Redken Detox Hair Cleansing Cream Clarifying Shampoo For All Hair Types - Removes Buildup and Strengthens Hair Cuticle

I live in a hot humid climate and have been struggling with static for over a year. We also have hard water. One day I’ve just had enough. Gemeni highly recommended this clarifying cream shampoo to get hard water deposits out. I was VERY skeptical! But decided to give it a go. It was delivered the same day! I washed my hair that evening and blow dried it. Other products I used were my old ones. Well, the results were incredible! My hair looked and felt so healthy and shiny! More importantly, there was no static. This is a fantastic shampoo. I’ve purchased two more since then just to have because I think they are changing the formula. I’ve recommended this shampoo to my mom and sister and they both purchased it and are very impressed with the results as well. I didn’t experience any hair fall with it. In fact, I can see new hairs growing and I’m definitely not losing as many hairs in the shower either. Huge plus. The shampoo also doesn’t dry my hair out at all. 100/10 recommend!

If you have oily hair and an oily scalp and/or especially if you use conditioning products containing silicones or other occlusive ingredients, then this product is for YOU. If you have dry hair and a dry scalp and/or very sensitive skin prone to irritation (although my skin is relatively sensitive, it doesn't bother me personally) and/or do not use products containing silicones then this shampoo might not be what you are looking for. Review: This shampoo has been very effective at preventing any buildup of oil and product on my very porous hair and oily scalp! It makes my hair feel very clean and soft without stripping it so much that it feels weak and squeaks on my fingers. The scent is a very mild acidic/citrus that I find very pleasant! The shampoo contains Alpha-Hydroxy Acid which is a great gentle chemical exfoliant popular in skincare that will leave your scalp feeling fresh and de-congested. The slightly acidic pH is also beneficial for your skin barrier and hair cuticle as these structures are naturally acidic. I am prone to acne on my scalp and this does a good job of preventing it. Usage Tips: Keep in mind that this shampoo is NOT intended to replace your regular shampoo, as it is still much too harsh to use every wash; only use this shampoo when your hair is feeling congested and heavy or once a week. A little goes a long way! Professional products like this tend to be pricier than drugstore not only because of higher quality ingredients, but they are typically more concentrated and not diluted with as much water; a nickel- to quarter-sized amount is plenty for me. Focus on massaging and working this product primarily into your scalp, as your mids and ends collect less buildup and oil and this will be a bit too harsh for them. Do not worry if the product does not foam aggressively, this means it is working! Rinse and wash gently a second time with a small amount of your regular shampoo before conditioning as normal.

A few days ago I wrote a stellar review for Redken Volume Injection Shampoo, actually with the same title. I felt that I needed to write a review for Redken Detox Hair Cleansing Clarifying Shampoo too, which I use together with the Injection Shampoo. As my earlier review of the Injection Shampoo relayed: this is a great product. However, I had been searching for a gentle yet effective clarifying shampoo because I often use an application of moringa or rosemary oil to condition my hair and stimulate the follicles. The oils are excellent, but even with three latherings, I was unable to get the oil completely out of my hair. By chance I read the review of the chef who said that working in a restaurant kitchen that is hot and uses lots of oils for cooking made getting his hair clean a challenge. But this product worked for him. So I tried it, and it works for me too!!! It effectively cleans my hair without stripping it, and leaves it shiny and manageable. Excellent job again, Redken. Thank you :-)

