Hilo :P
I've used Pantene since.. gosh, forever?! I love it, but I hear that it does leave residues in hair which bogs the hair down and make the hair harder to style and the curls don't last as long. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good clarifying shampoo to get rid of residues? Or any other methods? I hear Suave Clarifying shampoo is actually really good. |

| John Master's Herbal Clarifier is exactly for that purpose and you only use it once a week after shampoo and before conditioner. |

Been awhile since I've used anything besides Ojon but before that I used Pantene. They make a nice clarifying shampoo. |

| A great and cheap clarifier is to take a glass full of baking soda in the shower with you. Wet your hair and massage it through. It will feel pretty gunky, but works great. Rinse it out, shampoo and condition as usual. Your hair will be super-clean and soft. I've never found a clarifying shampoo that works better! |

| Just secondng Tosca's advice: I've used baking soda mixed with water as well (sometimes with a few drops of rosemary essential oil). It works beautifully. Another option is to rinse with apple cider vinegar. I have dark brown hair, and the cider vinegar leaves my hair glossy and seems to enhance the chestnut tones. One caveat, it does smell like, well, vinegar. Usually the smell disappears when the hair dries, but it can recur for a few days when the hair is wet. |

| Apple cider vinegar does work well - it leaves my hair a bit fluffy though. |

| ouidad's water works shampoo is great for removing chlorine, minerals, etc. The whole line is targeted for us curly girls, but I think this shampoo would work equally well for everyone. smells good, too |

I second the baking soda and ACV, neither have stripped my hair, but did manage to make it really clean. The key with the ACV is to rinse, rinse, rinse. I use it after I have shampooed with Cream of Nature shampoo(my HG), then pour the ACV(about 1/2 cup) over my hair and massage it in and let it sit about 5 min. Then rinse really well and condition. Makes my hair look great and helps my scalp.
But as far as clarifying shampoo goes Im not a huge fan, they tend to strip out everything and leave the hair overly dry...having said that if you are going to use one I would try Neutrogena Clean I think its called, its pink and smells good and super cheap, I still wouldnt use one more than once a week. HTH! |

| I definitely support the ACV. It's cheap, easy to do, and most people have it in their house already. I also recommend to rinse, then once you think you are done rinsing, rinse again. I do this once a month, and it works great. (If I have a heavy styling day, I'll do it the next morning too.) You won't smell the ACV afer your shower if you rinse really good. |

Thanks everyone for your advice! I think I'll try the AVC first since I have it around the house question though, will it make my hair smell unpleasant?  |

| I have been using Resolve, from Joico, for many years. It works well. Since I do aquafitness twice a week, I needed a shampoo to remove the residues left by Phiné (used to protect my hair against chlorine), and my hairdresser recommended it. |

It shouldnt if you do it before you shampoo(remember to massage it into the scalp and let it sit for about 5 min.)and RINSE, RINSE, RINSE. Your shampoo and cond. should cut the smell out completly. HTH! |

| Hmmm, I must be the odd (wo)man out because I do NOT rinse out my ACV. My hair doesn't smell vinegary after its dried -- maybe it's because I mix mine with a 1/4 cup of honey, as well.... |

What does honey do for your hair?  |

| Does everyone use the ACV undiluted? And wouldn't the honey make your hair sticky? Or does the vinegar dilute it enough? What ratio of honey: ACV? |

It’s a humectant that draws and retains moisture into the hair, as well as gives it shine and body.

1/4 cup of ACV and 1/4 cup honey to 1 quart of very warm water. Pour bucket of ACV/honey-water over your hair, DO NOT RINSE. Towel dry and style as usual. And, no, it doesn't make your hair sticky! It dissolves completely in the warm water so there is no sticky residue on your hair.
FYI - someone, I think it was Ariesxtreme, posted a bunch of recipes for various hair-shine rinses in the DIY thread yesterday: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=500
For those who don’t know, ACV is one of the greatest things you can use in your hair: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&start=8 especially if it’s color-treated: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=7658&start=50
Personally, I mix ACV directly into my bottle of shampoo AND conditioner, as well as use it as a finishing rinse. I also mix honey into my jar of conditioner, as well. |

carekate, thank you so much for those measurements, I will be trying out the hair rinse this weekend. (Hope I have enough honey). My mother told me about using the ACV many years ago, but I've kind of forgotten about it. Good to try it though. Actually, adding the honey makes it mroe appealing to me!
And that homemade thread, I've been avoiding it because I've decided that's going to be my next project, making skincare, soaps, etc (I don't really have time at the moment) but too late.
Thank you again. I may resort to adding ACV and honey straight to the bottles as well. Sounds like a great idea. |
