I have very strong well water. It can turn my white clothes yellow and my hair is blonde, so it can get very brassy yellow as well. Any recommendations on a good shampoo that will help prevent this?

A water softener/filter system is not an option. This house is a rental and only for 6 more months or so.
Thanks for your answers so far!

The ONLY good shampoos are professional. Try getting a clairfying shampoo to remove the impurities and minerals from your hair. I recommend Nexxus Phyto Organics Kelate shampoo. It is color safe, organic, and smells SOOO good. You should also get a blue or blue-violet toning shampoo to negate any brassiness in your hair. Get Nexxus Simply Silver shampoo, it works really well. You should alternate between the clairfying shampoo and the toning shampoo. As for a conditioner, get whichever one best suits your hair type. Most likely your hair will feel dry from all the minerals. I recommend Nexxus Phyto Organics Hydraide moisturizing conditioner.

Since a filter is not an option why not refill your gallon bottles at your local grocery store or wal mart? the water costs no more than 50-60 cent a gallon. and its already filtered. Then you wont have to worry about trial and error with the different shampoos and conditioners.

If you own your home, consider getting a water softener and a filter system. I grew up in a home with well water and it turned everything yellow! We had a filter system installed and a softener installed and it helped greatly!
Good luck!

Your shampoo is not the problem...you need a water softener. If you install one, your clothes will not be yellow, and soap will work better. Get a water softener...if you don't, the yuck can end up eating up your pipes and cause major plumbing issues.

It all depends on which minerals or what is turning your water yellow .You could install a cistern and have treated water delivered monthly. When I used well water we installed a filter ("big iron" filter).This cleared our water before it hit the taps and made the stains on the sink , and tub go away,and our laundry was white .However before the filter I used " herbal essences " that worked fine on my hair.

Every once and a while that well water builds up in your hair. The way to get rid of the build up is getting well water treatments when you go to the hairstylist.
There is a product called Malibu well water treatment, you can use this, but you would be washing well water back into your hair.( if you use it at home)

matrix essentials ... alternate action shampoo2 - 3 times weekly & a conditioner that your stylist recommends. And every three months have a iron stripper done at your salon.

first make sure that you pick a shampoo that gives you a lot of moisture with a very good conditioner (such as john freida, or loreal)...also you may want to use one for blonde hair...also keep up your deep conditoning weekly...
