Silicone Detox is built on a formulation feat: making a duo of clays (green Velay clay and white kaolin) lather in synergy with the organic nettle hydrolat from the Côte d'Or. A first on the market of 100% natural clarifying shampoos.

APPLY IT WHERE IT ALL HAPPENS: THE LENGTHS
Unlike a classic shampoo that targets the scalp, Silicone Detox works mainly on the lengths. That is where residue builds up, and that is where it needs clearing.
Once the fiber is freed, your usual hair care can finally penetrate. Your routine regains all its efficacy, as if you were discovering your products for the first time.

All about silicone detox
How often should I use Silicone Detox, the clarifying shampoo?
Silicone Detox deeply purifies your hair and your scalp.
It removes the invisible residue of silicones and oils that weigh the fiber down and dull its shine. Result: your hair regains lightness, suppleness and natural shine from the very first wash.
It is a clarifying paste shampoo to be used occasionally, when your hair feels heavy, flat or saturated with products. For hair that always stays fresh and light, we recommend up to 4 uses per month.
Can I use Silicone Detox on my sensitive scalp?
Yes, absolutely.
Silicone Detox is perfectly suited to all scalp types, even sensitive or dry ones. Its sulfate-free formula relies on very gentle sugar-derived cleansing agents, working in synergy with rebalancing organic nettle hydrolat and a duo of purifying clays that cleanse without being harsh.
Its main mission is not to wash the scalp, but to free the lengths from buildup. It gently removes the excess of silicones, oils and residue that weigh hair down.
For an optimal result, massage it mainly onto the lengths and ends, where buildup is most present.
94% of our testers noticed a gentle cleansing of the scalp.*
Your scalp is respected. Your lengths regain lightness, suppleness and shine.

Can Silicone Detox damage or dry out my hair?
The goal of Silicone Detox is simple: start again from a healthy base.
It removes the silicones, oils and residue that coat the fiber. These coat the fiber and give an illusion of softness on the surface, but stop your hair care from penetrating. It's like foundation for your hair.
After use, it is normal to feel a slightly "squeaky" effect. It is the sign that your hair is truly purified and cleared of buildup. The stronger this effect, the more your hair needed clearing; and the more it now needs deep care.
If your hair is damaged, absolutely follow up with the LAO Care Bond Repair Treatment. Its patented PEPTICARE® active regenerates more than 73% of keratin bonds from the first application. Clear, then rebuild.
For daily maintenance:
- Lightness Routine for fine hair
- Softness Routine for normal to thick hair
Which hair types is Silicone Detox suitable for?
LAO Care Silicone Detox suits all hair types.
Fine or thick. Straight, wavy, curly or coily.
Its formula purifies the fiber without weakening it and gives every hair type a perfectly healthy base. Whatever your texture, your hair regains lightness, shine and natural movement.
An essential step for curly and coily hair. Regular use of creams, gels and finishing oils leads to rapid buildup on the lengths. Curls get weighed down, lose their bounce, and styling products hold less and less well. Silicone Detox deeply clears the fiber of buildup: curls regain volume at the root and their natural definition, and your finishing products work to their full potential again.
Is this clarifying shampoo suitable for colored hair?
We recommend avoiding Silicone Detox right after coloring.
Its deep clarifying formula could slightly dull the vibrancy of your new color by removing some of the pigments still on the surface of the fiber.
However, applied just before your coloring, it becomes a real ally. By clearing the fiber of silicones and accumulated residue, it opens up the cuticle and lets pigments adhere more evenly and more durably. Result: a color that is more even, better set and more vibrant over time.
Our advice: use Silicone Detox 48 to 72 hours before your next coloring to prepare the fiber, then wait at least 3 weeks after coloring before using it again.
How do I know if I need to clarify?
- When your lengths look heavy, greasy or dull despite your washes.
- When your curls lack bounce and become hard to define.
- When you want to switch from conventional care to a more natural routine, on a healthy base.
- When you feel your products no longer work.
In each of these cases, your hair is simply saturated. Silicone Detox frees it to reveal its true texture, its lightness and its natural shine.
What is the difference between the Purifying Shampoo, the Bond Repair Shampoo and Silicone Detox?
The three LAO Care shampoos meet three distinct needs.
The Purifying Shampoo is our best-seller for daily use on fine hair prone to oiliness. Thanks to organic nettle hydrolat, it regulates excess sebum and rebalances the root. Its very light, oil-free formula, free of film-forming agents, leaves little residue on the fiber.
The Bond Repair Shampoo is the 1st step of the Bond Repair Treatment. Made with organic rose hydrolat, it gently cleanses the scalp and prepares the fiber by removing some of the film-forming residue, so that the mask's PEPTICARE® actives can penetrate fully. It does not thoroughly clear the fiber of buildup: it is a preparatory shampoo, not a clarifying one.
Silicone Detox is by far the most deep-cleansing of the three. Its paste of clays and organic nettle lathers abundantly and works deep on the lengths to remove silicones, oils, quats and styling residue built up over the months. It is the only one in the range to offer a true hair detox, of both the scalp and the lengths.
In summary:
- Purifying: daily maintenance of fine, oily hair
- Bond Repair: gentle preparation of the fiber before regeneration
- Silicone Detox: deep reset, to be used as a treatment course or when switching to natural
What is a clarifying shampoo for?
A clarifying shampoo is a cleansing care product designed to deeply remove the residue that builds up on hair: silicones, mineral oils, quats, styling deposits, leftovers of film-forming products. Unlike a classic shampoo that cleanses the scalp, a clarifying shampoo works mainly on the lengths to free the hair fiber from buildup.
LAO Care Silicone Detox is the first 100% natural-origin clarifying shampoo, COSMOS ORGANIC certified. It gently clears the fiber of buildup thanks to a duo of French clays and organic nettle hydrolat, without being harsh on the scalp. Ideal as a treatment course, when switching to a natural routine, or to free hair saturated with styling products.
How long before I see the first results?
The first results of Silicone Detox are visible from the very first use.
From the first wash, your hair regains lightness and movement. 72% of users notice less weighed-down hair from the 1st wash*, and 81% immediately get their natural movement back.
For a lasting result, we recommend using it up to 3 times a month. Over time, by combining Silicone Detox with a suitable care routine, your hair will regain its full potential: suppleness, shine, volume and better absorption of your usual hair care.

How do I fit Silicone Detox into my hair routine?
Silicone Detox is used in place of your usual shampoo, up to 4 times a month.
Here is how to fit it into your routine depending on your need:
- As a transition course (switching to natural): 1 use per week for 3 weeks, then move on to the natural routine suited to your hair.
- As regular maintenance: 1 use every 2 to 3 weeks to keep hair light and receptive to your hair care.
- Before a Bond Repair Treatment: 1 use to clear the fiber of buildup, then follow with the Bond Repair Shampoo, the Bond Repair Hair Mask and the Leave-In Cream for deep regeneration.
Can Silicone Detox remove henna?
No, and it comes down to chemistry. Silicone Detox is a clarifying cleansing care product: it removes what deposits on the fiber (silicones, product residue, pollution, limescale) and gives the hair a healthy base again. Henna, on the other hand, is not a surface deposit: its pigment bonds durably inside the keratin, which makes it almost indelible. So Silicone Detox cleanses deeply and softens the coated effect that henna sometimes leaves, but it does not erase the color.
