Updated November 7, 2026
Sulfate-powered clarifying wash removes stubborn buildup; dries hair and sparks shedding complaints.

A strong sulfate cleanser for occasional dry-shampoo and styling-residue removal, with sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate high on the label. Use it on buildup-prone hair; fine hair may feel stripped, and shedding complaints are real.
