    Curious to know if clarifying shampoos are worth the money, but should you just keep using a basic sulfate shampoo?

    I have checked several shampoos with clarifying title and they are all just regular sulfate shampoos

    In my opinion the best option is a clarifying shampoo + a conditioner

    These are really just marketing terms. When I was working on a shampoo project and our marketing people wanted a “clarifying” version of our shampoo, we simply increased the surfactant level by 1%. Change color, packaging, and viola! You’ve got a clarifying shampoo.
