Redken Detox Clarifying Shampoo Cleansing Cream, 8.5 fl oz — Removes Buildup & Strengthens Cuticle

Redken Detox Hair Cleansing Cream is a professional clarifying shampoo that removes product buildup, excess oil, hard-water minerals and pollution residue in one wash while helping strengthen the hair cuticle and restore shine.

Everyday styling, dry-shampoo layers, tap water minerals and airborne grime leave an invisible film that dulls hair and weighs it down. This clarifying cream from Redken uses a cleansing complex with alpha hydroxy (fruit) acids to lift residue and metal deposits like copper, iron, magnesium and calcium, so hair feels lighter, looks brighter and is primed for conditioner or salon services. It’s formulated for all hair types, including color-treated hair, and is intended for occasional deep-cleansing rather than daily use.

How does this shampoo remove buildup without stripping hair?

The formula balances potent cleansing agents with conditioning ingredients so it targets deposits without leaving hair brittle. Alpha hydroxy and fruit acids help break down film and mineral residue, while the cleansing complex lifts particles from the shaft and cuticle. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a conditioner to restore softness.

• Alpha hydroxy (fruit) acids to dissolve residue
• Cleansing complex that lifts oil, dry-shampoo dust and pollution
• Formulated to strengthen the cuticle during the cleansing process

Will Redken Detox work on color-treated or textured hair?

Yes — the product is developed for all hair types and textures, including color-treated hair. It removes surface build-up and mineral deposits that can dull color while being compatible with most color services when used as directed. For very dry or highly processed hair, use less frequently and pair with a moisturizing Redken conditioner.

• Safe for color-treated hair when used occasionally
• Suitable for curly, coily, wavy and straight textures
• Pairs with any Redken conditioner to rehydrate after detoxyfing

When and how often should I use this clarifying cream?

Use as a periodic deep-cleanse when hair feels heavy, looks dull or after extended product use or hard-water exposure. Most people benefit from using a clarifying shampoo once every one to four weeks depending on styling habits and water quality. Overuse can dry hair, so alternate with gentler daily shampoos as needed.

• Recommended for occasional use (weekly to monthly depending on buildup)
• Apply to wet hair, lather, then rinse and follow with conditioner
• Ideal before salon treatments to ensure a clean base

What visible improvements can I expect after one use?

After rinsing, hair typically feels lighter and combs more easily; shine is restored as surface film is removed. The formula targets hard-water minerals and styling residues that cause dullness, so color appears clearer and hair holds style better. Results vary by hair condition and frequency of use.

• Removes dry-shampoo particles, excess oil and grime
• Helps eliminate hard-water mineral deposits that dull hair
• Leaves hair purified, smoother and more responsive to conditioner

Who this is for: Redken Detox Hair Cleansing Cream is aimed at people who use styling products regularly, live in hard-water areas, or notice dullness from pollution and product buildup. It’s a professional-strength clarifying option for clients who need a deeper clean before color services or anyone seeking lighter, shinier hair after a single treatment. If hair is very dry or chemically compromised, use sparingly and always follow with a nourishing conditioner to maintain moisture and manageability.
