I plan to use Nature's Blessing Hair Grease soon (I'm buying it on friday from the BSS)...and since mineral jelly cloges pores, I also plan to wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo every week. ... of course it will stay deep conditioned, regular conditioned and have a daily leave in...

I was wondering if this is too often to clarify. I do use a lot of products in my hair.

I think I would prefer to use fewer products and a milder shampoo - then clarify once every 2 weeks or once a month.  My hair doesn't like being loaded up with stuff and then suddenly stripped dry too often.

I wouldn't clarify once a week.  I would do it every two weeks at the most.  Doing it that often may strip your hair especially if you're using a clarifing shampoo.  ACV would probably be more gentle, it's the only thing I use.

Using a clarifying shampoo weekly might make your hair too fluffy and soft and not in a good way.
