## Description

desertcart.com: K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo - Color Safe Clarifying Shampoo for Build Up Removal - Gently Removes Dirt, Oil + Metals from Hard Water with Activated Charcoal + Salicylic Acid (8.5 Fl oz) : Everything Else

Review: Excellent clarifying Shampoo - Works great without drying your hair out. All of their products are wonderful. Though a bit of a learning curve. Ive read a lot of mixed results in the reviews. This particular product is to give your hair a good thorough cleaning of all those residues from hair products. It’s concentrated so you won’t need a ton. Just add a little see if it lathers add more as needed. I work it thru my hair down to the scalp. Then let it sit for bit to let it break down the residue. Slightly towel blot dry tour hair. Even better if you have a nice microfiber hair towel to just gently squeeze and blot your hair to remove excess water but leave it still damp wet. You’re not drying it. You’re preparing it for the conditioning stage in step 2. This is imprtant, Especially for curly hair. (I have a hair wrap towel from Diva Curls and I love it!) This step is to remove excess water but leave it still wet enough to help when you apply the conditioner step. Then move on to and finally the hair oil. That seals and protects the hair and helps it to be soft and shiny I think the success of these products really is dependent on using each products in its order. Just learn about each one a bit before you dive right in. They're costly and so learning how to use them will help you not burn right thru it. I have fine hair but it’s also very thick and curly. I’m almost done with my first full size order. I tried a sample kit first. Then purchased the full size shampoo the conditioner and the hair oil. And you may be shocked at the size of the conditioner as I’m a person who typically load my hair with it as I tend to have dry curly ends. And my first thought was this can’t be right it’s too small. It requires very little. I do however have to use more to really get it fully saturated. That’s my one complaint. It’s a lot of money and that took some adjusting. Hence the advice to learn about what your buying and potentially using. I’d recommend these products. I’m curious to see how this company evolves. I hope this is helpful information.
Review: Must have - This is the best shampoo I’ve ever used! I’ve already told all my friends about it and will definitely be purchasing it again. It does exactly what it promises, leaving my hair feeling incredibly clean, refreshed, and healthy. I highly recommend it!

I absolutely love this shampoo for my curls. I use it once a week as part of my wash-day routine, and it does an amazing job removing buildup without leaving my hair feeling stripped or dry. After using it, my hair looks healthy, shiny, and refreshed. My curls feel lighter and more defined, and the scent is incredible.
