How to check any shampoo for hard water

  1. Read the ingredient list for a chelating agent (for example EDTA or citric acid). It is designed to bind minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
  2. Many mainstream shampoos list a small amount of a chelating agent such as Disodium EDTA. Seeing it on a label does not tell you how well that shampoo removes hard-water minerals; that depends on the type and amount, which labels do not show.
  3. Look for signs of hard water at home: white chalky marks on taps and shower heads, poor lather, rough hair after washing.
  4. Remember chelating shampoos can feel drying if overused, so follow the label and condition afterwards.
  5. A shower filter helps the water itself, but basic filters may not remove dissolved minerals. Check what a filter actually removes.
