Whenever I go down to my parents house my hair is the way its "supposed" to be- lovely waves and some spirals, fluffy, not too much buildup.
I'm pretty sure my apartment complex softens the water, but I HATE what it does to my hair. My ends are dry and knotty no matter what or how much conditioner I use, my hair is sort of flat and straw-like, and my scalp produces tons more grease.
I use the same shampoos/conditioners at both places. My hair was also happier at the hotels when I travel.
I have my doubts about the county water quality to start with (we're in a farming area, I'm looking at the charts and we are have some nitrates and such) and then they throw this softening crud in it.
I oil the ends of my hair a few times a week. I use Suave naturals conditioner.
Here is what I have thought of doing in addition:
ACV rinse
Rinse with distilled water
Rinse with filtered water from my Brita pitcher
Not washing every isn't really an option due to my greasy hair.
Any thoughts? Anyone else have weird water?
