Is hard water bad for hair?

[suicides_eve]

Don't invest in a shower filter until you get your water tested. The type of filter you need depends on the type of hard water you have.

mine is a multi variety type shower head made for a huge selection of nasties.

i never had my water tested but i know it has stuff in it b/c we have to change the well water filter very often.

inmo ,i would do the water testing only if i was getting a full house water treatment system.
i personally would rather spend a few bucks for something that dose a reasonably great job for my hair then having to spend hundreds on a install for my house. but thats just me.

Malibu Hard Water

I use it and like it a lot.

While that product itself may help with hard water and its effects on hair, their explanations are suspect at best. I wouldn't believe what they say about hard water without double checking what they're saying elsewhere.

We had soft water for years, and then moved and now we have hard water. I know my hair and skin have completely changed. Our water has a lot of sulfer in it, and my hair is oily all the time, and my skin stays irritated. I will definately go to the hardware store and look into a filter, I don't know why I never thought of just puting one in my shower. The complete systems are just so expensive! Great question and thanks for all the info!
