Is it true that clear shampoos...?

Are detergent-based? Someone told me on one of my questions that they were, and I was like O: is it true??Is it true that clear shampoos...?
An acid pH, clear shampoo formulation containing a solubilized cationic resin in a detergent system maintained within a pH range of approximately 4 to 6.7, is described. Dilution of the clear shampoo formulation during the hair washing operation causes precipitation of an anionic/cationic complex which plates out on the hair and provides more facile combing of freshly shampooed hair. Tangles, pulled-out hair and other discomforts normally encountered with hair shampooing are minimized. The acid pH, clear shampoo formulation of this invention is especially beneficial for damaged, bleached, or cold-waved hair. The deleterious effects of shampooing damaged hair with alkaline detergent systems are avoided by maintaining the clear shampoo formulation within the acid range.








Yes, it has detergent composites in it, from that chemical makeup.Is it true that clear shampoos...?
From reading that link it seems that it's the opposite. It says they have a low acid ph, which is what you want, and it minimizes tangling and other discomforts. It's also considered better on chemically treated hair. I've used some Paul Mitchell shampoos that are clear and they are very good. I think it's a little confusing but Iit sounds like more of a positive thing than a negative.
