    I also use a Gentle Clarifying Shampoo as well by Mane N' Tail. I've just used it twice this month already. Because, I co-wash a lot like 6 or 7 times a week. Plus, I deep condition twice a week, and my hair tends to get a build up on it after a while.

    I just bought the Redken cleansing cream shampoo, and while I only have one experience with it thus far, my first impression of it was, that it was gentle but effective. It removed the kid of buildup my other chelating/clarifying shampoo had not removed, and my hair has been really nice afterwards. There is no dryness but I conditioner well after washing with it.

    Always behave like a duck -
    keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath.

    Anyone recently use the Redken Cleansing Cream discussed in this thread? I see it only comes in a liter bottle now, and it’s called Clean Maniac. I wonder if it’s the same?

    What about the ingredients, renia?

    It looks like they tweaked the ingredients. The first is an ingredient list I found from 2014, the second is the current ingredient list:

    Ingredients (2019): Aqua / Water / Eau, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl, Glucoside, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycol Sterate, Cocamidoprpoyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Parfum / Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate, Pentasoidum Pentetate, Limonene, Citric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Steric Acid, Saccharum Officinarum Extract / Sugar Cane Extract, Aminomethyl Propanol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydropyltrimo-Num Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylropional, Citrus Medica Limonum Peel Extract / Lemon Peel Extract, Pyrus Sinesis Exrtact / Camella Sinesis Leaf Extract, Sodium Hydroxide (D47572 / 2).

    If anyone has been using the current one and has an opinion on how it compares to the previous formula, I’d love to know.. :/

    I agree with Angie. Don't clarify for every wash. Clarify once or twice a month, and just use a good cleansing shampoo for every wash that has sulfates in it but when you go through your cycles if you're gonna use a cleansing shampoo with sulfates in it only shampoo with once cycle then use any conditioner afterwards. Because, the clarifying during every wash can cause your hair to dry out I think. Especially, if you don't have any product build-up. It's great that your scalp loves it though.

    I sulfate wash every week. Not with a clarifying shampoo, but Pantene Aqua Light is pretty much up there for clarifying with its ingredients. It hasn't "harmed" my hair in any way shape or form and I have been doing this for years.

    I think it's up to your own personal routine. Some people have finicky scalp and need a good harsh cleanse, others the opposite. So it pays to adapt your routine accordingly.

    I use a clarifying shampoo once a month but couldn't use it weekly as it would be too drying; I must use a heavy conditioner or mask after I clarify.

    While I use sulfate shampoos, they are not drying in the way a clarifying shampoo is.

    I don't seem to have much (if any) build up with the coney/serum products I use, but the clarifying shampoo does brighten my hair and gives it nice boost.

    But my hair is fine and wispy and I produce scant sebum; by the end of the week my scalp hair is just starting to feel heavy, but doesn't even look greasy.
    I could go another week before that happens but I prefer fluffy hair

    Yes, I also sulfate wash every week too, and not with a clarifying shampoo. Oh, ok I see the pantene aqua light is pretty much up there for clarifying with it's ingredients. I have never tried that one.

    Yes, you are definitely right that it's up to your own personal routine. Some people do have a finicky scalp and need a good harsh cleanse, others the opposite. Yes, it does pay to adapt your routine accordingly.
