ANY? Something cheap but works good. I've been using silicones and my hairs been looking dull and unshiny lately maybe its all the buildup. So any recs?

Crazy I was going to ask this question!!!!

Do you have color treated hair?

I am wondering if that even makes a difference what your hair type is when it comes to clairfying shampoo.
I've never really used one before.

Funny thing, I was at the salon last week and I asked about Infusium 23 and my hairstylist said that infusium really isn't good. It doesn't do anything to strengthen the hair from the inside, it only lays a coat of moisture on the outside of the hair follice and doesn't penetrate the follice. So once you stop using it your hair will be back to how it was before you used it. Just FYI...
Of course, if it works for you, then who cares what this stylist said

I agree, Pantenes clarifying shampoo is pretty cool. I hate their other stuff, but this one is the only thing I buy from them. Other than that, I'll buy any cheap clear shampoo and it usually does a great job with clarifying.

Pantene isn't that bad, my friend is a top hairdresser and loves it. Everyone's so quick to diss it because of the silicone, but what exactly is it about silicone that's so bad for it??

And back on topic, their clarifying shampoo is good.

I use VO5's Kiwi shampoo for clarifying - it doesn't strip the color from my hair and it only costs $1

if you have dyed hair, i wouldn't suggest using a clarifying shampoo because it will strip your colour out. if that's the case, you just have to focus alot on massaging the stuff off the scalp and out of the roots with just a normal shampoo.

otherwise, i'd go with herbal essences clarifying shampoo. before i started colouring my hair, that's what i used. and when i messed the colour up, i used it for a couple weeks and the colour was gone, so it's some pretty powerful stuff

I didnt know it strips the color of your hair if you have colored it before cause I want to get rid of my color. I want my natural hair color back so maybe this would be another good idea.

I've used a Redken clarifying shampoo before and it didn't affect my colour, so maybe it depends which one you use?

I have a prejudice against Pantene, but I am perfectly happy with using my cheap Suave clarifying shampoo once a week, or so. It does the trick and is a really good deal. IMHO since this is a product you won't be using that frequently, you can go with a cheapie but a goodie.

We use the pantene clarifying shampoo once a week if needed and I find it's not too bad! My BF uses it everyday and he really likes but he's an oily guy and needs it!

OK you'll think I'm crazy but use 1. Dishsoap (I use it once a month to remove buildup) and I use biolage products on my hair so buildup isn't as bad. or if you can't stomach dish soap -Dog shampoo not the flea kind (hey it gets nasty dirty dogs clean it ought to remove any buildup-)

they both leave my hair squeaky clean - then you deep condition..

OH dear... my hair gets all residuey all the time... it's grossss. I tried Prell (original green bottle) shampoo from Wal Mart because I was feeling a little nutty... and I've never had my hair come out so clean that just running my hand over it makes it squeek... it was incredible. It's around 3 dollars.

Neutrogena Clarifying Shampoo is my favorite. If you have coloured hair, just use it before you retouch your colour and wait in between colour jobs.
