When you shampoo you hair, and it becomes STRIPPED of it's natural oils, is this considered clarifying your hair of everything including products?? If so I have done this with a Suave shampoo and I actually liked the results. My hair was sooo wavy and coily!!

I don't think so unless it contains TRISODIUM EDTA.  That removes minerals and metals found in most hard water.

 

ETA:  But then again don't quote me on that.  What Suave shampoo are you using?

i use this suave natural thing and it makes my hair dry and then i have to deep condition and moisturize for my hair to feel soft.

Both of the suave thingys I have have Tresodium EDTA

Then I think it is pretty clarifying, I guess.  I know for me, when I used to use Suave shampoos, I never needed to clarify.  But then again I had to use a lot of conditioner to make my hair feel normal.

IMO, Suave shampoos are too harsh for black hair and tends to strip mine way too much. The conditioners are fine.

IMO, the BEST clarifier: your normal shampoo diluted with a little water and a some apple cider vinegar. I just washed like that today. It cleans the residue off without stripping the moisture out. I only do it once a month.

I used the Suave Clarifying Shampoo and it worked well, I use it once in a while when I feel like my conditioner isn't working as well as it should or when I start to feel buildup.

Wow, that's a great suggestion!  And inexpensive!
