L’Oreal Professionnel Metal Detox Shampoo - Hard Water Chelating Shampoo For Damaged Hair, Removes Metal Build Up and Protects Color & Shine, Paraben & Sulfate Free

After moving somewhere with very hard (and specifically iron filled) water a few years ago, my hair really began to suffer. It started breaking off like crazy, wouldn't (or couldn't) grow fast enough to make up for it, and anywhere my hair was color treated, the dye washed out and was replaced with a nasty bright orange color.I tried everything. Seriously, everything. The Malibu Hard Water kit did absolutely nothing for me, all it did was dry out my hair without actually removing what I needed it to. The filter I put on my showerhead wasn't able to block enough of the iron in the water to make a noticeable difference, no matter what brand I tried. There are only TWO products that have helped with the iron in my hair, and this is one of them.I've been using this shampoo for a few months now (I use it about once a week to try to make it last longer since it's so expensive, but I also only wash my hair twice a week, so every other time) and I've noticed a difference in the quality of my hair. While it's still more prone to breakage than it was before I moved here, it's softer and I don't have to clean my hairbrush as often. The most noticeable difference is that the bright orange iron deposits in my hair are gone now - it's just a faded, normal blonde color.I don't think my hair will ever get back to how it was as long as I'm using this water, but using this shampoo makes it bearable and I no longer feel like I'm under threat of losing literally all of my hair. If you're having issues with iron or other metals in your water affecting your hair, this is the shampoo you want. And if you're really desperate and need extra help, there's one more product that I've found to actually work among the many I've tried: Color Wow Dream Filter Pre Shampoo Mineral Remover.You spray it on your dry hair and wait a few minutes before getting into the shower and rinsing it off, but I usually leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then you shampoo and condition like usual. This was the only product that worked for me at all before using this shampoo - it made my hair softer and noticeably less orange. The shampoo has been working so well that I haven't bothered to buy more of it and try the two of them together, but if you're in a serious situation with your hair and need help, get both of these products. They're the only ones that have worked for me out of everything advertised for it.(And as a side note, I always chose to purchase the Dream Filter Mineral Remover from Sephora to make sure that I was getting a genuine product. I buy a lot of things from Amazon, but if I read the reviews and get the hint that there might be illegitimate copies mixed into the product supply, I find it somewhere else. I bought the shampoo here because I didn't see anything to indicate that was the case, but you might want to go to Sephora for the other just to be safe. It's usually expensive beauty products that they do this with.)

Every time I use this shampoo someone asks me if I just got my hair done! If you are several weeks away from a highlight appointment use this to get the brassiness out of your hair. The scent is so amazing and lathers really well so you know it is working. After blow drying, my hair not only looks freshly highlighted it’s soft and smells great! Works really well.

THIS IS T H E MOST HYDRATING SHAMPOO IVE EVER USED OMG, I rotate through 3 shampoos depending on needs (Fino for regular weekly wash, Tsubaki red bottle for protein treatments every other month, and this for monthly clarifying) and this is definitely the most hydrating (they all are very hydrating but this is the best!). With this being a chelating shampoo, I was scared it would be stripping for my hair and leave it dry but I was VERY happily surprised to realize that my hair was not only very clean without buildup, but also super soft and hydrated! I never understood the concept of a second shampoo after clarifying cause the first shampoo is enough but in terms of maintaining hydrating and cleaning this is wonderful! This is very expensive but it should last a very long time close to a year probably as you shouldn’t use this more than once a month AT MOST if you wash weekly. With black high density high porosity hair, we tend to use a lot more product on our hair so clarifying/chelating is a MUST for us. This is my first use, and I used this when I did a blow dry and trim with silk press since it leaves my hair bare but not dry. When I went to moisturize after, my hair felt so much better and stronger too and I love that! If you have the money, I HIGHLY recommend investing in this as it deals with not only dirt and oils but also hard water (if you live in the US you definitely deal with hard water). I’m so excited to see the health of my hair in the coming months/year and will update if anything happens! All around 10000000/10 especially for my fellow type 4 fam!!!!!

I purchased this along with the pre-shampoo treatment, the conditioning mask, and the conditioning cream. After looking up specifically how to use them all I finally did my hair treatment last week and was amazed. I have long curly frizzy hair which tends to be dry. After using these products I blew my hair out straight and it was silky soft in a way I’ve never felt it. I used them on my daughter last night and blew her hair out and she loved how her hair felt and also loved the scent. We have hard well water and even though we have a water softener system I still feel like the water is hard and my hair always feels so dry and frizzy. I plan to use these once a week and hope my hair will get healthier and have less breakage. They are a little pricey but I don’t mind since they made my hair feel so amazing. On top of that you don’t need to use a lot of product. I probably have to use more than most people because my hair is long and I have a lot of it but still the shampoodid lather up nicely using only a little over a quarter coin size amount. Highly recommend for anyone with hard water.

Works well.For second wash I use Redken Acidic Bonding Shampoo. They're expensive however you only need a small amount. Finally my hair feels like mine again.
