When you have hard water in your home you can experience some real bad hair days. This can be very frustrating day after day and can also cause damage to your lovely locks. Here are some tips you can use to help battle the flat, unruly hair caused by hard water.
EDTA Shampoo
Look for shampoos containing EDTA. This ingredient is used to remove mineral build up in your hair and hard water is the number one cause of mineral build up. These shampoos can be found under many names such as chelating, neutralizing and clarifying. However if they don’t contain EDTA you will not have the results you are after. EDTA will bind to minerals and remove them as you rinse.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Okay, this may sound a little unusual, but you can make an apple cider vinegar rinse for your hair using 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar and ¼ of distilled water. Use this in your hair and leave on for a few minutes – then rinse with cold water. This not only helps remove the minerals but offers bounce and shine as well.
Moroccan Argan Oil
This is the miracle cure for all your hair woes. Argan oil helps smooth and moisturize even the dullest and most lifeless hair assisting with everything from frizzies to hard water hair. This ingredient can be found in many hair care products and can be applied when your hair is wet, used in shampoos and conditioners or as a finishing gloss. Do not apply too much to the roots as it is quite heavy but hair loves it on the tips.
