If you find yourself rinsing your hair over and over in the shower, but find that you still have shampoo and conditioner residue on your scalp, hard water is likely to blame.
Hard water is water that consists of hard minerals, typically magnesium and calcium, using grains per gallon (GPG).
Watercure USA is going to let you in on a secret that your stylist won’t tell you; hard water isn’t good for your hair, your scalp, or your dye job.
Hair Damage Signs from Hard Water
Washing your hair in hard water can result in an itchy, flaky scalp which often causes dandruff. Hard water often leaves hair feels stringy, thin, broken and frizzy.
Does your hair feel like it has a film to it after washing?
Hard water can leave a residue on hair, making it difficult for moisturizing products to get through effectively.
Salon Troubles Result in Hard Water
If you go to the salon but find that your dye job fades frequently, you’re probably washing in hard water.
Iron in well water and chlorine in municipal water both can oxidize and result in the faded dye color. People that experience this problem are likely to go to the salon for a touch-up more often, causing further damage.
You might have heard that you can combat damaged hair from hard water by using moisturizing masks and leave-in conditioners but these are only temporary fixes. In order to truly solve hair issues related to hard water, you’re going to want to use a water softener.
