FAQs

What is a clarifying shampoo?

A clarifying shampoo is designed to give you a deeper clean than your everyday shampoo. It contains detoxifying ingredients to remove buildup, and should only be used 1-2 times per week for a scalp reset.

How is this different from a regular shampoo?

A regular shampoo provides daily maintenance, helping to support overall cleanliness and a healthier scalp environment. A clarifying shampoo is your weekly reset. It’s a more powerful formula that targets buildup, excess oil and impurities that can clog your hair follicles.

Why did you create a clarifying shampoo?

Traditional detox shampoos are formulated with ingredients that may not be suitable for someone prone to sensitive scalp or skin. Some can be harsh, trigger irritation, and may leave you feeling stripped or uncomfortably squeaky. Through the lens of our dermatology expertise, we formulated a solution that helps clear away buildup, but still is safe for sensitive skin and scalp. Even more, all of our formulas are non-comedogenic which means they are also safe for acne-prone skin.

What makes your clarifying shampoo different?

Our clarifying shampoo is formulated without sulfates, silicones, phthalates, parabens, dyes, pore-clogging oils, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, providing a non-irritating cleanse with powerful results. We avoid common irritants and allergens and formulate with sensitive skin and scalp in mind from the beginning.

What does this shampoo remove from the hair and scalp?

Our Scalp Clarifying Shampoo helps remove buildup, styling products (e.g. dry shampoos, gels, hairspray), sebum, excess oil, hard water deposits, and impurities.

Who should use a clarifying shampoo?

Everyone should use a clarifying shampoo as a weekly scalp reset to ensure a healthy scalp environment, but particularly those who use styling products, workout regularly or have hard water. Our Scalp Clarifying Shampoo is perfect for anyone with sensitive or acne-prone skin and sensitive scalp.

Can I use it on color-treated hair?

Yes! Our Scalp Clarifying Shampoo is a color-safe formula.

Is it safe for curly or textured hair?

Yes, this formula is appropriate for all hair types and for those with sensitive skin types.

Will it dry out my hair?

SEEN’s Scalp Clarifying Shampoo does not dry out hair, but if your hair tends to be dry, try using our Deeper Conditioner after shampooing for 5-10 minutes to nourish, strengthen, smooth, and replenish moisture.

Is it good for oily scalp or buildup?

Yes! Our Scalp Clarifying Shampoo targets excess oil and buildup, leaving your scalp clean and refreshed.

How much product should I use?

A good rule of thumb is to use just enough shampoo to cleanse the scalp, not the entire length of your hair. For most people that means a quarter-sized amount of shampoo, and people for people with shorter hair, a nickel-sized amount. Focus the product on the scalp where buildup and oil accumulate, and massage the scalp to help loosen buildup.

Can I use Scalp Clarifying Shampoo as my everyday shampoo?

Because this formula is designed to give you that deep clean, we don’t recommend using it as an everyday shampoo, but rather as a weekly or bi-weekly reset. For more frequent cleansing, reach for SEEN’s Shampoo in either Fragrance Free or Scented for your skin-safe wash day routine.

How often should I use Scalp Clarifying Shampoo?

We recommend using it 1-2 times per week and using your everyday shampoo in between.

Do I need to use a regular shampoo alongside it?

On days you use Scalp Clarifying Shampoo, wash your hair as usual, then follow with conditioner. Use 1-2 times per week. Use your regular shampoo on days you’re not using Scalp Clarifying Shampoo.

Should I use conditioner after cleansing with Scalp Clarifying Shampoo?

Yes! For best results, pair with SEEN Conditioner for normal to oily hair types or Deep Conditioner for drier hair types.

How do I know when my hair needs clarifying?

Regular scalp cleansing is essential for maintaining a healthy scalp, and sometimes a deeper weekly reset is beneficial to remove buildup. When product residue, oil, and impurities accumulate on the scalp, they can lead to build up, and potentially clog follicles on the scalp as well. Buildup that accumulates on the hair and scalp can weigh down the hair, make hair look greasy faster, and potentially impact scalp health as well. If your hair feels heavy, dull, or gets greasy too fast, it may be time for a scalp reset.

Can I use Scalp Clarifying Shampoo if I have a dry or sensitive scalp?

Yes! Our formula is safe for anyone with a dry or sensitive scalp.

