So-called because it's meant to be used once a week to prevent "shampoo boredom," Bumble and Bumble's Sunday Shampoo is considered one of the best clarifying shampoo treatments. In addition to removing product buildup and oil, it also helps get rid of environmental pollutants and mineral deposits, which is great if you live in an urban area with hard water. Taking a break from your usual shampoo routine and using this bad boy once a week also promotes detoxification in your scalp, as well as adding some welcome vibrancy to your mane.
This one's great for your budget and your buildup. It softens and smooths hair, leaving it squeaky clean, and it packs a major punch -- instantly removing up to 90 percent of the residue left behind from your other products. The shampoo also happens to rinse out easily, and it helps brighten dull hair -- not too shabby, right? The only thing is, it's quite strong, be sure to follow up with a good conditioner -- and be careful not to overuse it.
R+Co's cleverly named Oblivion Clarifying Shampoo has a gentle-yet-effective formula that will remove the excess product without removing too much of your natural oils or drying out your hair. Natural ingredients like rosemary leaf extract, tea tree oil, coconut oil, and Japanese witch hazel all work together to revitalize your mane (oh, and as a bonus, they all smell fantastic).
French pharmacy brand Klorane may be best known for their cult favorite dry shampoos, but their clarifying shampoo formula happens to be a star product as well. It does basically everything you could ask for, from removing hair-dulling calcium deposits, to protecting your hair from free radicals. The citrus pulp in the formula contains tons of amino acids and vitamins, which further help to promote a healthy mane.
In addition to getting rid of all your buildup, SheaMoisture's African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo works wonders on a dry, itchy scalp -- its included tea tree and willow bark extract all help with dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis. So, since it clarifies your hair and treats your scalp, it's a great way multitask and keep your hair on fleek!
