Clarifying shampoo can strip hair of its natural oils and, when used on colored hair, it may also fade the color more quickly than regular shampoos. It's meant to remove build-up from the hair, so it's excellent for deep cleaning but should be used sparingly on color-treated hair to avoid accelerating color loss.
