3.5 per mlTypical for a chelating shampoo

Chelates mineral buildup from hard water while strengthening hair from within. Leaves hair soft, clean, and free from the dullness, dryness, and breakage that hard water causes.

View our clinical test results here.

deSal Hard Water Defense Shampoo is powered by Disodium EDTA, a chelating agent that binds to mineral ions and lifts them completely off the hair shaft — something that regular shampoos cannot do. D-Panthenol penetrates the hair to strengthen, soothe the scalp and seal in moisture. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates the hair cuticle from within to fight dryness and frizz. Argan Oil seals the cuticle and adds lasting softness and shine.

With regular use, hair feels cleaner, lighter and stronger with significantly less breakage and tangles.

Dull, Lifeless Hair with No Shine

I have been using it 1 time per week for 4 weeks now. I completed my purchase last month. So basically I live in sushant lok area of gurugram and water there was spoiling my hair. Too much hair fall was there. So I was following these guys on Instagram and really liked there honesty in content and bought from there. And I think I for sure made a right decision. I am gonna buy again. Thanks.

I gifted it to my Mom, and our home tds is 250ppm. She just loved how her hair felt softer after use, and scalp felt so clean. She has tried multiple shampoos before, but nothing worked but now she's gonna stick to this one. Thanks deSal.

I have already tried the sample before and ordered a combo pack now. After two washes my hair were visibly less frizzy and there was no buildup either. I am very happy with my purchase.

Amazing product. Saw the difference from the first use. Great product at a great price.
Much needed for anyone facing hair issues like frizziness due to hard water.
Now I don't have to go for expensive salon treatments.

I've been using deSal Hard Water Shampoo some time now, and I'm really happy with the results. I live in Gurgaon where the tap water TDS is around 250, and hard water always made my hair look dull. Earlier, no matter which shampoo I used, my hair would start looking greasy and unclean soon after washing. Since switching to deSal, my scalp feels properly clean, my hair is much softer, and the frizz has reduced noticeably. The best part is that my hair still looks fresh and manageable even the next day after washing, which never used to happen before. I also feel like my hair is becoming healthier with regular use. If you're dealing with hard water, deSal is definitely worth trying.

I started using deSal Hard Water Defense Shampoo a week back and I am honestly impressed by the product. Previously my hair used to be quite dry and the dryness has almost completely vanished after 2-3 washes. Also I used to have some mineral buildup (dandruff sort of) in my hair always and after using deSal, that completely went away. Great product at this price point. Sorted for the next couple of months with this x2 pack, will be back again for more for sure.

Found deSal through the recommendation of a family member, and honestly, it works like magic on my hair. I was losing so much hair density and my hair we're full of buildup all the time, it has all really changed and it makes my hair feel so light and soft. Really love it! Also the TDS meter was such a smart move

Been using DeSal's hard water defense shampoo for a while now and really pleased with the results. My wavy/curly hair get really difficult to manage in water with a TDS over 300. But thanks to their targeted formulation, it's become so much easier! My hair has been softer, more manageable and there's been visibly lesser hair fall from the very first wash. Highly Recommended!
Eagerly waiting for the conditioner to be released too!!

​I recently tried this shampoo after oiling my hair prior to washing. While it didn't produce excessive foam initially due to the oil, it cleansed my hair thoroughly and effectively.
​My hair felt noticeably soft and light right after washing. Removing the product buildup seems to have freed up my natural hair structure, as my hair started curling naturally afterward. It was a pleasant surprise and felt great. Overall, a fantastic shampoo that delivers on its promises!

I recently purchased deSal Shampoo and I am extremely happy with the results. After using it, my hair feels much softer, smoother, and more manageable. I noticed a visible improvement in the dryness and roughness of my hair.

The quality, fragrance, and refreshing feel after every wash are excellent. This shampoo suited my hair very well and gave a pleasant experience.

A great product with amazing results. I would definitely recommend deSal Shampoo and would love to purchase it again.

The shampoo you have made is actually great. I have used Iluvia and moxie before this, but they actually were good but either were little out of budget or did not last longer in terms of cleansing nature and smooth feel. the hard water shampoo of ur company actually did suit me better. I have tried more products earlier, but many shampoo example of mamaearth onion one, caused a little discomfort to my hairs. itching etc. but this did not. maybe i have a little sensitive head, but this goes well on me.

I am very happy with the product and recommend to all the persons who is facing the same problem.

I have used this shampoo for my last 2 washes and the difference is real. Hard water usually leaves my hair heavy, frizzy and dry. But this leaves it feeling light, clean and silky.

Bought the pack of two so my husband and I both use it. Our water is brutal here and this is the only thing keeping my hair manageable.

switched to deSal recently and I'm genuinely impressed. It completely lifted the heavy mineral buildup and restored soft, manageable texture to my hair from day one. My scalp feels light and fresh. 10/10 worth it!

This is the nicest shampoo I've ever used! It leaves my hair feeling incredibly soft, clean, and healthy after every wash. The fragrance is amazing without being overpowering, and it gives my hair a smooth, shiny finish. I've noticed my hair feels much more manageable, and a little goes a long way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a shampoo that truly delivers great results!

This shampoo made my hair so soft and shiny after just a few washes! It doesn't strip away moisture. Love the gentle lather and fresh scent. Leaves my scalp clean without feeling dry or rough. I recommend this shampoo for everyone having issues with hard water hair damages.