Updated Review Jan 26: I used half the tube before deciding it was not the best product for my oily, itchy scalp. It will work fine on the grandkids more normal hair but leaves my hair flat and oily by the second day. For itchy scalp, I recommend Unwash Charcoal Detox Scalp Scrub. For oily scalp, I recommend K18 Peptide Prep. For conditioner, I recommend UNITE Hair 7second Detangler Leave-In Conditioner. My original from December 25, 2023: My hair is straight, fine, and not too thick. My scalp is oily, itchy and damaged from years in the sun. For the past two decades the shampoo that worked best for me has been Redken Solve Purifying Shampoo, 8.5 oz $33 on Ebay. I believe it was the clay-based formula that made it superior to other products. Redken discontinued it about the same time I started using it but, up to this year, I was still able to buy it for a reasonable price on ebay. When the price tripled, I was forced to find a replacement. Of the many products I have tried, here are the three top contenders: * Rene Furterer Curbicia Purifying Clay, 5 oz $34 * Redken Oil Detox Shampoo (AKA Hair Cleansing Cream), 8.5 oz $25 * Live Clean Mineral Clay Rebalancing Shampoo, 12 oz $5.49 I have tried all of the Rene Furterer shampoos, but Curbicia (also clay-based) is the only one strong enough for my oily scalp. It works as well as Redken Solve for giving me perfect hair on the first day and decent hair on days two and three. But it is expensive, even when I could get it on sale from England. I've only used the Redken Oil Detox shampoo twice but both times it cleaned well, left my hair very soft, and kept it looking good for two days. I would probably select it as my replacement if not for the price and I haven't found it cheaper anywhere else. Which leads us to the inexpensive but well formulated Live Clean Mineral Clay Rebalancing Shampoo. My hair looks good on the first day (not as soft as the more expensive products) and my scalp and hair seems fine on the second day. The triple clay combination should work well to both remove oils and decrease itching. Complaints from other reviewers were that they didn't like the smell (I do like it) and it was too drying.

I absolutely love this cleansing shampoo! I was struggling with an itchy scalp, which I suspect was due to product buildup. Since I started incorporating this shampoo into my wash routine at least once a week, the issue has been wonderfully resolved. It does exactly what it promises—it provides a deep, thorough cleanse without stripping my hair too much. If your hair or scalp doesn't feel completely clean with your regular products, I highly recommend this treatment. It has become a must-have in my routine!

I use Redken's hair cleansing cream once a week to tackle product buildup on my scalp, and it consistently delivers excellent results. Though it's on the pricey side, just a little more than a large coin-sized amount is enough to deeply cleanse my scalp, making this product last a long time. I typically leave the cream on for 5-10 minutes before washing it out and following up with my usual shampoo and conditioner. After each use, my hair feels squeaky clean, free of any residue, and refreshed. The strong citrus and lemon scent is refreshing while the cream is in my hair, though it doesn't linger after rinsing, which I appreciate. The deep-cleaning effect is immediate, and I've noticed a marked improvement in the overall cleanliness and health of my scalp. This cleansing cream is a fantastic addition to any hair care routine, especially for those who regularly use styling products or just want a thorough weekly cleanse. Highly recommended!

I like to use this once a week so that it strips my hair of other shampoo or products that I feel leaves buildup.

Adaquate shampoo but does not detoxify.

Llegó toda la caja batida de shampoo. NO TRAÍA SELLO DE GARANTÍA como todos los productos de REDKEN. Pero al utilizarlo hoy. ;e di cuenta que si es el original. Ya conozco este producto. Lástima que se perdió como 1/4 del producto derramado en la caja.

This stuff simply just works. I’ve had it in my cart for a while but didn’t want to because of the price and also was scared it would be a terrible strong fragrance which I hate. I’ve recently went back to silicones in products which has been magical for my hair but between those and hard water my fine hair was sticky and tacky and starting to not feel clean after washing it no matter what. After a little chat with an internet robot, I realized I needed more than a deep cleansing shampoo I needed a chelating one to get hard water minerals off. Just used it with a decently heavy conditioner and my hair feels soooo clean and silky. Lately that same conditioner would have made me look greasy. And the scent is nice and subtle ! (It’s hard to find good products when so many have overwhelming perfumey scents) it’s a very subtle lemon, not like lemon floor cleaner like the last detox shampoo I used (PM). Wish Redken would do all their products with lower more clean natural scents because they make fantastic products but some of us can’t deal with strong perfume. Thumbs up for this one. I’ll probably use it once a week or so to make sure my hair is squeaky clean.

I didn’t read the fine print but this really is a tiny bottle for what you pay. I couldn’t return the product without paying for the return myself as it was my fault for not reading the size. Just be prepared for a teeny tiny bottle if you order.

I love love love this product. I have fine hair that gets oily quickly with other product build-up, and this really cleanses and clarifies my hair without drying it out or adding to breakage. I use this every 2-3 days and it smells divine. I will absolutely be purchasing this product again. It's a good price for the amount and it seems to last forever!

Redken is still the best in the game. I love this clarifying shampoo for a weekly deep clean to get the build up off. It has a clean citrus scent that is super mild, bordering on non-existent. My hair always looks and feels great after I use this.
