Product Description

Build-up doesn't always wash out with shampoo. Daily pollutants, excess sebum, and layers of styling products settle onto your scalp over time, and the longer they sit, the flatter, duller, and more lifeless your hair looks. If your usual routine isn't giving you the volume and shine it used to, a scalp detox may be the reset you need.

Apple Cider Vinegar, the formula's clarifying anchor, works to dissolve the residue that regular washing leaves behind, helping to reveal a fresher, more balanced scalp. A blend of 25 botanical ingredients and essential oils delivers an invigorating tingle while providing soothing comfort, no sulfates, no harsh detergents, nothing that strips.

As dulling build-up clears, your hair's natural body, shine, and movement come back into view, softer, smoother, and noticeably easier to style. Use every two weeks as a reset. Safe for color-treated hair.

FAQs

Is the apple cider vinegar in the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse good for your hair?

Yes. Used the right way, the apple cider vinegar in the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is good for your hair. Apple cider vinegar is mildly acidic, so it helps balance the scalp's pH and dissolve the product residue, oil and dirt that shampoo can leave behind. Our rinse combines it with Aloe Vera Hydrosol and botanical extracts like Nettle Root, Comfrey Root and Licorice, so hair looks shinier, feels lighter and the scalp feels clean and refreshed. Used every two weeks, it cleanses without stripping.

How do I use the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse?

Use the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse after you shampoo. Wash your hair and scalp with shampoo and rinse, then pour an appropriate amount into your palm and massage it into your scalp, working it through your hair from roots to ends. Massage in gentle circles for 1 to 2 minutes, then leave it on for another 2 to 3 minutes so it can dissolve buildup. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no product is left, and follow with your conditioner. A final cool rinse adds shine.

How often should I use the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse?

Use the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse once every two weeks. That is enough to keep the scalp clear of residue and buildup while preserving your hair's natural oils. If you have very hard water or heavy product buildup, you can use it once a week for a short time, then go back to every two weeks, because frequent use over long periods can leave the scalp and hair feeling dry. On the other wash days, use your regular shampoo and conditioner.

Will the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse remove my hair color?

No. The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is safe for color-treated hair. It is free from harsh detergents and uses apple cider vinegar with gentle cleansers to lift residue and buildup, not to strip color. Clearing that dull film can help colored hair look shinier and more vibrant. To keep your color looking its best, use it every two weeks rather than more often, rinse with lukewarm or cool water instead of hot, and follow with a conditioner made for colored hair.

Will the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse leave a vinegar smell in my hair?

No. The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is not formulated to leave a vinegar scent in your hair. You may notice a light vinegar aroma while it is on your scalp, but its essential oils, including Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage, Lemongrass, Grapefruit and Orange Peel, give it a fresh, herbal scent. Once you rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with your conditioner, the vinegar smell goes away and your hair is left smelling clean.

Does the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse help with hard water buildup?

Yes. The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse helps clear the buildup that hard water leaves behind. Hard water is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cling to hair along with shampoo and styling products and leave it dull, heavy and hard to manage. The apple cider vinegar in this rinse helps dissolve that film, so hair looks shinier and feels lighter. If your water is very hard, a shower filter or a final rinse with bottled water also helps between rinses.

Is the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse the same as the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser?

Yes. The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse has the same formula as our Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser: Apple Cider Vinegar and Aloe Vera Hydrosol with a blend of roots, herbs and oils such as Dong Quai, Fo-ti, Eleuthero, Licorice, Kelp, Andiroba and Sea Buckthorn. It is different from our Vinegar Rinse Cleanser, also sold as Hard Water Rinse Hair Detox, which is a lighter clarifying rinse with Avocado Oil and Guava Leaf. All are color safe.

Can the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse help my hair grow?

The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is a cosmetic scalp rinse, so it cannot change how your hair grows, but it can make hair look fuller and healthier. By clearing the product residue and excess oil that weigh hair down, it lets strands lift at the roots and look more voluminous, and botanicals like Nettle Root, Horsetail and Sea Buckthorn Oil help hair look stronger. If you notice sudden, patchy or heavy shedding, talk with a doctor or dermatologist to find the cause.

What ingredients are in the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse?

The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is made with Apple Cider Vinegar and Aloe Vera Hydrosol, plus a rich blend of botanical extracts: Comfrey Root, Dong Quai, Eleuthero, Fo-ti, Licorice, Echinacea, Nettle Root, Saw Palmetto, Horsetail, Kelp and Yucca. Andiroba, Karanja and Sea Buckthorn Oils add conditioning, and essential oils of Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage, Cajeput, Chamomile, Birch, Grapefruit and Lemongrass give it a fresh scent. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) adds softness. The full list is on this page.

Is the Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse sulfate-free and vegan?

Yes. The Scalp Clarifying Detox Rinse is sulfate-free and free from harsh detergents; it cleanses with gentle Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate. It has no synthetic fragrances or artificial colorants, it is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and it is safe for color-treated hair. Women and men can both use it. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.
