What is the recommended frequency for a clarifying treatment for hair?

The recommended frequency for a clarifying treatment for hair is once a month. Clarifying treatments are designed to remove product buildup, excess oil, and impurities from the hair and scalp. Such treatments can be quite potent as they often contain stronger cleansing agents compared to regular shampoos.

Using a clarifying treatment too frequently, such as once a week or every day, can lead to dry, stripped, or overly processed hair, especially for those with color-treated or damaged hair. Conversely, limiting the use to every few months may not effectively prevent buildup or maintain a clean, healthy scalp. Therefore, once a month strikes an ideal balance, allowing for cleansing and maintenance of hair health without causing excessive dryness or damage.
