If You Want The Cleanest Hair Of Your Life, Use These 4 Products
by The Candidly Team
If you’re one of those people who “wash their hair once a week” in order to “let your own natural oils make your hair healthier,” this is unequivocally not the right article for you.
However.
If you feel like your hair is always limp, or your scalp is always mildly upset, or grease begins to present itself the SELFSAME DAY you wash your hair, this might just be the day your life changes.
For some odd reason, there are an estimated 67,892,341 shampoos and products for “moisture,” but for us sensitive-scalped, oily gals, we’re basically given 4 clarifying shampoos and are told to shut up and be happy with what scraps we’re given.
Are oily-haired ladies really that rare?
Please believe us when we tell you we’ve tried every. single. product. for oily hair and sad scalps. Every. One. Most of them are nothing.
But these? Oh. They’re something. Used together, these 4 products gave us the cleanest feeling scalp and hair of our natural lives. Still squeaky clean the day after a hair wash, and even the day after that, using all 4 seems to be the key—any variation on this, and the results were less than excellent.
Ok, let’s dive right in. (Which is what we’d normally be saying about our greasy hair but NO MORE!)
Maple Holistics Degrease Shampoo
Just the name sold us. So after trying every single other clarifying shampoo on the market (on earth?), we can confidently say this is the best one. It’s chock full of essential oils (basil, lemon, peach), and while we don’t understand the “science” of how a bunch of oils make hair LESS OILY, this shampoo is just absolutely miraculous. Gets rid of flakes after one wash. Prevents build up. It’s heaven sent, and we are now buying it in bulk in case it ever gets discontinued. We like to use it twice a week.
Price: $10
Nécessaire The Shampoo And The Conditioner
We will admit that a fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner does not thrill us. 87% of the joy of washing one’s head is inhaling the various aromas of flowers and citrus and musks. But we will get our olfactory delight elsewhere, because this duo gets our hair so unspeakably clean and soft, it’s like nothing we’ve ever tried. We also use this conditioner along with the clarifying shampoo above on those wash days. And the tiniest amount of conditioner goes a long way. Just on the ends. Perfect.
Oh, and we have a code for you because the brand was nice enough to offer one to our readers. Use CANDIDLY10 on your order.
Price: $56 for the set
Philip B Weightless Conditioning Water
Possibly the greatest name of any product ever created, this is the only “leave-in” sort of conditioner that 100% unequivocally does not weigh our hair down. We still use the above conditioner in the shower, but then we towel dry our hair and do a few spritzes of this on our ends, which we then comb through. It leaves our hair so gorgeously soft, unfrizzed, and light as air. And this is where we make up for the lack of scent in the shampoo. Whiffs of orange blossom and magnolia flower will become an almost addictive part of your ablution routine.
