Is Hard Water Ruining Your Hair?

Hard water build-up on hair can leave it feeling limp and lifeless. The calcium and magnesium minerals can accumulate on the hair follicles and dramatically reduce the shine of your hair. Hard water deposits on skin have also been linked to conditions such as eczema and acne which are exacerbated as the hard water deposits irritate the skin even further. If all the above was not bad enough hard water minerals can also build up in hair causing it to feel dry, dull and unhealthy.

There are some natural solutions such as using white vinegar with the rinse water you use – but this can be very tedious after a while! Another solution is to use bottled water with low mineral content that should in theory rinse away the build-up of scale on your hair strands. However, buying bottled water just to wash your hair is not great for the environment.

By learning about specific products that are specially designed to deal with hard water you can easily combat the harmful effects. Using the correct shampoo can make the difference between dull, limp, lifeless hair and hair that feels soft and shiny again.
