This pre-shampoo step is formulated to act before you shampoo: it adheres to the fiber, rebuilds micro-breaks and limits how much metal-laden water the hair absorbs. Use it as part of the Metal Detox routine for the best balance of protection, strength and manageability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this pre-shampoo help hair exposed to hard water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treatment forms a surface layer that reduces the hair’s immediate uptake of metals present in water, so less metal enters the fiber during washing.
