Clarifying your curls regularly is totally safe and necessary to maintain your hair and maintain a healthy scalp .

However, if we don’t clarify, product and scalp sebum build-up can risk weighing down the hair. Ultimately, this suffocates hair follicles which can even have an impact on hair growth. How Do You Use Clarifying Shampoo? Hydrogen bonds are broken by water entering the hair, whether it’s from your wash routine, or the humidity in the air. If you style your hair in one humidity level then move to another, the hydrogen bonds will again break and reset causing hair to lose its original shape. They can also be broken by heat from blow drying or styling with hot tools. Bond Curl Rehab Salve is great for those who have colored hair, although we recommend that you use it one week before or after your coloring service.
