Does anyone have suggestions for effectively removing mineral deposits (from well water) from hair?

My hair used to be blonde, but now is a dull brown color due to iron deposits. Tried using vinegar, but that didn't really help. Have also tried one commercial chelating shampoo, but that didn't do the trick either.

    it wont smell very nice but, a mixture of lemon juice and white vinegar will do the trick, rinse well with warm water and make sure you don't have any scratches or cuts on your scalp! Also I checked with pro and they said it could be from a certain medication you might be taking. If this is so you will so you will need speak with your doctor.

    Ask at the nearest beauty salon--they have probably run into this before.

    Once you get your hair treated and looking more blonde again, buy bottled water to wash your hair or go to a salon and have it done--provided of course that the salon is not using well water, too!!!

    Good luck!!

  • Yes. I can't remember the name of the product. Go to a professional hair salon and ask them. There is a product that is applied and left on for a few min. and restores your hair to its natural color. Call your nearest hair salon and ask for this service. It's not expensive. It's like a shampoo and they will sell it to you. Hair Dresser, Syd.
