O&M Original Detox Shampoo 350ml

A clarifying shampoo is a reset, not a routine. Styling polymers, mineral deposits and chlorine accumulate on the strand over weeks, and once they do, conditioner sits on the residue rather than on the hair. This is the deep-cleansing shampoo in the O&M range: used occasionally, it puts the rest of your products back to work.

What's in it

• Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, lauryl glucoside and sodium cocoyl glycinate — the cleansing system, thorough by design, not harsh.
• Certified organic aloe leaf juice and cucumber juice — soothing plant juices.
• Peppermint oil — the cooling note you feel on the scalp.
• Panthenol and glycerin — moisture-binding agents in the base.

How to use it

Work it right into the scalp and take your time. This is the one shampoo worth two passes: the first lifts surface oil, the second reaches the build-up. Follow with a conditioner or masque, because a deep cleanse leaves hair ready to absorb and skipping that step is what makes clarifying shampoos feel drying.

Worth knowing

Weekly, or as needed after heavy styling or swimming. On colour-treated hair treat it as an occasional reset rather than a regular wash: a cleanse this thorough can move colour along faster if overused.
