Description

Sometimes you just need a fresh start. Kristin Ess Hair Clarifying Shampoo removes mineral deposits, product buildup, excess oils and even silicones that can build up over time. Use this Kristin Ess shampoo when you need a deep clean.


How to:


1. Depending on the thickness of your hair, squeeze a dime to a quarter-sized amount into your palm.


2. Apply to wet hair, massaging into the scalp to create a rich lather for a deep clean. Add more shampoo, if desired.


3. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary.


Tip: Always follow a clarifying shampoo with a super moisturizing conditioner or mask.


This Kristin Ess shampoo contains Zip-Up Technology, our proprietary strengthening complex designed to "zip-up" split ends while targeting weak areas of the hair, smoothing the appearance of damaged cuticles and helping to protect hair from environmental stressors and color fade, all while providing a deep clean.

  • A: If you have oily roots and dry ends you most likely have some product buildup and this will be a great shampoo to use 1 a week or whenever it starts to get oily. I have the same issue. Try to not put conditioner on top or use too much product in your roots!

    Just what i needed

    I purchased this shampoo after a hair stylist who cut my hair told me that she could see and feel my hair had hard water build up. I was worried about all the reviews stating people losing there hair so I was a little worried but I’ve only use this shampoo once a week since ive started and have had no issues with hair loss and my hair has been so soft and feels so healthy. I personally love the smell and am so happy i took a chance!

    Love the effective cleaning power!

    From the first time I used it, I was so impressed. It lathers well without using an exorbitant amount and I felt like shampoo did its job. My hair felt clean after this but not stripped like straw. I am so happy I decided to go with it. I’m really stating to not believe in salon products anymore. Love my olaplex though that stuff is gold 😊

    fantastic!

    I was recommended this because I was having issues with excess oil in my heavy, dark coarse hair. Because it's summer, and im constantly outside sweating, going to the pool, working at a restaurant, and all sorts of different parts of life, I needed something that helped my scalp feel clean and light again. It did just the thing! A double wash with a silicon scalp brush and a heavy protein hair conditioner after made all the difference.

    HAIR FELL OUT/DONT BUY

    This was not good. I kept wondering why all my hair was falling out and then found out it was this - just like the other reviews. DO NOT BUY. PLEASE. I lost a LOT of hair (clumps just falling out) and worried about when/if it will come back. Really concerning..

    best clarifying shampoo!

    The best clarifying shampoo. Thoroughly cleans even when my scalp is at it's oiliest. Your hair (especially the ends) will most likely need a little extra conditioning after using the shampoo.

    I'm a big fan of this clarifying shampoo! I was a little alarmed by how dry my hair felt after the first time I used it, but with a deep conditioner after it's awesome! I use it 2-3 times a month.

    clean head

    I really like this shampoo and the way it makes my hair act once it dries. It’s really thinned out since getting older and over 40. This shampoo has helped some but I also had to really scrub my scalp with a massage brush after it was dry and still saw dry flakes falling out so shampoo alone won’t get everything.

    Amazing shampoo for general cleansing and conditioning

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved testing this shampoo and it gave a nice, deep cleansing wash. I like the feel of my hair after using it and it isn't too pricey to continue buying it. I recommend it for a general purpose shampoo.

    Best for Oily scalp people

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scent so freshly. Hair feels light and cleanse. Value chipper, affordable than I thought. Good shine boots. Oily scalp or heavy products users.
