OUAI Detox Clarifying Shampoo — 10 oz Apple Cider Vinegar + Keratin, Sulfate-Free Clarifier for Hard Water & Buildup

OUAI Detox Shampoo is a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo with apple cider vinegar and chelating agents that removes buildup, hard water minerals, oil, and styling residue for a refreshed, clean base.

Reset your hair routine with a targeted clarifier designed for occasional use. OUAI Detox Shampoo combines apple cider vinegar’s natural exfoliating properties with chelating ingredients and keratin to lift mineral deposits, heavy product residue, and excess oil without stripping hair of necessary moisture. Use once or twice weekly to restore bounce, shine, and manageability before your regular conditioning and styling steps.

How does this shampoo remove hard water and product buildup?

The formula contains chelating agents that bind to metals and minerals commonly found in hard water, allowing them to rinse away instead of lingering on the hair shaft. Apple cider vinegar helps dissolve and lift styling residue and flakes, while the overall cleanser restores a neutral base for color and styling.

• Chelating ingredients target minerals like iron and calcium that cause dullness.
• Apple cider vinegar exfoliates scalp flakes and clarifies strand surfaces.
• Rinses clean without harsh sulfates, avoiding over-drying when used as directed.

Will this shampoo dry out or damage my hair?

Used 1–2 times weekly as a clarifying step, OUAI Detox Shampoo is formulated to clear buildup without daily over-cleansing. The sulfate-free base minimizes harsh stripping, and keratin helps support hair structure during the detox process. Follow with a moisturizing conditioner or mask to replenish softness if needed.

• Sulfate-free surfactants reduce aggressive stripping.
• Keratin supports strand strength and smoothness during clarifying.
• Recommended frequency: once or twice a week for most hair types.

How do I use OUAI Detox Shampoo in my routine?

Apply to wet hair, lather focusing on the roots and areas with product or mineral buildup, then rinse thoroughly. For heavier buildup, a second quick lather can help—then follow with your regular OUAI conditioner to lock in softness and manageability. This product replaces your regular shampoo only for clarifying washes.

• Wet hair, apply a generous lather to scalp and mid-lengths.
• Rinse well; repeat once if buildup is heavy.
• Finish with conditioner or treatment to restore moisture balance.

Can I color-treat or chemically process my hair with this shampoo?

OUAI Detox Shampoo helps remove mineral deposits and surface buildup that can accelerate color fading from hard water, but like all clarifiers it can make color appear brighter immediately after use. It’s safe to use on color-treated hair when limited to recommended frequency, and following with color-protecting conditioner can help preserve tone.

• Reduces minerals that cause uneven color fading.
• Safe for treated hair when used occasionally, not daily.
• Follow with OUAI conditioner or color-care products to maintain tone.

Who this product is for: OUAI Detox Shampoo is ideal for anyone experiencing dullness, reduced volume, or scalp residue from hard water, heavy styling products, or frequent product use. It suits all hair textures and color-treated hair when used sparingly as a weekly or biweekly clarifying step. If you want a clean, refreshed foundation before styling without harsh sulfates, this formula offers a practical, salon-grade reset that complements OUAI’s full-care routine.
