Could someone name some chelating shampoo's except mizani, that is the only one I hear people talking about.
I know that we have very hard water here in London
Found this info:
Reasons to clarify the hair is to remove buildup from the surface of the hair. 3Tablespoons of Baking Soda (not baking powder, they are not the same thing) well blended with 3Tablespoons of Shampoo will work excellently! It's a little drying, so be sure to follow immediately with a deep conditioning or leave the conditioner of your choice in for a longer than normal time (perhaps putting up in a shower cap or plastic bag and returning to the shower to rinse out).
Baking Soda is a natural cleansing agent that I use in laundry to help lift stains. In breads, it's a quick riser. Baking Soda+Baking Powder in quick bread recipes (combined with egg) replace yeast in rising bread recipes.
One can choose to purchase a Clarifying shampoo. If doing so, be sure to look for that term on the label, and be forewarned there is a thing known as Chelating Shampoo. If interested in clarifying, do not purchase a chelating shampoo with that term on the label. Chelating Shampoo goes deeper, working at the level of the cortex of hair, and removes chemical bonds from the hair strand. For example, in salons to prepare the hair for coloring or perming, the hair is washed with a chelating shampoo.
In some buildup situations, one might need to Clarify Shampoo two times, remotely possible a third. If one thinks they need to Chelate, it's important to start by Clarifying first to be sure. If unsure, try two times of clarifying before thinking about going to chelating. Some people know what they're after, so in this case do what you know to do...but don't just go to chelating if you are unsure. Proceed in a stage by stage manner.
In both clarifying and chelating, these really remove the oils off the hair and leave the strands very vulnerable, perhaps a bit brittle-y if not conditioned well, and certainly fly away and crispy sounding during detangling (once the hair is dry. By this I don't mean detangle dry hair only although that's an important concept; no, I mean once clarifying or chelating is complete, if the hair isn't conditioned immediately in that session and allowed to air dry (or dry how ever) then the hair might sound crispy or crackly during detangling, once dry).
Hmmm now I wonder if I should use a cheleting shampoo
