Yes, hard water shampoo can be effective at removing buildup.
Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave deposits on your hair, leading to dullness, dryness, and difficulty in styling. Hard water shampoos are specifically formulated to combat these effects. According to recent findings, these shampoos work through different mechanisms:
- Purifying Formulas: These types of shampoos are designed to generally remove buildup from the hair and scalp.
- Chelating Formulas: Chelating shampoos target and draw away the specific minerals found in hard water.
Both types of hard water shampoo can be effective at removing buildup, clearing up the scalp, and breaking down residues caused by hard water. Chelating formulas are particularly good at targeting and removing the mineral deposits.
