If my skin and hair have one thing in common, it’s their tireless commitment (much to my dismay) to oil. Being an oily girl like me is nothing to be ashamed of, though, it just takes a lineup of build-up busting, clarifying products to keep things balanced. But finding such a lineup is easier said than done. Enter milk_shake’s deep detox shampoo ($58)—the first detoxing shampoo I’ve tried that not only clears the scalp of excess oils, product and more, but also provides volume, fullness and shine that lets you wash, air dry and be on your way with model-level strands.
What it is
I’ve tried quite a few clarifying shampoos in my many greasy days, but milk_shake’s deep detox shampoo became a fast favorite. Using a blend of camellia sinensis (colloquially known as green tea) extract and the brand’s signature milk proteins, milk_shake’s detox shampoo is specifically formulated to get rid of copper and lead residue from the hair for healthier, more radiant strands with each use. The brand calls it “a cup of matcha latte,” for the hair, and with its rejuvenating effects, I couldn’t agree more.
After just one shower with milk_shake’s deep detox shampoo, I was sold. When I reach for a clarifying shampoo, I’m looking for relief in my roots, but milk_shake’s deep detox goes above and beyond. Looking at the before and after from just one use and air dry had my jaw on the floor—not only did my roots look fresh and oil-free, I noticed more volume at the root than I ever get from air drying alone. My ends looked the shiniest they’ve looked since I had virgin hair. The way the product manages to add shine to your ends while also making your roots look clean and lifted feels like sorcery to me, so it’s no surprise I keep coming back for more.
How to use
Unlike many other clarifying or detoxing shampoos, milk_shake’s is safe for all hair types and suitable for regular use. I’ve been using milk_shake’s deep detox shampoo every time I wash my hair, as the nourishing combination of green tea and milk proteins helps to deeply cleanse while still maintaining color, adding hydration and shine, so you never have to worry about it stripping your hair.
