Olaplex No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo

A deep-cleansing shampoo designed to remove product build-up, excess oil, hard water minerals, chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities without leaving the hair feeling stripped. Formulated with Olaplex's bond-building technology, No.4C helps create a cleaner foundation for healthier-looking hair while maintaining softness, shine, and manageability.

Suitable for all hair types, especially those experiencing build-up, dullness, or hair that feels heavy and difficult to manage.

Why I Recommend It

This is one of my favourite clarifying shampoos because it gives the hair a proper reset without leaving it feeling harsh or squeaky.

I often recommend No.4C for clients whose hair no longer feels as clean as it should, isn't responding to their usual products, or seems to get oily quickly. Product build-up, excess oil, hard water minerals, chlorine, and environmental impurities can all accumulate on the hair over time, making it look dull, feel heavy, and affecting how other products perform.

A clarifying shampoo can help remove that build-up, allowing your shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products to work more effectively.

I also love using a clarifying shampoo before an intensive treatment. By removing build-up from the hair first, treatments are able to make better contact with the hair, helping you get the most out of your masks and repair treatments.
