Removes product buildup effectively
Leaves hair squeaky clean

What they flagged

Intense formula requires spacing out use

What the gurus are saying

Hair feels squeaky clean and stripped of buildup after use, which is why the gurus recommend using it sparingly, around once or twice a month depending on how many products you layer on your scalp. Those who have tried it praise how effective it is at the job, though the intensity means you may want to follow up with a hair mask to restore moisture afterwards.

"I will use a Clarifying Shampoo this one like twice a month probably. I try not to use it too much because I don't want to strip my hair because it is an intense one, it's a good one. Your hair is going to feel squeaky clean and then I'll do like a hair mask afterwards, but it's so good. If you need a really good Clarifying Shampoo, this is the one. [...] I love all of Olaplex, they're just so good. [...] All my shampoos are Olaplex, so good."
