Chris McMillan is taking the “skinification” of hair seriously.
The legendary stylist has officially launched The Clarifying Shampoo, a once-weekly treatment designed to deeply cleanse and support the scalp barrier while giving you that satisfying, minty tingle that tells you it’s working.
The product is centered around a cool, invigorating sensation that McMillan describes as “like a cold plunge for your scalp.” Formulated with menthol and peppermint oil, it’s one of those formulas you can actually feel doing its job, think of it as the hair equivalent of a really good skincare product.
McMillan also notes that you should “double cleanse your scalp with The Clarifying Shampoo,” adding that a deep cleanse is integral to a good head of hair.
No matter what kind of hair you have, The Clarifying Shampoo is designed as a once-weekly reset. Depending on your routine and how much buildup you have, McMillan says you could use it up to two times a week.
The formula includes encapsulated niacinamide to support scalp barrier health and balance oil production, plus hyaluronic acid to smooth the cuticle and lock in moisture, so hair stays soft even without conditioner.
You can shop The Clarifying Shampoo now in stores and online at Sephora + the official Chris McMillan website.
