II have the book "Curly Girl" and they recommend a few things to clarify. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to. If anyone has tried them, please share your results!
"Lemon Aid"
It says "more clarifying and cleansing tha any shampoo, this moisturizing and neutralizing tonic adds shine to your hair and removes buildup. It's especially good for very dry or damaged hair"
-Combine juice of 1 large lemon with your usual amount of conditioner, then rinse through hair thoroughly.
Also here's something for a weekly scalp treatment. It says "since your scalp is also skin, give it a special exfoliating treatment once a week or s. Exfoliating will slough off any dead skin cells or conditioner buildup, making your scalp healthier and relieving any itchiness. Mix up and apply the exfoliating scrub"
-1 tablespoon brown sugar or quinoa (available at health food stores)
3 tablespoons of conditioner
Mix together to create a thick consistency
Wet your hair in the shower, then rub the paste on your fingertips. Apply to scalp and massage gently in circular motion, starting at the nape of your neck and moving upaward. Linger on any spots that seem tense or itchy.
Rinse throughly, then condition.
