After shampooing, do not use conditioner. Instead, rinse your hair with regular white vinegar. Don't worry, after your hair dries, it won't smell of the vinegar. It may take a day or two of washing your hair then rinsing with the vinegar, but the well water WILL come out.

Malibu 2000 makes a well water shampoo, vinegar did not work for me. Nothing worked until I found this product, it is wonderful. I have my hair back!!!!!

Not sure about well water build up but I know to remove hair sprayand shampoo build up I have used vinegar and baking soda. I have dark hair and it makes my hair shine. Thanks for reminding me it is time for another treatment. Maybe this will work for you. Ann

I found something that really works. Add either two teaspoons of vitamin c crystals or 2 large (I used 1000 mg) vitamin c caplets to a handful of clarifying shampoo. After the two are mixed apply to wet hair, put on a shower cap and blow dry underneath the cap.

For severe red-rust build up in your hair. There is a Malibu Crystal Gel treat specifically for well water.
And I spent a ton of money to finally find this remarkable product. You can get it done a SMARTSTYLE salons in Walmart stores for about 10 bucks. Make sure to specifiy well water crystal gel treatments. The gel is applied on your hair and with a cap you sit under the dryer for 20- 45 minutes.
It is a must do before you color your hair if you have well water. You can do this once per month.
This is the ultimate fix, better than Malbu 2000 Shampoo - or any home remedies. EC mode also makes a crystal gel treatment. If you have a friend who is a cosmetoligist you can have them buy these packs for a 1.75 each at beauty supply and you will need some process caps.

Baking soda does not work..it does make your hair feel cleaner and lighter but the color from the iron in well water is still very visible. I have had this problem for a while now and it has drove me CRAZY!

Hey, anyone does the vinegar really work on taking rusty well water from your hair, or the lemonade work better?
