TIL a client's stylist told her to use a clarifying shampoo every single day.

She came in with hair so dry and brittle it snapped during a simple trim. That advice is for heavy product buildup, maybe once a week tops. How are stylists not explaining the basics of product chemistry?

My cousin's hair got like straw from over-washing (a cautionary tale, really).

My stylist friend says even weekly clarifying is too much for most people.

My own hair got so dry last year from clarifying every other day. I had to switch to a gentle shampoo and only clarify once a month now, and it made a huge difference. I agree with what @samthompson said, because weekly is still a lot for hair that isn't coated in product. It really strips everything out, even the good oils your hair needs. My stylist explained it like washing a sweater too much, it just wears out the material. That poor client's hair must have been completely stripped of any natural moisture.
