Sulfate-powered reset shampoo clears stubborn buildup; cheap, intensely stripping.

What the community says

A no-frills clarifying wash built around Sodium C12-13 Alketh Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate, with fragrance. It suits people fighting stubborn buildup, but curls, waves, and dry hair may find weekly use too stripping.
