However I was thinking about getting some Apple Cider Vinegar because it is also supposed to clarify hair. But in your post above you do mention ACV but you say it is not useful as a clarifier because the hair has not been exposed to any akaline substance such as hair relaxers. Well according to the pH charts used by kim luv of luv naturals the human hair has a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 and water has a pH of 7. If water is more akaline than our hair then wouldn't that be enough to open up our hair folicles? And if ACV was used as a clarifier wouldn't that do just that and close our cuticles and get rid of any residue? I have been watching kimmaytubes videos on pH balance.

Sounds like Redken Hair Cleansing Cream is not a clarifier that can't conditioner, but a conditioning cleanser that can't clarify.

A while ago I was going to Malibu my hair, and to do that I had to seriously clarify my hair. I used Redken Hair Cleansing Cream, which does contain conditioning ingredients, and left it on for 15 minutes, rinsed, and didn't use conditioner. I was amazed that my hair felt so clean and so soft at the same time. My hair is level "11" on top and dark on the sides, so making my blonde hair feel soft with no conditioner is no easy task. Maybe it was just a unique experience for me, but I think it will work for a lot of people. I have to disagree that clarifying can’t condition.
