The characteristics of your water can determine how well (or poorly) your shampoo and conditioning routine works. Also, if your house water is chlorinated, mineralized or fluoridated, it can also have an effect on your hair.
You need water to shampoo your hair and hard water makes it harder to wash your hair. Each hair shaft is made up of little scales, like shingles on a roof. Hard water makes the scales stand up, which makes your hair feel rough and tangly. Since your hair is tangled and rough, it is more difficult to rinse out all of the soap. Soap is less effective in very hard water because its reacts with the excess minerals to form calcium or magnesium salts. These are not easily soluble in water and can result in soap film. Washing hair in soft, conditioned water will have a different result because it leaves fewer insoluble deposits on the hair.
The first step is determining the hardness of your water. The best way is to call for a free water test from Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems. Consumers can call 1-866-427-7757 for the free water test and other helpful information.
