Do you want to remove residue from your hair naturally, without stripping it? Clarify your hair with apple cider vinegar: for lighter, more manageable, and full-of-vitality hair.
Why make a clarification?
Resetting is key. It's often the first thing we forget when we decide to take the plunge and adopt a new routine. Yet, cleaning up the basics to be more receptive to change is one of the most valuable pieces of advice for achieving beautiful hair.
Delphine explained everything to us. A true enthusiast, Delphine is our guru when it comes to natural hair routines. She shares all her secrets on her Instagram account @biotytips . It's a real goldmine of information for anyone wanting to switch to eco-friendly hair products (and more!). Delphine detailed how to get beautiful hair again thanks to clarifying (and we're incredibly grateful for that!).
To eliminate all the residue and dirt that has accumulated in our hair over time. All this residue can eventually suffocate the scalp. It can also weigh down the lengths and ends and prevent natural curls from forming. Clarifying will deeply cleanse. We start with a healthy base, better prepared to receive subsequent treatments.
