To combat the effects of hard water, you can either use a stronger chelating shampoo, which works by attaching itself to the minerals and washing them away, or a clarifying shampoo, which helps break down residue from the water buildup (via Byrdie). Celebrity colorist and Mark Ryan Salon co-founder Mark DeBolt shared with Byrdie that Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo is "the best product in the world for hair affected by hard water." It's sulfate-free, and protects your hair from environmental damage. It further helps remove the minerals that damage the color and quality of your hair, while depositing proteins and moisture.
If the hard water is seriously ruining your hair's volume, StyleCraze recommends Ion Purifying Solutions Hard Water Shampoo because this color-safe shampoo prevents future buildup in your hair, while adding shine and body. It is gentle enough to use daily.
Good Housekeeping's favorite clarifying shampoo is Ouai Detox Shampoo because it cleans your scalp without leaving it dry. It's perfect for all hair textures, and safe for color-treated hair because it deep-cleans without stripping the color. If you are looking for a soothing experience, Marie Claire is a fan of the tried and true Living Proof PHD Triple Detox Shampoo. It removes buildup, absorbs excess oil, and moisturizes the scalp to give you clean and nourished hair.
