I was about to say if you don't live somewhere with hard water you'd be fine. Since you have hard water I would suggest investing in a bottle

Yeah you do. But acv does the trick too

Be careful with ACV it is very drying. You don't need to use alot and I would never put it on my hair straight. Absolutely should be mixed with water.

Do we really NEED any of the bajillions of products and tools we buy?? Just get it and enjoy it lol

Sorry I meant acv rinse. A couple as tables spoons and a couple of cups of water does the trick

I never heard of them a few years ago when I had hard water but I did use acv and bottled water as a final rinse and did fine. I haven't seen chelating shampoo in the stores I frequent but mizani has one - you can get it on amazon.

I only chelate because I have it a clarifer and chelate combination product (Joico).

I'd think u'd need it to rinse out your relaxer or if you're like me I have hard water and even with a filter I still sometimes need to chelate. I'd suggest paul mitchell three or Organic Root Stimulator Creamy Aloe, and I happen to have an extra bottle of the Paul Mitchell Three I can send you if you're interested just pm me. Make sure to dc after chelating it may make your scalp feel kinda dry and if you're trying to use a gentle shampoo that's good for hard water terax latte is pretty good too out of them all I like ORS for the moisture PM3 for the clarity and softness terax for the gentleness

yes you need one. Just get the smallest - travel size bottle. Unless you live in the Miss Delta or some other place with very bad water and/or use alot of products, 1x/m usage will be sufficient.
