Why we recommend it
Kenra Clarifying Shampoo is a color-safe clarifier that removes up to 99% of the dulling deposits — chlorine, minerals and product buildup — that hard water and heavy styling leave on the hair, and it adds a little shine back with mica. That matters most on dense Asian hair abroad, where harder water than back home builds a film that reads dull and flat, and on highlighted or gray hair where brassy dullness shows fast. Used weekly in place of your normal wash, it brightens and resets without stripping salon color. It suits swimmers, hard-water households and highlighted or gray hair; because a clarifier is by nature a strong wash, skip daily use on brittle hair and always follow with conditioner.
