Product Review: Suave Naturals Daily Clarifying Shampoo

I have used ALAFFIA Authentic African Black Soap-Lavender Ylang Ylang, CURLS Creamy Curl Cleanser Sulfate-Free Shampoo, Herbal Essences Wild Naturals Rejuvenating Shampoo, Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo, and other shampoos over the years. I would always give them away because they either had a stripping feeling to them or I just didn't need shampoo and would use Rhassoul Clay OR Mud Wash or Apple Cider Vinegar to naturally cleanse my hair. But this is my first time actually using a clarifying shampoo1

Let's see how this works out...

Product Name:

(From Tightly Curly)  

  

My Experience:

After my hot oil treatment, I rinsed my hair with warm water for a few minutes. As my hair is in 5 sections, I took a quarter size to cleanse my scalp of each section. I did not intentionally use the shampoo on my hair. I allowed the shampoo to remain on my scalp for a few minutes as I massaged to lift any product buildup. I rinsed my hair of the shampoo, allowing the suds to cleanse my hair. I continued with my washing regimen.

 

My Thoughts:

Clean, Clean, Clean!

...and that's basically all the shampoo did for my hair.

*sigh*

Although this shampoo is great for a clarifier, I would use this product maybe 3-4 times a year for a good cleanse. This shampoo does clean my scalp and hair of product buildup, however the product ingredients are atrocious! I had to look up each of these ingredients just to find out what was in this shampoo. I did not like what I saw.

I'll keep this in my hair arsenal, for now. But I recommend sulfate-free shampoos. This bargain of this clarifier is not worth it.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND
