Description
OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo is a concentrated deep-cleansing shampoo designed to remove stubborn build-up without leaving the hair unnecessarily dry or stripped. The 250ml / 8.5 fl oz formula targets product residue, excess oil, pollution, chlorine, metals and minerals associated with hard water while helping restore softness, shine and colour vibrancy. Suitable for all hair types, textures and porosity levels, it is an effective addition to a weekly or occasional hair reset routine.
Product Overview
Regular shampoo removes everyday dirt and oil, but styling products, dry shampoo, mineral deposits and environmental impurities can gradually accumulate on the hair.
When this happens, hair may begin to feel heavy, dull or difficult to style.
OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo provides a deeper level of cleansing than a standard everyday shampoo.
Its broad-spectrum clarifying system is designed to remove a wide range of impurities from the surface of the hair and scalp. This includes residue from styling products, excess oils, chlorine, pollution and minerals commonly associated with hard water.
Despite its powerful cleansing performance, the formula is designed to cleanse without stripping away essential moisture.
OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo Benefits
One of the biggest advantages of OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo is the range of build-up it targets.
People living in hard-water areas may experience mineral deposits that leave hair feeling dull or coated. Swimmers may encounter chlorine build-up, while regular styling product users can gradually accumulate hairspray, creams, oils, dry shampoo and other residue.
Nº.4C helps remove these impurities so the hair feels cleaner and better prepared for conditioning and treatment products.
Clarifying also helps restore the appearance of shine, softness and colour vibrancy when dullness is related to surface-level build-up.

How to Use OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo
Use OLAPLEX No.4C Clarifying Shampoo weekly or as needed in place of your regular shampoo.
Dispense a small amount into your hands and emulsify the concentrated formula.
Apply to thoroughly wet hair.
Massage gently through the scalp and hair until a rich lather develops.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Follow with an appropriate OLAPLEX conditioner or treatment depending on your hair’s moisture and repair needs.
OLAPLEX advises that customers who have recently had permanent colour or a smoothing treatment should consider waiting around two weeks before clarifying and should check with their stylist where appropriate.

Not all build-up can be addressed effectively with a normal shampoo.

It tackles multiple sources of residue, including products, oils, chlorine, pollution and mineral deposits, making it particularly useful for people who style frequently, swim regularly or live in hard-water areas.
The formula is free from SLS/SLES, silicones, parabens, phthalates and added protein while remaining colour-safe and suitable for chemically treated hair.
Its concentrated format also means only a relatively small quantity is required per cleanse.
