Effects Of Using Hard Water On Hair

Hard water is commonly used in most Indian homes for various purposes, but mostly using it to wash your long tresses. Using hard water on your hair will cause more damage than you think and some of us are oblivious to it. You may often blame the shampoo your using or the oils, leaving behind the main culprit, water!

Hair fall, dry hair and above all split ends are caused due to the hard water. On top of this we try in every possible way to protect our hair with chemically based shampoos, which does not help at any cost. However, the only way to stop this damage is not using hard water on the hair. If you continue to do so, here are some of the effects of using hard water on your hair causing more and more damage with every wash.

Take a look at the effects of hard water on the hair:

Hair Fall

If you have been oiling and looking after your hair everyday and still face the problem of hair fall, it could be due to your water. This is one of the main effects of using hard water, it increases hair fall.

Dry Hair

If your hair is dry even after the constant application of essential oils then the problem lies in the hard water. The chemicals present in the water reduces the natural oil from the hair thus making it dry.

Dull Hair

After your hair turns dry, it looks dull and it is all due to the hard water. As mentioned the chemicals in the water removes the shine from your tresses.

Frizzy Hair

In time, your hair loses its balance and thus becomes dry, frizzy and lifeless. This is another effect of using hard water on your hair.

Dandruff!!!!!!!

Dandruff is one of the common hair problems which is only due to the hard water. The chemicals give rise to an itchy scalp in turn helping dandruff to form

Split-Ends...

Split-ends is the other effect of using hard water on your hair. While combing your dry hair the hair splits into tiny strings, usually at the bottom of the hair.
