Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I use this product for a different reason than most of the reviews so I wanted to write one in case anyone comes here for the same reason! I live in an area with very hard water and it wreaks havoc on my hair. It gets dry and dull and very tangly. I have used this product in the past to deal with this: Malibu C Hard Water Weekly Demineralizer 12-pk. It removes mineral build up from the hair and it really does work! However, it's insanely expensive. The cheapest you can get it is around $2 per single use packet, and that's here on Amazon at a deep discount. So, I did some research and figured out that the ingredients in the product that are doing the work are citric acid and disodium EDTA, which are both mineral chelating agents, meaning that they bind to the minerals on your hair and remove them. Citric acid was more familiar to me and seemed easier to obtain so I bought this product. And it totally works! Every time I shower I put about a teaspoon of citric acid into a big jar with about half a gallon of water or more. After conditioning and doing everything else, I carefully pour the jar of water over all of my hair (it's pretty long). I DON'T rinse my hair again with my shower water after, because it seems counterproductive to get the mineral-y water on there again, but you could easily experiment with that. I DO rinse off the rest of my body. Be careful not to get the citric acid solution in your eyes! It's somewhat dilute but it will still burn and there's an eye warning on this product. However, if you do get it in your eyes (I did once) just rinse them out for about five minutes in the sink and you should be fine (I'm not an ophthalmologist). My hair has gone back to being soft and smooth! It's much easier to brush and it's actually visibly shinier. I recommend this method to anyone dealing with hard water! This citric acid is soo much cheaper than any product made for hair would be and works the same. It will last forever and I'm very glad that the bag is resealable.
