Should I dilute clarifying shampoo?

First I would like to know why shampoo, conditioner etc should be diluted?

And...

I'm in the process of going natural and will use micro braids to grow my hair out till a desired length and I bought Avalon Organics Lemon Clarifying shampoo and conditioner to clean my braids of build up.

So since it is natural and clarifying should I dilute the conditioner and shampoo?

Please and Thank

I don't think it's necessary to dilute the conditioner, but the shampoo might be okay. It will be easier to rinse if you do dilute it.

I dilute my Suave Clarifying shampoo whenever I use it (2-4 times a year). Clarifying poos can be harsh and very concentrated...all you need is a little, so squirt it in your hand, add a bit of water, and then apply.

I dilute my conditioner because it works better (for whatever reason), when water is added to the situation. It gets slipperier and helps the detangling process.

Thank you so much. Today marks the day I go natural!!

Starting with the BIG chop and then micro's in the next 3 weeks.

what is the difference between a clarifying shampoo and sulfate free?

i actually used the suave clarifying poo and it does remove the buildup but i find it leaves it too squeeky clean and dmn near hard.

me personally, i dnt have a problem with sulfate poo's, then again my hair is still extra short and i have a slight case of ocd so i NEED to see suds to verify the clean-ness; yes im weird! so i guess ill see the difference in sulfate free poo's once my hair is longer, lol
