Is Hard Water to Blame for your Bad Hair Days?

 The water flowing through most our faucets is considered ‘hard water’, which simply means water with a high mineral content largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates, among many other things. With all the minerals in our water leaving behind nasty limescale and hard water spots on our sinks, showers, faucets, dishes, etc., it is time to start realizing it’s on our hair and scalp too! With that being said there is a very real possibility ‘hard water’ is to blame for your bad hair days.
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium can literally create a rock wall on your hair and scalp causing so many problems for you and your hairdresser. Buildup of minerals can cause your natural or not so natural haircolor to become brassy or even green and muddy looking over time. The mineral build up can interact with haircolor and other hair products, causing strange unpredictable chemical reactions like hair smoking etc. Minerals on the hair can block haircolor from covering gray hair 100%. With the haircolor not able to penetrate the hair shaft you may also find haircolor fades faster. Hard water build up on the hair can be the reason your hair texture has changed and suddenly become dry, frizzy or weighed down and lacking volume. Worst of all dry scalp, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, thinning and hair loss may be at the fault of mineral build-up choking the hair at the mouth of the follicle.
If you want to make sure your hair is truly naked and free of mineral build up before any color or smoothing treatment to ensure you get the best possible outcome with the most long lasting vibrant results, if you want to know what your true texture or haircolor is, or if you just want to detox your hair from hard water buildup then a Malibu Makeover Detox Treatment is the way to go! It’s a two-part treatment that will first detox your hair from buildup using gentle antioxidants including fresh activated vitamin C and the second part will infuse moisture and strength building protein back into the hair.
