I don't clarify as often as I suggested above, but then again I don't use styling products. I clarfy as needed. | | | November 16th, 2005, 04:49 PM | #5 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: BFE Posts: 7,970 Length: 18"?/36"/40" Type: 1c/2a/M/ii | | Re: Shampooer's - How Often Do You Clarify? | | I clarify as often as I think I need it or I think about doing it  I haven't used styling products like sprays, gels, or mousses in several years but I do sometimes use a leave in conditioner, an oil, or a silicone glossing product. The oftenest I've done it in the last 2 years is probably once a month. | | | November 16th, 2005, 05:03 PM | #6 | | Moderator Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Eastern US Age: 35 Posts: 3,613 Length: waist/cls/cls Type: 2a/2b/M/C/iii | | Re: Shampooer's - How Often Do You Clarify? | | I clarify (with Neutrogena antiresidue, which is rather drying) when my scalp gets too itchy/oily. That works out to be about monthly. --physicschick | | | November 16th, 2005, 05:06 PM | #7 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NW Arkansas Age: 43 Posts: 1,200 Length: 24.5/32.75/Long Type: 3c/F/M/iii | | Re: Shampooer's - How Often Do You Clarify? | | I use gel that has a small amount of cones and I clarify about every 2-3 weeks. __________________   "While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats." -Mark Twain "Love all, trust a few.

Yes, it's drying, but it does get that ookie stuff out of my scalp. | | | November 16th, 2005, 07:21 PM | #9 | | Moderator Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Eastern US Age: 35 Posts: 3,613 Length: waist/cls/cls Type: 2a/2b/M/C/iii | | Re: Shampooer's - How Often Do You Clarify? | | Quote: | Originally Posted by DreamerTheresa I clarify every month or every month and a half with the Neutrogena stuff.

When my regular shampoo quits working, one or two washes with Neutrogena will remove the oily gunk from my scalp and restore it to normal. Sounds like your scalp is a lot like mine. --physicschick | | | November 16th, 2005, 08:32 PM | #10 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Atlanta, GA Age: 30 Posts: 92 Length: ?/29/40 Type: 2b/2c/M/ii/iii | | Re: Shampooer's - How Often Do You Clarify? | | Quote: | Originally Posted by physicschick I didn't mean to knock the Neutrogena stuff--I actually love it!

But it is drying. ;P | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
