Hard water can cause some major damage to your hair. This is the kind of water that has a very high quantity of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium. Calcium salts find a home in the scalp and can cause flaking. It also contains magnesium, which can attach itself to the hair and leave it unruly and dry. So if you’ve been having too many bad hair days, you have the hard water in your shower to blame. But worry not, as we’re here to give you tips on how you can correct this problem. Read on.
Use vinegar
The acidity of vinegar will help you remove all the built-up from your hair. We suggest you use apple cider vinegar because this contains potassium, which is imperative for hair growth. It will also ensure that your hair is smooth, thus correcting split ends. Moreover, vinegar also makes the hair shiny and lends body to lifeless hair.
To apply this to your hair, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 3 cups of water. After shampooing, massage this mixture to your hair. Leave it on for a couple of minutes and wash off. Do this only once a week and see the results!
If you want to fight hair fall from hard water, the best way to do so is by using the Dove Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo. This product has the ability to strengthen hair follicles thereby making your hair so strong that it will fight the toxins that come with hard water. Moreover, this shampoo also contains Trichazole – a protein that gives the hair the required nutrients. It also contains Nutrilock actives, which can lock in nourishment in the hair and help hair growth.
Apply lemon juice
Citric acid in lemon is a natural chelating agent, which implies that it has the power to lift all the dulling and mineral deposits that settle into your hair due to hard water. This will leave your hair silky and smooth. Moreover, the acidity of lemon will flatten the outer layer of the hair thus making your hair less frizzy. To make the lemon rinse, take one tablespoon of lemon juice and add 3 cups of water. Apply this to your scalp and hair post shampooing. Rinse off after few minutes.
