How does a clarifying shampoo like SOLU work

A clarifying shampoo is formulated with a higher concentration of cleansing agents than a regular shampoo, so it removes buildup from styling products, hard water minerals and sebum more effectively. This type of shampoo is not meant for daily use, since frequent clarifying can strip the hair and scalp of natural oils. It works well for anyone who uses styling products regularly, swims often, or notices their hair looks dull and feels weighed down despite normal washing. After a clarifying wash, hair is more receptive to treatments, colour and conditioning products because there is less residue blocking absorption. Most people use a clarifying shampoo once every one to two weeks, or right before a salon colour service. It is usually followed by a conditioner or mask, since the deep cleansing action can leave hair feeling slightly drier than usual.

When to use a clarifying wash and what to pair it with

A clarifying shampoo works best as an occasional treatment rather than a daily step, especially for hair that is regularly styled with mousse, gel or spray. After clarifying, the hair fibre is more open, which makes it a good moment to follow up with a nourishing conditioner. For dry or damaged lengths, a rich conditioner such as NOUNOU Conditioner for Damaged and Very Dry Hair helps restore softness afterwards. For normal to dry hair looking for shine and hydration, MOMO Conditioner is a lighter option that still replenishes moisture without weighing hair down.

Restoring moisture after cleansing

Because clarifying removes build-up along with some natural oils, following up with a suitable conditioner is recommended rather than optional. Choose based on how dry or damaged the hair feels: heavier repair for very dry hair, lighter hydration for normal hair.

Styling products to use between wash days

Davines More Inside is the styling range designed to work alongside cleansing and conditioning routines, offering products for hold, texture and shine. More Inside Volume Boosting Mousse adds lift at the root for fine hair that tends to fall flat, while More Inside Strong Hold Cream Gel gives definition and control for more structured styles. These products are formulated to be washed out easily with a normal shampoo, which is useful information for anyone deciding how often a deeper cleanse is actually needed.

Everyday hydration with OI

For those who want a gentler, more nourishing wash-day routine between clarifying treatments, the OI line focuses on shine and softness rather than deep cleansing. OI Conditioner is a good match for hair that needs regular moisture and detangling, and OI All-In-One Milk works as a light leave-in for finishing and frizz control. These are not substitutes for a clarifying shampoo, since they do not remove heavy build-up, but they support healthy-looking hair on the days in between.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I use a clarifying shampoo like Davines SOLU?
Once every one to two weeks is typical, or before a colour service, depending on how much product build-up your hair accumulates.
Can I use a clarifying shampoo every day?
No, daily use is not recommended because it can strip natural oils and leave hair dry over time.
Do I need a conditioner after a clarifying wash?
Yes, a conditioner such as NOUNOU Conditioner for Damaged and Very Dry Hair or MOMO Conditioner helps restore moisture the clarifying shampoo may have removed.
Will a clarifying shampoo remove my styling products?
Yes, that is its main purpose, making it useful for removing residue from products like More Inside Strong Hold Hair Spray or Strong Moulding Clay.
Is a clarifying shampoo suitable for coloured hair?
It can be used on coloured hair but is best applied right before a colour service rather than frequently afterwards, since repeated deep cleansing may cause colour to fade faster.
