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!! ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

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 ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

| 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. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

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. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/SweetCocoa/ - http://public.fotki.com/SweetCocoa/ |
