What is a Chelating Shampoo? you may ask? A Chelating shampoo is used for lifting mineral deposits that are in your hair due to hard water in your area. A regular shampoo cannot remove the mineral build up, these minerals can really bind into the hair and do not wash out. A clarifying shampoo will only remove product build up, not mineral build-up caused by hard water or chlorine deposits.
Chelating Shampoos are only needed if you have hard water or you are a swimmer. If you get chalky water marks on your shower screen you have hard water. Also if you wash your hair and it stills feels coated this can be due to the hard water rather than the shampoo. Other signs that you have hard water is that your hair will feel dry (no matter how much you condition) and limp and may even brake off.
You can use a Chelating Shampoo once a week or month depending on how hard your water is . The Chelating agents in the shampoo are;
Disodium EDTA
Tetrasodium EDTA
Sodium Citrate AKA Trisodium Citrate
