GHOSTBOND Clarifying Shampoo: The New Name for PHL #5 Shampoo
Professional Hair Labs #5 Shampoo is now called GHOSTBOND Clarifying Shampoo. The change came with GHOSTBOND's 2026 rebrand, and Clarifying Shampoo arrives in its new packaging from 2 November 2026, in a 250 ml bottle.
What GHOSTBOND Clarifying Shampoo is
Clarifying Shampoo gives the hair and scalp a deeper cleanse than an everyday shampoo. It removes excess oil, sweat, styling products and residual build-up, leaving both thoroughly clean and ready for the next step.
It is designed to be used as part of a maintenance routine or before a new application, when a clean surface helps the adhesive bond properly.
Who it suits
Clarifying Shampoo suits wearers who use styling products, those with an oily scalp, and anyone preparing for a fresh application. Professionals use it to reset a client's hair and scalp before bonding.
Key features
- Deep cleanses hair and scalp
- Removes excess oil, sweat and product build-up
- Suited to maintenance and pre-application routines
- Leaves hair and scalp clean and refreshed
