Clarifying Shampoo

Hi Jeanie,I have very loose curls and I tend to be heavy handed with the styling aids... I must to keep the frizz down. However, since I use heavier products I must clarify! This is my routine:Monday-Saturday: Wash and Condition with ARTec Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner; Apply styling aidsSunday: Wash with ARTec Volume Shampoo and Condition with the Smoothing Conditioner (you could try the Volume Cond. for less buildup)Once a month: a good shampoo with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo. This stuff really gets the grime out, but my hair feels so dry right afterwards, which is why I only use it once a month.Also, even though I like to use lots of styling aids, I really try to keep my use of silicone products down. I do use a VERY small dollop (I must b/c of frizz) but I tend to gravitate more towards aids with moisturizing properties. I like ARTec Texturecreme and Dep Gel with Moisturizers!Sherry :)

Hey Jeanie,I never tried KMS's 'Phirst', but I heard that its a pretty good clarifying shampoo.One that I personally like is Joico's Resolve, it removes buildup.Normally you should use a clarifying shampoo twice a week, but I guess since you don't use styling products that often, probably just once a week.I know that this has nothing to do with the subject, but if you go swimming or something and need a good shampoo to remove chlorine, salt water etc. Aveda's Detoxifier is something that I tried once and loved!Good Luck!!You can find KMS and Joico at WWBeauty store, but I got the Joico at a salon in town.
