Olaplex N°.4C Clarifying Shampoo 250 mL — Deep-Cleansing, Color-Safe Weekly Clarifier

Olaplex N°.4C Bond Maintenance™ Clarifying Shampoo is a weekly deep-cleansing formula that removes buildup and impurities to restore color vibrancy, shine, and softness for all hair types.

Designed as a targeted clarifying step in your hair routine, this pH-optimized shampoo clears away chlorine, hard-water minerals, pollution residues, excess oil, and styling product buildup without stripping treated hair. It works alongside Olaplex bond-building technology to reinforce hair strength and improve how well repair treatments perform, making it suitable for chemically processed, color-treated, and natural hair textures alike.

How does it remove buildup without overdrying fragile hair?

The formula avoids harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES) and uses a broad-spectrum clarifying system that lifts impurities while respecting hair’s moisture balance. It produces a rich, refreshing lather that traps and removes particles from the cuticle without aggressively stripping natural oils.

• pH-optimized to gently lift cuticles for effective cleansing
• Formulated without SLS/SLES to reduce dryness
• Removes heavy metals, chlorine, pollution, and hard-water minerals
• Rinses clean to leave hair ready for restoration treatments

Will it help my color look brighter and last longer?

Yes—by removing deposits that dull pigments, this clarifying shampoo restores color vibrancy and improves shine. Because it cleans without harsh stripping, it’s safe for color-treated hair and helps subsequent color-care products perform more effectively.

• Clears residue that masks color saturation and gloss
• Safe for chemically treated and dyed hair
• Prepares hair for conditioners and Olaplex repair treatments
• Use weekly or as needed to refresh color and shine

How does it support hair repair and reduce breakage?

Olaplex N°.4C works with Olaplex’s bond-maintenance approach, strengthening and reinforcing disulfide bonds while eliminating substances that accelerate damage. Cleaning the hair and scalp deeply makes bond-building products more effective, helping hair become more resilient over time.

• Enhances the performance of Olaplex treatments and routine products
• Targets everyday damage-causing impurities that weaken hair
• Helps reduce future breakage by improving overall hair health
• Dermatologist tested and suitable across porosity levels

How often should I use this clarifying shampoo and on what hair types?

This is intended as a weekly clarifying step or used as needed when buildup is noticeable. It’s formulated for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair and works across fine to coarse textures and all porosity levels.

• Recommended weekly or when you detect heavy buildup
• Works on fine through coarse textures and all curl patterns
• Safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair
• Integrates into repair routines to maximize results

Who is this for? Olaplex N°.4C Bond Maintenance™ Clarifying Shampoo is aimed at anyone who wants a thorough weekly cleanse—people with hard-water buildup, swimmers, those exposed to pollution, and anyone using multiple styling products. It’s especially useful for color-treated or chemically processed hair that needs clarifying without sacrificing strength or moisture, and for anyone who wants to maximize the benefits of Olaplex bond-repair treatments.
