bad

This is absolutely the most drying shampoo I have ever used. It felt like my comb would break after using this. I understand that it is meant to clarify but I don’t think clarifying means stripping the hair of literally everything. Thoroughly disappointed, although I do believe that if there were a severe buildup on the scalp, this would for sure break it down. Not for the average clarifying shampoo seeker, especially not for those that require extra moisture or want hydrated curls.
