dry shampoo lovers

Are you an avid dry shampoo user? Are you using dry shampoo to extend your style for 2,3, sometimes 4 days? This shampoo + conditioner duo is the one for you. Reset clarifying gel shampoo is a unique aerosol shampoo that purges hair of product, oil, dirt and sweat as it replenishes moisture + revives volume. Its oxygen action is like a breath of fresh air for tired scalps. This shampoo containing pink clay and charcoal works to attract dirt like a magnet to draw out impurities and remove product build up. The best part about this duo? You will have that insanely clean feeling without stripping your hair of needed moisture. Throw out everything you thought you knew about clarifying shampoos! For an even deeper clean, try applying reset scalp cleansing oil to dry hair before washing with the reset shampoo + conditioner duo.

oily/fine hair

Do you find that your hair gets greasy INSANELY fast? Do you feel like you need to wash your hair everyday? Reset shampoo and conditioner is going to be your new bff in your hair routine. Due to ingredients like pink clay + charcoal, you will actually see that after using this duo, your hair doesn’t get as greasy as quickly. Pink clay and 100% natural plant derived charcoal are both known for their ability to absorb dirt, odors, minerals, hard metals, toxins, and other harmful substances that can collect on our hair and skin through pollution or hard water. They also rid pores of toxins and unpleasant odors while exfoliating dead skin cells. While we don’t recommend washing your hair every day, this duo is so gentle that it can be used every time you wash. Again, breaking those clarifying shampoo stereotypes!

weekly treatment

This shampoo + conditioner duo can also be treated like a treatment. Think about it as a face mask session but for your scalp. You can use this duo once a week, let’s say on Sunday, to reset, refresh, and get rid of product buildup + oil from the previous week. The best part? The reset cooling gel conditioner with ingredients like menthol lactate and menthol invigorate, refresh, and awaken the scalp with a cool, clean, tingling sensation. Indian cress, which can be found in both products, promotes vitamins, antioxidants and oxygen flow for a balanced, healthy scalp. This duo will give you the perfect base that you need for an amazing hair week.

How often should I use my clarifying shampoo?

How Often Should You Clarify? The average person should clarify once or twice a month, but if you use a lot of hair styling products or have hard water, you may need to clarify weekly. Be careful not to overuse clarifying shampoos as they can strip the scalp of the essential oils that keep hair healthy.

Should I condition my hair after clarifying?

Because of the strength of clarifying shampoos, you should always chase them with conditioner. Your regular conditioner is just fine, but you might also consider using an ultra-nourishing product like PATTERN's Heavy Conditioner for truly luscious curls.

How do you apply clarifying shampoo to your hair?

Clarifying shampoo is designed for use once or twice per week. You can apply it as you would any other shampoo. Work a small amount in your hands and then apply to your damp scalp, massaging the product until you have a good lather. Leave in your hair for up to 30 seconds.

How often should I use amika reset?

A: reset jelly shampoo should be used whenever the scalp is in need of an extra-deep cleanse to remove product build up, such as after prolonged dry shampoo usage or removing a protective style. You can start with using it once a week!
