Clarifying & Chelating

[alishaxmarie]

I've never used a chelating shampoo so I'd like some suggestions of shampoos that both clarify and chelate? I usually follow every wash with an acidic rinse (ACV to be precise) but recently I read that acidic rinses are better at keeping the hard water minerals down to a minimum rather than fully removing them. I do live in an area with hard water and, as it's summer, I regularly swim in pools or the ocean.

Also, how often do you clarify your hair? Should I wait until I think I actually need to clarify or is it alright to just clarify every month even if I could probably do it less often without suffering from the typical signs of build-up? I mostly use water-soluble cones like bis-aminopropyl dimethicone but occasionally I'll use a serum with a mix of cones that are more prone to building up.
