Suave Ocean Breeze Refreshing Shampoo, Sea Algae Extract & Vitamin E, 22.5 FL OZ

This shampoo (and the conditioner that goes with it) was such a great find! After I had kids, my hair started getting gunky. I can't think of a better way to describe it. It just felt oily and gross even after washing it. For a while, I was using baking soda to wash it and that helped, but it was annoying. So I splurged on Pureology shampoo and conditioner and found that it worked great. But then my daughter hit puberty and her hair became oily too. She also found that Pureology did the trick. But it isn't cheap and I have to order it. I started trying to find something comparable at a more affordable price point and readily available. I tried several different brands ranging from $8 to $15 a bottle, and none of them worked. I ended up picking up this Suave Clarifying just to have something cheap until I could order more Pureology. It ended up working great! My daughter and I were both very pleasantly surprised, and it has saved me so much money! Now we alternate it with Pureology and the balance works well. If we use the Suave by itself for too long our hair feels dry, so switching between the two has been what works best for us. And I love that Suave doesn't test on animals!

Fellow haired humans, there is never a good reason to purchase the fancy clarifying shampoo over the blue suave bottle. I get it, sometimes you just wanna splurg and get the boutique bottle, or the $23 sheek shamp and play "rich". I'm an American human, I like to play rich too. But when it comes to clarifying, when it comes to buying a shampoo that will strip the product and grime off your hair in one go, save that money and just get the blue suave bottle.
