Hydration vs. Clarifying Shampoo: Which One Are You In Need of?

I’ll never forget the first time I realized my hair needed different kinds of care depending on the day. On one wash day, I reached for a co-washing conditioner (I used to wash my hair/scalp with conditioner….never again), hoping it would revive my dry curls after a week of protective styling, only to find that no matter how much conditioner I used afterward, my hair still felt heavy and dull. A few days later, I switched to a clarifying shampoo, and suddenly my curls bounced back, soft, defined, and full of life! That’s when it clicked: my natural coily hair doesn’t just need moisture, it also needs balance. Learning when to reach for hydration versus when to hit reset with a clarifying formula completely transformed my routine, and Pattern Beauty’s Hydration Shampoo and Clarifying Shampoo have become my go-to duo for keeping my coils thriving! Both are essentials for a healthy wash routine, but knowing when to use which can make all the difference in how your coils thrive.
