3 signs your water is damaging your hair (and what to do about it)

Ever feel like no matter how much conditioner you use or how fancy (expensive!) the shampoo you just bought is, your hair is still frizzy and brittle? Or like your hair just won’t cooperate—dry, limp, or constantly greasy no matter what you do?

If so, it might not be your products… it could be your water.

Here in Houston, our tap water is packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium that make it “hard.” That hardness builds up on your scalp, dries out your hair, and can even block hair follicles over time.

Here are 3 common signs your water is sabotaging your hair:

• Your hair feels dry or brittle no matter what conditioner you use

• You see buildup on your scalp or greasy roots shortly after washing

• Your color fades fast or turns brassy—even when you protect it

Hard water can strip your hair’s natural oils and leave behind a film that dulls shine and affects texture. For many of our clients, switching to a whole-home water softener brought softness, shine, and manageability back—no salon deep-conditioning required.

Call to get your water tested and find out if it’s the hardness that’s actually messing up your hair.
