Hair is made up of protein. Every touch, every treatment, every style you love—it all rewrites your hair’s protein. When protein is damaged, hair’s look and feel is compromised. That’s why Nexxus uses protein science not just to repair hair but to restore its ability to perform. It isn't about one perfect hair day. It's about a lifetime of healthy hair, built strand by strand. When hair faces excessive oiliness, product build-up, or environmental impurities, its protein matrix can be disrupted. Excess sebum and residue block moisture and active ingredients from penetrating deep into the fiber, leaving hair heavy, dull, and hard to style. But harsh cleansing can backfire—stripping essential lipids and making hair tangled and prone to breakage. The key? Purify without compromise and replenish what hair needs to stay strong. CLEAN & PURE, our detox collection, is powered by CLARIFIX BALANCER technology with lactic acid to deeply cleanse hair from root to tip for reduction of buildup and to rebalance optimal lipid levels. This shampoo is silicon, sulfate and paraben free. This shampoo and conditioner hair care system strengthens proteins at the core while restoring natural shine and movement—so hair feels clean, soft, and healthy without the heavy buildup. Nexxus, the protein science behind powerful hair since 1979.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this shampoo work without unnecessary ingredients or additives?
Yes. The formula strips away excess—no silicones, sulfates, or parabens—while keeping only what your scalp needs: CLARIFIX BALANCER technology with lactic acid for effective buildup removal and lipid rebalancing. It's intentional simplicity that actually works.
Will the unscented 33.8 oz option fit seamlessly into my minimalist bathroom?
Perfect fit. The natural-scent option is designed for those who prefer uncluttered sensory experiences and neutral aesthetics. A single, clean bottle handles your scalp detox needs—minimal visual clutter, maximal efficacy.
How often do I need to use this to see results?
Use weekly or bi-weekly depending on your scalp. That's it. Simple, predictable, and effortless. One clarifying routine every 1–2 weeks keeps buildup at bay without overcomplicating your hair care—the minimalist approach to scalp health.
Does this replace multiple specialty products?
Yes. This single formula tackles buildup removal, scalp rebalancing, and damage repair—eliminating the need for multiple bottles and complicated routines. One focused product, multiple benefits: the essence of minimalist design.
Is the ingredient list straightforward and transparent?
Absolutely. No hidden chemicals, no unnecessary frills. The CLARIFIX BALANCER technology is the hero ingredient, supported by clean, paraben-free formulation. What you see is what you get—honest, simple, effective.
How do I use Nexxus Clean & Pure Detox Shampoo in my weekly routine?
Use once weekly or bi-weekly depending on your scalp type. Wet your hair, apply the shampoo, massage into your scalp for 1–2 minutes to allow the CLARIFIX BALANCER technology to work, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your regular conditioner to lock in moisture and manage any tangles.
Can I use this shampoo on color-treated or highlighted hair?
Yes. The clarifying formula removes buildup without harsh sulfates, so it won't strip color. However, because it's a deep-cleaning treatment, use it only weekly or bi-weekly and always follow with a hydrating conditioner to maintain color vibrancy and moisture.
Does this work on all hair types—oily, dry, curly, and straight?
Yes. The CLARIFIX BALANCER technology targets buildup (excess sebum, product residue, metal ions) on any hair type. The lipid-rebalancing action helps dry or damaged hair avoid over-drying, while the 99% buildup removal benefits oily and product-prone scalps. Results are universal, but frequency can be adjusted by hair type.
What's the difference between the 13.5 oz and 33.8 oz sizes?
The 13.5 oz fragranced option is travel-friendly and ideal for trying the product or using occasionally. The 33.8 oz natural-scent size is a value option for committed, long-term use—perfect if you're doing weekly or bi-weekly detoxes and want consistent supply at a better per-ounce price.
Will this shampoo remove buildup from silicone-heavy products I've used before?
Yes. The CLARIFIX BALANCER technology is specifically designed to remove 99% of buildup, including silicone residue, excess sebum, product buildup, and metal ions from hard water. It's ideal for transitioning away from silicone-dependent products while keeping hair soft and manageable.
What's in the box when I order?
You'll receive the Nexxus Clean & Pure Detox Shampoo in your chosen size (13.5 oz fragranced or 33.8 oz natural-scent). No additional products are needed to start, but pairing it with your regular conditioner enhances results by replenishing moisture after the clarifying treatment.
Is this shampoo tested for safety and efficacy?
Yes. The formula is backed by consumer validation: 98% of users felt their hair was healthier after use. The CLARIFIX BALANCER technology with lactic acid is science-backed and proven to remove 99% of buildup while supporting scalp health through pH-balanced, lipid-rebalancing formulation.
Will clarifying shampoo make my hair feel dry or damaged?
Unlike harsh clarifiers, Nexxus Clean & Pure includes lipid-rebalancing and tangle-minimizing technology, so your hair stays soft and manageable post-wash. It removes buildup without stripping essential oils—solving the common problem of overly harsh clarifying shampoos that leave hair brittle.
How does this compare to chelating shampoos or deep-cleaning treatments?
Both clarifying and chelating shampoos remove buildup, but they work differently. Chelating shampoos are more aggressive and target mineral/metal ion buildup specifically (hard water, pool chlorine). Nexxus Clean & Pure clarifies gently with CLARIFIX BALANCER, removing a broad range of buildup (sebum, product residue, and metals) without harsh stripping—making it suitable for regular, weekly use.
Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp or scalp condition?
Yes, but introduce it gradually. The gentle, non-stripping formula and pH-balanced composition support scalp health. However, if you have an active scalp condition (psoriasis, dermatitis), test a small amount first or consult your dermatologist. The paraben-free, sulfate-free design is generally well-tolerated on sensitive scalps.
