Can anything remove Cones???

[Songbirdb]

I hear from some that Apple Cider Vingear can remove cones? Is this true? Or are sulfates the only thing that can remove cones?

yes, clarifying shampoo. or chelating....ACV will remove residue but cannot remove ALL cones. Thats why i dont bother with it.

Here's a link to the archives which explains cones. There could be updated info..so maybe search around on the net to be sure.

Do clarifying and chelating shampoos use sulfates though?

Most do. I try to steer clear from sulfates on a regular basis. I mostly just co-wash my hair. But every month or so I sometimes clarify my hair with a shampoo that has sulfates in it. Sulfates are a harsh detergent, but detergents are good for cutting through caked on things.

ACV will not remove cones, and it's a light buildup remover - but it's a great finisher/final rinse for smoother shiner hair.
Baking Soda will remove most cones, and most buildup.
Sulfates will strip everything except mineral residue.
Chelators will strip mineral residue, and if it contains sulfates, it will strip cones/buildup as well.

HTH!

JustKiya thanks for breaking that down. That was great info! And all this time, I was thinking something different.

thanks for sharing this. I had plans of purchasing acv for a rinse but will now purchase a clarifying/chelating shampoo instead.
