Shampoo, rinse and pour Hard Water crystals across wet palm. Rub hands together, adding water to dissolve crystals. Apply and scrunch throughout hair, then allow to remain on hair for up to 5 minutes. Rinse. Shampoo, rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner, then rinse. To make it worse, the heavy minerals also prevent other products like shampoos and conditioners from working effectively, causing layers of extreme buildup over time.

Here is a list of what the treatment does and its key benefits: To Remove Hard Water Minerals from the Hair People living in hard water often find their hair feeling dry and weighed down from minerals like calcium, magnesium, copper, chlorine, and iron. Those who use residential wells also face a similar problem with high iron content turning their hair reddish brown or orange over time.Due to its early success in using vitamin C to improve skin and hair conditions, Malibu C’s original wellness hair remedy line became famous in households and professional salons worldwide. Malibu C will repair, restore and rejuvenate your world class hair extensions for continued use of Viola aftercare as it is the best products for your hair extensions.

While chelating shampoos are not as harsh as clarifying shampoos, they must still be used sparingly to avoid over-drying the hair and prevent discoloration. When you’re washing your hair with hard water, the positively charged minerals collide with the negatively charged surfactants, bonding together into neutrals (no charge). The shampoo loses its negative charges, thus eliminating its ability to rinse out. As a result, both the minerals and the undeveloped lather from the shampoo remain in the hair, creating layers of residue. Why Do You Need A Special Shampoo for Hard Water? Regular shampoos are not designed to cut through minerals buildup. Their main purpose is to clean up an oily scalp and make the hair soft and smooth.If you’re here, you’re probably in a desperate search for the best hard-water shampoo, or chelating shampoo, or something to rid you of the demons haunting your hair. As a refresher, hard water is water that's naturally higher in minerals—minerals that can bind to your hair and (1) dry it out, leaving it brittle and damaged; and (2) ruin your hair color, stripping it away or messing with its hue to the point where the best hair toner or color-depositing conditioner won't help. But short of moving to a new home or installing a hard water-filtering shower head (which will only help to a degree), your best and easiest step is to add a tried-and-tested hard-water shampoo to your hair routine. Sodium Gluconate is a sodium salt of gluconic acid, a naturally occurring organic acid found in fruits, honey, and wine. It is a white, odorless, and water-soluble powder. When used in cosmetic products, it can bind to metal ions and other impurities to remove them. Alkalinity from hard water swings the pH to the other extreme, causing the hair’s cuticles to swell and the scalp to become vulnerable to bacterial infection. Hence, people develop conditions like Atopic Dermatitis (AD), dandruff, eczema, and irritation when using hard water for a long time. Read: A 2020 review of 16 previous studies concluded that exposure to hard water could worsen symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD).

Clarifying shampoos, on the other hand, will help strip away some of the mineral build-up—along with basic product build-up—but they aren’t as effective at harder-to-remove minerals, and they may not even remove tough product build-up, like waxes and silicones. The range of “Hard Water” treatments naturally removes hard water deposits to eliminate brassiness, discolouration and damage to your hair caused by mineral absorption. Shampoos contain negative charges in the form of anionic surfactants (detergents) that generate surface tension and reduction to cleanse the hair and scalp. The negative charge of surfactants also allows them to suspend and dissolve in water. That’s why people living in hard water areas often find that their hair is dry and difficult to style.A demineralizing shampoo traps minerals, chemicals, metals, chlorine, and oxidizers to flush them out and restore the pH balance while eliminating buildup and other hard water hair issues. One of the main problems with hard water is that it causes limescale buildup on taps, kettles, and appliances, clogging up pipes and even reducing the efficiency of heating systems. This, in turn, drives up energy bills as the appliances have to work harder. Hard water and well water minerals carry positive charges. And if you remember from your chemistry classes, positive charges attract negatives. Our range of Malibu C Shampoos are superior clarifying shampoos created for the removal of styling product resins to instantly restore your hair’s maximum manageability.

The treatment readies the hair, making it a clean canvas for chemical services like color and keratin treatments. The most worrying problem with hard water minerals coating the hair is that they create an obstructive barrier that prevents products like moisturizers from penetrating and adequately moisturizing and nourishing the hair, leading to weaker strands, straw-like texture, and eventually hair loss when they start breaking into pieces closer to the roots. The fresh-activation delivery system releases the vitamin C onto the hair within seconds of application. The treatment uses a multi-action formula to gently lift away impurities and buildup and normalize the hair’s pH balance. It deep cleanses without leaving the hair too dry, unlike sulfate-based shampoos. Although the treatment is considered safe for anyone, performing a patch test before use is advised. Chelating products are designed specifically to remove minerals,” he says. These work by actually attaching to the mineral buildup in the hair and washing it away. On the other hand, he says that clarifying shampoos often contain stronger detergents which make them great for breaking down all residue, including excess oil and product buildup in addition to mineral residue. However, clarifying shampoos can also be quite stripping and potentially fade color-treated hair.Water is classified into 2 categories: hard and soft. Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, chlorides, and sulphates, while soft water has low levels of these minerals. Whether you're dealing with build-up from hard water or well water, this cult-favorite (seriously) shampoo from Ion will get your hair clean with two chelating ingredients: EDTA and sodium gluconate. It's also ~technically~ sulfate free (though still uses some strong clarifying cleansers), making a slightly milder choice on the spectrum of hard-water shampoos. The Malibu C crystals are mixed with water to create a gel-like consistency that can be applied to the hair and scalp. Typically, most shampoos—even the bottle you've got sitting in your shower right now— will contain one or two ingredients (known as chelators) to help break down minerals. But the difference between your regular shampoo and a hard-water or clarifying shampoo is the amount and strength of each chelator in the formula. The Malibu C crystal gels are meant for one-off use, so read the instructions carefully. Ideally, it’s better to use the gel every 3 weeks to reset your hair and clear out stubborn minerals build-up that makes your hair feel weighed down.
