The Ultimate Hair Detox
While clarifying is simply removing the dirt and oil from the surface of the hair, our Chelating Shampoo is designed to:
- Do away with build up from hair care products
- Bind itself to the harmful particles in air pollution that have settled on hair
- Remove metals and minerals that exist in hard water and chlorine water
Many locations around the world have hard water, and all well water is hard. If you soap your hands in hard water you will notice that it is difficult to get lather up because the minerals in the water are reacting to organic fatty acid in the soap. On top of this, most rivers where we get our water from have some form of pollution.
You may not be able to see the effects immediately but over time your hair will become dry, dull, and listless. To combat this we go for hair treatments, pile on serums and oils in order to battle the effects of our limp lifeless hair. But what we actually are doing is adding buildup that is left behind from our hair care products to our already overloaded hair.
To effectively remove these deposits in your hair you need a chelating agent. Our chelating agent is Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate. Now I know that sounds like a nasty chemical but Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is actually made from plant material. We chose it because is super safe for humans and is biodegradable which is great for our environment.
We like to think of our Chelating Shampoo as the ultimate HAIR DETOX. It will bring your hair back to life, giving it softness, bounce, and sheen. It is also a key component for a successful treatment with our Hairprint Color Restorer.
HOW TO USE
Use the Chelating Shampoo every two weeks as needed to remove synthetic residues, oils, hard water minerals and chlorine from the hair. Apply to wet hair and let sit 3-5 minutes before rinsing. If you like, use one of Hairprint Daily Conditioners to finish it off.
HOW TO USE WITH HAIRPRINT COLOR RESTORER
7 days before application, use our Chelating Shampoo two times in that week, leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes, then rinse. If you like, follow with Hairprint Daily Conditioners. One day before your Hairprint True Color Restorer application apply the Chelating Shampoo and do not use any conditioner. Avoid use of the Chelating Shampoo for 7 days after your Hairprint application.
