Paul Mitchell Clarifying Shampoo is a high-performance surfactant system engineered for the deep removal of sebum and styling polymer buildup. It is optimized for high-solubility removal of waxes and silicones, utilizing botanical extracts like Chamomile and Jojoba as emollient buffers. This professional-grade tool is intended for periodic "resetting" of the hair to remove dulling mineral deposits.
Usage should be managed carefully to avoid lipid depletion, as the primary action is intensive de-greasing. It is highly effective for reducing scalp oiliness and preparing the hair for deep conditioning masks. Because the formula focuses on deep cleansing, it is critical to follow application with a lipid-restoring conditioner to re-acidify the cuticle and maintain surface moisture.
