HARD WATER.. Lets talk

Hard water is sooo common in the Hudson Valley because we have well water. Especially if you don’t have a water softener, your hair may be highly impacted by something as simple as the water we wash our hair with. (If you are curious to see how damaging your water may be, check out these testing strips. ) I meet a lot of people that have just moved to The Hudson Valley from NYC and they all are so upset with the condition of their water. City water has stricter regulations then ours.
What can hard water do to our hair? Everything you don’t want! Fade/dull hair color, breakage, dryness, hair being weighed down. The minerals left behind can clog your hair follicles causing dry scalp and other scalp conditions. Severe circumstances lead to hair loss.
So what can you do?
To begin your journey to healthier hair, I recommend starting with a shower head filter like the aquabliss filter attaches on, to any shower head and effectively filters the harsh minerals from your water. Following this, consider booking a hard water detox treatment to thoroughly cleanse your hair and eliminate residual buildup. Using K18 & Malibu C to get your hair right!! Additionally keeping up at home with, specialized shampoos such as L’Oreal’s Metal Detox or Malibu C Hard Water Wellness can further aid in removing iron/ other mineral deposits and restoring your hair’s vitality.
