5. Maintenance and Storage
- Frequency of Use: Recommended for use once weekly or as needed, depending on product buildup and hair type.
- Storage: Store the shampoo in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity.
6. Troubleshooting
- Hair feels dry after use: While designed to be non-stripping, clarifying shampoos can sometimes leave hair feeling drier than regular shampoos. Ensure you follow up with a hydrating conditioner or hair mask, such as the K18 leave-in molecular repair mask.
- Insufficient lather: If the shampoo does not lather sufficiently, it may indicate significant product buildup. Rinse hair and repeat the shampooing process.