Reviews

Another amazing product

"Long time customer of the daily shampoo and conditioner so I decided to purchase this as well for the times when my hair needs to have product buildup removed. I was very happy with the results as well as the gentleness of the product that didn’t make my hair feel like straw."

— Jennifer B. (5/5)

I love it

"This scalp clarifying shampoo is really good and does exactly what it promises. It leaves my hair feeling super clean without making it dry or stripped, which I appreciate since my scalp can be sensitive. The formula feels gentle but still removes buildup nicely. I also like that it has a light, fresh scent that isn’t overpowering. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because it’s a bit pricey, but overall I would definitely recommend it! I enjoyed this product more than I thought I would"

— tbeautylife54 (4/5)

Smells great, feels great!

"I really like this shampoo. I’ve recently really started prioritizing my scalp in my hair routine and this has been a great addition. I had never tried anything from this brand before so I was not sure what to expect, I was hoping it wasn’t going to feel like a clinical shampoo. I was very happily surprised by the packaging and the product. It smell amazing and it works so well. I feel like I have definitely seen improvement in my scalp and it has only improved the look and feel of my hair overall."

— shelbydubin (4/5)

I enjoy it

"As someone who has very oily scalp and hair gets greasy on the 2nd day of wash, I enjoyed this product. My hair felt clean and fresh. I love the fact that these are dermatologists designed for hair care and they won’t clog pores. The ingredients on this shampoo is amazing. The brand cares about us and what we are putting on our hair. I really liked the concept behind the brand. Very clean scent as well. Overall clarifying shampoo is good for all hair types, it thoroughly Cleans our scalp and hair."

Cleans build up!!

"SEEN Clarifying Shampoo worked really well for me. It gently removes buildup from oils, styling products, and dry shampoo without stripping or drying my hair. My scalp feels refreshed after each wash, and my hair looks lighter with more volume. I like that it lathers easily and rinses clean without residue. The scent is soft and not overpowering. It keeps my hair smooth, soft, and manageable while still giving a deep clean. I use it weekly and love it. I got to try this for educational purposes. ."

Fresh scalp feeling

"I’ve been using the SEEN Scalp Clarifying Shampoo and really like how clean and refreshed my scalp feels after each wash. It removes buildup, oil, and product residue without making my hair feel dry or stripped. My scalp feels lighter and less irritated, and my hair stays fresh for longer between washes. The texture is приятна and it lathers well, so you don’t need much product. The scent is noticeable but not overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great option if you want a deeper, yet gentle scalp cleanse."

— dianaugc (5/5)

Seen Shampoo

"This scalp clarifying shampoo helped cleanse my scalp. It helped remove any build up. I have an oily scalp and this shampoo helped. I noticed that products absorb better in my hair. My hair is less frizzy. The shampoo smells floral and like jasmine. I use this shampoo once a week. I follow up with the seen conditioner for hydration. I would highly recommend this clarifying shampoo. I’m excited to continue using this product! This shampoo is designed by a dermatologist. It is safe for sensitive skin."

— drowninginmakeup9 (5/5)

Healthy scalp again

"l love this scalp shampoo, leaves my hair feeling so clean and it helps clear build up. You dont need to use a lot and the packaging is great it fits in tight spaces. It lathers up beautifully with a small amount and cleans my hair so well. Even with a sensitive scalp and skin, it provides a deep cleanse while leaving your hair feeling fresh and revitalized. I have fine and greasy hair, like combination and this has made my hair look better each time, so l only have to wash my hair 3 times a week which is amazing!"

— kvidrio31 (5/5)

love this product!

"i really enjoy this high quality hair product because it has many benefits, as somebody who usually has a dry scalp this helped even after just one wash. I also enjoy the fact that it’s dermatologist recommended and it doesn’t only make your scalp feel less itchy and look less flaky but it’s also makes the hair in your head very silky smooth and soft. The scented version also has a nice natural scent to it, not to strong but not to weak of a scene. i would recommend this to everyone and would repurchase"

— dakota81511 (4/5)

Great for oily hair

"I have oily roots and dry ends with occasional build up in my hair from excess hair products and oil, so I need to use a clarifying shampoo often to detoxify my hair. The seen clarifying shampoo works amazingly well for that. It has a nice pleasant floral fragrance and rich lather that work to thoroughly cleanse my scalp and hair without leaving it stripped. My hair feels refreshed and clean, while still maintaining its softness. I received this product for educational purposes in exchange for my honest review."
