Yikes! Okay, I live in Oregon, same scenerio with water - some area's have higher iron amounts than others - anyways, to deal with the extremities I use a filter in my showerhead - it removes the impurities and the extra iron which makes my baby fine hair look like a brillo pad when I exit the shower!





Your question about clarifying shampoo - try this instead - it's a trick I learned from my mom - put a 1/4 to 1 cup baking soda directly in your shampoo bottle. The amount depends on the size of your bottle. Or, what I do is lather my hair, then add a palmful of baking soda on my head once or twice a month. It seems to really strip the product left over off my hair without paying a lot for clarifying shampoo.





Another trick is to use warm to cold water when rinsing hair as it closes the hair shaft.





I would also use a daily leave-in conditioner and minimize styling products.





Last but not least - take vitamins and drink plenty of water =)HARD WATER and HAIR... clarifying shampoo DOES ANYONE KNOW?
