For those who use clarifying shampoo like you book your facials: occasionally, deliberately, and only when you can feel you need it.

This is the deepest clean your hair can feel without being left stripped, static, or rough to the touch. Designed for the buildup that comes from real routines, hard water, styling products and the everyday layers that slowly keep your hair from feeling like itself.

AHA-champagne and stimulating black pepper help create a sensorial reset that leaves hair feeling brighter, shinier, cleaner, and ready for everything that comes next.

Why you’ll love it

Deeply cleanses buildup without leaving hair feeling stripped
Helps refresh hair that feels dull, heavy, coated, or resistant to lather
Easy on color-treated hair, balayage, and chemically processed hair
Leaves hair feeling cleaner, lighter, shinier, and reset
Designed as an occasional ritual, not an everyday shampoo replacement

The difference: this champagne-powered formula balances pH for a gentler, more luxurious cleanse that respects your hair's integrity.

Which size is right for you

The 8.45 fl oz size is the recommended choice for most routines. It gives you enough product for an intentional reset step without encouraging overuse.

The 33.8 fl oz size is best for households where multiple family members are using it, especially busy homes where hard water, sports, styling products, dry shampoo, and frequent wash routines mean more than one person needs a deep cleansing shampoo more often.

The ritual

Cleanse with Clarifying Shampoo when hair needs a true reset. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Signature Hair Mask for softness, then layer Leave-In Conditioner before styling.

Your hair should feel like it just walked out of its facial: brighter, shinier, cleaner, and cared for.

Please note: Not recommended for daily use. Use as an occasional clarifying step within your regular Goldie Locks routine.

FAQs

What is Clarifying Shampoo?

Clarifying shampoo is formulated to remove excess buildup or residue on your hair and/or scalp. Clarifying shampoo offers a deeper cleanse than typical shampoo, but are not designed for regular use. An overuse of Clarifying shampoo can strip the scalp of essential oils that keep the hair healthy. We recommend using Goldie Locks® Clarifying Detox Shampoo is an alternate shampoo to be rotated with Goldie Locks® Signature Shampoo.

Do I need to clarify?

Scalp build-up from product use, dirt, oil, hard water, chemicals from swimming pools, and environmental pollutants can leave residue on your hair overtime. This can cause hair to start to appear dull, heavy, greasy, and weigh hair down. If you are experiencing any of these hair symptoms or simply want to reset and detox your hair and scalp we recommend Goldie Locks® Clarifying ‘Detox’ Shampoo.

How often should I use it?

Clarifying Shampoo is a great addition to your hair routine, but is not designed for everyday use. An overuse of clarifying shampoo can strip the scalp of essential oils that keep the hair healthy. Everyone is different, has different routines, and are exposed to different environments. We recommended using clarifying shampoo 1-2x a month. However, if you use a lot of hair styling products and/or have hard water, you may need to clarify more frequently. The best rule of thumb, use when you feel like you need/want a deeper cleanse and use Goldie Locks® Signature Shampoo + Conditioner between treatments to help restore moisture.

Is clarifying shampoo safe for color treated hair?

Our Clarifying Detox Shampoo is safe for all hair types, including color-treated hair and extensions. However, use with caution, as the effectiveness can vary depending on your hair's porosity and the type of color your stylist used. We recommend avoiding clarifying within the first week after coloring to prevent premature color fade.

Will this remove the green I get after using the pool?

This is a great product for swimmers as you may need to clarify more often to deep clean hair and remove chlorine, iron and minerals that can give hair a greenish tint. It also washes away dulling buildup, strengthens strands and minimizes future buildup.

How do I use my clarifying shampoo?

We recommend using Goldie Locks® Clarifying Detox Shampoo is an occasional alternate shampoo when you are looking for a deep cleanse and is recommended to be rotated with Goldie Locks® Signature Shampoo to help restore moisture. Lather and massage desired amount of shampoo to wet hair, focusing on the scalp. Rinse and repeat if needed. Follow with Goldie Locks® Signature Conditioner. Depending on the amount of buildup and oils on your hair, it may not lather very much, but that doesn't mean it's not working. Rinse very well. Apply again, and this time you should get more suds. Let the shampoo sit on your scalp for a minute or two to help break down and release the product buildup, then rinse well again.

What is the pH level?

Great question! pH plays an important role in keeping your hair and scalp healthy and happy. We maintain a low level 5.0-6.0 pH to help maintain hair’s pH to its optimum level.
