Hair feeling greasy and weighed down no matter how many times you wash it? Get ready to reboot your regular haircare routine and hit reset with our all-new best detox shampoo – the Like A Virgin Clarifying Detox Shampoo!
In the daily chaos of life, our hair takes a beating from styling products, hard water and pollution. And, while a regular shampoo nails daily cleansing, a clarifying (or chelating) formula is also needed to do the heavy lifting.
Like regular shampoos on steroids, a detox shampoo doesn't just clean; it dives deep to rescue your hair and scalp from the dullness abyss. So, do your sad-and-sorry strands a favour and read on to discover how our Detox Shampoo will bring back the bounce and shine in a single shower session.
Apply detox shampoo onto damp hair and scalp, massaging from your roots to your ends to ensure thorough coverage. For best results, allow the shampoo to sit on your scalp for a few minutes, enabling it to deeply cleanse and remove buildup. Rinse thoroughly, then apply a hydrating conditioner to nourish and detangle your hair. We also recommend following up with our Leave-In Conditioner for extra protection from pollution, ensuring that your hair is not only thoroughly purified but also shielded against environmental stressors for healthier hair growth and scalp health.
Our detox shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse your hair and remove impurities, so we recommend using it once a week for optimal results. This frequency allows for effective detoxification without stripping your hair of its natural oils. For those with particularly oily scalp or heavy product buildup, adjusting to twice a week may be beneficial, but it's important to monitor your hair's response and adjust usage accordingly to maintain balance.
If your roots are constantly greasy or your scalp feels weighed down no matter how often you wash, your hair might be begging for a detox. Detox shampoos are a game-changer for oily hair, flaky scalps, and product junkies who love their leave-ins, dry shampoos, and styling sprays a little too much. The truth is, regular shampoo often can’t cut through all that buildup. That’s where a clarifying formula comes in.
Our Clarifying Detox Shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse without stripping your hair’s natural moisture. One of the key ingredients in the best detox shampoos? Hibiscus vinegar. It enhances shine and detoxifies the scalp, while regulating sebum production, exfoliating for improved scalp health, and delivering soothing antioxidant benefits.
Plus, if you live in a hard water area (hello, flat hair and itchy scalp), detox shampoos with chelating agents are your new BFF. They work to remove mineral buildup so your scalp can breathe and your hair can bounce back to its full, voluminous self. Using a detox shampoo like ours once a week is the perfect way to hit refresh.
Removes 74% of air pollutants and 66% of hard water metals after one wash.
If you minimize heat styling and chemical processing but still have dull, dry and brittle locks, chances are you’re dealing with hard water. An issue in many parts of the world, hard water refers to the amount of magnesium and calcium in the water. These minerals reduce the foaming ability of shampoo & conditioners and leave residue on your strands, while air pollutants and product build-up also wreak havoc with scalp health.
Ever find that the more you wash your hair, the greasier it feels? Hard water is part of the problem – so, we created a solution with our Clarifying Detox Shampoo!
Featuring unique chelating technology (which we’ll explain in a sec), our deep cleansing shampoo removes a whopping 74% of air pollutants and 66% of hard water metals*. A gentle surfactant system also whisks away stubborn dirt, oil and debris for a balanced scalp and visibly refreshed strands.
*Results observed as an average reduction of a selection of metals in scientific-technical testing on hair exposed to contaminated hard water after 1 use of Coco & Eve Clarifying Detox Shampoo.
While adding a specially formulated clarifying shampoo to your washing routine once weekly will remove product build-up, a chelating shampoo is what you’ll need to remove the mineral deposits left by hard water.
Unsure if you’re dealing with hard water? Mineral build-up will typically result in dry, brittle strands prone to breakage, an itchy scalp, loss of volume and shine, brassiness and that dreaded ‘F’ word – frizz.
Both detoxifying AND chelating, our shampoo helps to remove the hardness from tap water, while binding to and removing the minerals and impurities that cause hair dullness. Our unique Chelating Technology contains three chelating agents: tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, phytic acid and sodium gluconate. This optimal combination has been shown to have 2.5 TIMES MORE capacity to chelate iron and copper compared to the most common chelating agent, Tetrasodium EDTA. Plus, it’s non-sensitising, biodegradable and of natural origin!
Not all detox shampoos are created equal. The best detox shampoo doesn’t just deep clean—it resets your scalp, strengthens your strands, and leaves your hair feeling light, fresh, and totally revived. If you’re on the hunt for a truly effective hair detox treatment, these are the ingredients you’ll want on the label:
When you combine all of the above, you’ve got the formula for your healthiest hair days yet.
Just like you need a double-cleansed face to enhance the penetration of your serums, deep-cleansed strands are much better at absorbing conditioners, treatments and styling products.
With a clean and comfortable scalp and hair free from minerals, metals, product build-up, and impurities thanks to our detox shampoo, you’ll ensure optimal penetration of your other Coco & Eve products. This means you’ll get greater bang for your buck and enjoy even better results for your hair.
While we all love that ultra-clean hair sensation, you really shouldn’t have strands that squeak. Lucky for you, our detox shampoo uses a gentle surfactant to deliver a non-stripping, non-squeaky clean that leaves your locks soft and hydrated.
Formulated with lemon peel extract to moisturise, regenerate and exfoliate the scalp, soothing and sebum-regulating hibiscus vinegar and antioxidant-rich coconut water, the Detox Shampoo will leave your scalp hydrated and balanced and strands silky-smooth and refreshed from root to tip.
While the optimal pH level for hair is 4.5-5.5, the pH level of water in general is 7. However, hard water’s pH is even higher than 7, and this leads to parched strands, breakage and frizz.
With a pH of 5-5.4, our Clarifying Detox Shampoo helps neutralise the effects of hard water, maintaining optimal conditions for soft, smooth and resilient hair.

If you're looking for a deep-cleansing yet gentle option, Coco & Eve’s best Clarifying Detox Shampoo is formulated to remove impurities while keeping hair soft, hydrated, and healthy.
How often should you use a detox shampoo?
The frequency of use depends on your hair type and lifestyle:
✔ Oily Hair: Once a week to remove excess sebum and buildup.
✔ Dry or Damaged Hair: Every two weeks to prevent over-drying.
✔ Curly & Textured Hair: Once a month to maintain moisture balance.
✔ Active Lifestyle (Daily Workouts or Pollution Exposure): Up to 2 times a week for deep cleansing.
✔ Color-Treated Hair: Wait at least a week after coloring before using a detox shampoo.
Overusing a detox shampoo may cause dryness, so always follow with a hydrating conditioner!
Will detox shampoo strip hair color?
Older detox shampoos contained harsh surfactants that could fade hair color, but modern detox shampoos are much gentler. Here’s what to know:
✔ Color-Safe Detox Shampoos: Many detox shampoos today are designed to be safe for color-treated hair.
✔ Clarifying Shampoos: These may fade hair dye over time but usually won’t remove it completely.
✔ Rinsing Tips: Use cold water to help seal the hair cuticle and maintain color vibrancy.
✔ Avoid alcohol-based formulas which dry out hair.
If you have color-treated hair, choose a detox shampoo that is labeled color-safe and formulated with nourishing ingredients like coconut water or vitamin E.
