"Don't get me wrong, the shampoo does remove residue. But it KILLS your hair. The problem is that it strips products out of your hair, and strips out moisture as well. I've used it for years, until I learned from my friend who is a professional hair stylist, that all you need to do is take one cup of water, one tablespoon of baking soda, pour on your scalp (not ends) and scrub... then take 1/2 cup of cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of water, pour in your hair, rinse with cold water. Baking soda is an alkaline and it can make your hair frizz, but cider vinegar is acidic so it closes the cuticle. You can follow it with conditioner (if you think you'll smell vinegar-y, which I've never experienced). My hair comes out super shiny and gorgeous every time... once every 1-2 weeks I do this and it works better than any other clarifying shampoo I have ever used.

I know that most people will feel iffy about that kind of method, but trust me. Ditch the clarifying shampoo, try this and you won't be disappointed."

It is the first review.

But once a month or so I also use a clarifying shampoo. There are much gentler versions than the Neutrogena-- I like the lemon clarifying shampoo by Avalon Organics. You can buy it at Whole Foods.
