Ingredients (Sachet): Glucose, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Betaine Regardless of which type of hard-water shampoo you grab, know that it's going to leave your hair feeling at least a little dry and stripped (sorry—that's the name of the hard-water game). So if you're super worried about dryness, look for a shampoo formulated with moisturizers, like the rich, oil-filled Mielle Mongongo Oil Shampoo or the hydrating Pattern Clarifying Shampoo.Regardless of the type of shampoo you choose, DeBolt says that it must claim to target mineral build-up, specifically copper, iron, and calcium. He considers vitamin C (like in the Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil Control & Balancing Shampoo) to be the most effective mineral-removing ingredient, but another great ingredient to keep an eye out for is apple cider vinegar (which can be found in the dphue Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse) . Mark DeBolt, celebrity colorist and co-founder of Mark Ryan Salon, counts this shampoo as the best product in the world for hair affected by hard water—and we’d have to agree. By simultaneously removing the waterborne minerals that damage and discolor your hair and depositing strengthening proteins and essential moisture, this formula takes a two-pronged approach to getting your hair into tip-top shape, making it the true standout of this list. There are also “Scalp Wellness” products that naturally remove and prevent the buildup of waterborne elements that can compound your scalp issues. The “Swimmers Wellness” products remove the build-up of minerals and chlorine to nourish, strengthen and protect your hair whilst preventing damage and discolouration caused by exposure to the pool, spa or ocean water. Let’s start with the basics—what is hard water in the first place? It’s a term used to refer to water that’s full of minerals, which doesn’t necessarily sound like a bad thing, right? Here’s the issue: These minerals build up and harden on your hair, ultimately leaving it dry and brittle, not to mention causing color changes, too. Along with changes in your hair texture and tone, other tell-tale signs of hard water are a less-than-luscious lather with shampoo and soap, flat and easily-tangled hair, and a film-like layer on the skin.

We didn't experience any issues, but some reviewers online mention their white hair turning yellow after use. While the jury's still out on whether or not the shampoo or the hard water itself is to blame, it's something to keep in mind. 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.Glucose, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Betaine. If you're dealing with major mineral build-up—like you just spent two weeks swimming in a chlorinated pool and showering in hard water—go for a tried-and-true chelating shampoo, like the Malibu C Hard Water Shampoo. But if you're not quite sure what your hair needs, try the Color Wow Dream Filter Mineral Remover (which will gently break down minerals) or the Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo (which uses sulfates to strip away all product build-up). Take a look at the ingredients Shelly Aguirre is a stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. She specializes in precision cuts as well as extensions and is known for helping teach her clients about the best ways to embrace and style their hair texture. 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. Ingredients (Shampoo): Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamide DIPA, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, PEG-16 Macadamia Glycerides, Polyquaternium 10, Linum Usitatissimum Seed Extract, Sodium Gluconate, Glucose, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance/Parfum, Limonene, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool

Key ingredients: sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate (sulfate-free clarifier); sodium gluconate and disodium EDTA (chelating agents) 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. 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. 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 best hard-water shampoo will be filled with a mix of chelating agents, like EDTA (the most popular and effective, which is why you'll see it in almost every product on this list), along with vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid), apple cider vinegar, sodium citrate, sodium gluconate, and/or citric acid. As long as your shampoo has a few of these chelators and also promises to breakdown build-up, you'll be golden. Manage your dryness expectations
