“Whether you should recommend synthetic or natural hair additions to clients depends a great deal on their lifestyles.

End her hard water angst today with Malibu Wellness Actives Hard Water Weekly Demineralizer. Containing vitamin C complex and enhanced with nourishing chelators, this preservative-free treatment makes short work of mineral deposits that are often associated with well and even city-supplied water without causing additional dryness or ruffled cuticles.
Why? Well water can have an excessive amount of iron that deposits dingy reddish-brown stains on sinks, toilets and even hair. If that weren’t enough to put her beauty in a bunch, iron can make hair feel dry and brittle and even cause chemical services - such as coloring, highlighting and relaxing - to fail.
Iron Solutions

The right one should specify that the product removes well water or mineral deposits, as opposed to just ordinary product residue.
Just a few of the more gentle clarifying products on the market include:
If one application of a clarifier fails to remove discoloration, the next time she shampoos, instruct her to leave the clarifier on for five to eight minutes. If she has an extreme case of iron maiden, it may take a couple of applications for a complete recovery.
