The right hair care regimen is crucial for maintaining healthy, beautiful-looking hair. While regular shampooing and conditioning can help keep hair clean and moisturized, there are times when our clients may need a more targeted approach to hair care. Two types of hair treatments that can help with this are clarifying shampoos and chelating treatments.

Clarifying shampoos are designed to remove buildup from the hair and scalp. This can include product buildup, excess oil, and environmental pollutants. Clarifying shampoos are typically more powerful than regular shampoos and can leave the hair feeling clean and refreshed.

Chelating treatments, on the other hand, are designed to remove mineral buildup from the hair. This can include hard water minerals, chlorine, and other metals that can accumulate on the hair over time. Chelating treatments are typically more powerful than clarifying shampoos and are especially beneficial for clients who live in areas with hard water or exposed to metal and mineral build up.

So, who would benefit from each treatment? Clarifying shampoos are great for clients who use a lot of styling products, live in areas with high levels of pollution, or have an oily scalp. Chelating treatments, on the other hand, are ideal for clients who have hard water buildup and need to remove minerals and metals from their hair.

It's also important to note that these treatments should be offered as a service behind the chair. As hairstylists, we can provide our clients with the right treatments and products to keep their hair looking and feeling its best.

When it comes to determining which treatment is right for your client, it's important to look for signs of buildup. If your client's hair feels heavy or greasy or has become difficult to style, a clarifying shampoo may be in order. If their is not responding to products or chemical services the same anymore, or has a greenish tint (a sign of copper buildup), a chelating treatment may be needed.
