Fabulous clarifier
This is perfect for summer days at the pool and worked fabulous while visiting in Las Vegas where the water is so hard it's not safe to drink. Can't rave enough about this.

Great product
I recently bought the Olaplex No.4C Clarifying Shampoo to use on my hair to help hydrate and maintain it and so far I have found it really good! My hair is long and fine and can get very dry on the ends but oily on the roots so this is the perfect way to help support it when it's feeling extra built up! So far it seems to be working well - will repurchase when it runs out as seems to be working well!

Gently cleanses the hair without stripping it
The Olaplex clarifying shampoo is a really amazing product. The shampoo gently gets rid of buildup and oil without making your hair feel dry and brittle. The Olaplex clarifying shampoo can be used as a stand alone product as well as part of the Olaplex line. I personally get better results when I pair it with other Olaplex products.

Best clarifying shampoo
This removes buildup and leaves the hairy soft and comfortable. Works better than any other I've used. It's obviously better than drugstore brands, but among higher end shampoos this one still stands out. I feel like my hair is so clean and is so light and bouncy, but it feels moisturized without being oily and feels like the perfect texture. I use this intermittently while using usual bond maintenance shampoo as my main shampoo. highly recommend the cmobo

Removes build up
Olaplex No. 4C is a brilliant clarifying shampoo that leaves my hair feeling genuinely clean without stripping or drying it out. It removes buildup, product residue and hard water minerals so well, and my hair feels lighter, softer and shinier after every wash. Perfect for a weekly reset and works great before treatments too.

Excellent product
OLAPLEX No. 4C Clarifying Shampoo delivers a deep, satisfying cleanse without stripping my hair ir drying it out. It removes product buildup and excess oil while still keeping it feeling surprisingly soft. The lather is rich, and a little goes a long way..

Removes build up without stripping
This is one of the better clarifying shampoos I have tried.
When my hair feels weighed down by product buildup or oil, it leaves strands feeling clean without stripping, however, because it’s designed to remove buildup, it can be a bit strong for daily use, so I have opted for once a week. I found that using it once every worked best to maintain balance without over-drying. I follow up with a hydrating shampoo a rich conditioner or mask.

Soft bouncy hair
My hair type is oily and I also have thick long hair which can get dense and matted if the oil builds up, I love a good clarifying shampoo which leaves my hair bouncy and volumised and this does exactly that. Best thing is it’s not overly cleansing and doesn’t rip out the moisture from my hair either, I love it! Only thing is it’s pricey but a great shampoo for healthy hair with a great finish!

Love this product!
This was the first Olaplex product I used. I had never used a clarifying shampoo before and my hair really needed it. This made my hair feel so clean!

Good but maybe too harsh
I have used this for a while and find that it really does work work well to remove all traces of build up. It is nice to use, foams well, smells nice. My main issue with it is that after using it my hair feels a bit too dry and is more tangled than usual. Compared to the ouai detox shampoo, I think this is not quite as good
