Olaplex 4C

I use the suave daily clarifying shampoo every day and it works great. (Also I don't feel like it "strips" my hair, but ymmv.)

Works for me!

+1 One a month is perfect.

I use Malibu for hard water. There's also one for blondes, swimmers, scalp therapy, etc.

Isn’t it harsh though?

Not as harsh as it used to be. The new formulas are more gentle, and I think they even have specific gentle formulas. I have blonde highlights, so technically treated and I dont notice anything bad. I don't use it weekly though, my hair is generally dry. But probably every other week. I like the green apple one!

Neutrogena clarify and shine (grapefruit) is as close as I can find to the original anti-residue formula. It’s also very reasonably priced.

K18's detox shampoo

Another vote for Ouai detox. Smells so good and a little goes a long way so I don’t feel so bad spending the money on it

Suave (easy to find, clarifying without being too harsh), Prell (a bit harsh but I love the literally squeaky clean feel, my hair does squeak after rinsing it off), Herbal Essences Chamomile (least harsh while clarifying but hard to find, rose is ok but not as clarifying)

What?!??? Is that why I haven’t been able to find it??

They discontinued my favorite moisturizer too. Not the company it used to be.

I'm another one who laments the loss of the Neutrogena clarifying shampoo. It was great. I saw that someone was selling a bottle on Amazon for $55, which is nuts, but shows how popular it was.

Another recommendation for Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo, it's my holy grail.

Are you sure it’s discontinued? Still on their website.

I don’t use it every week, but the Ouai Detox Shampoo.
