My hair is coarse, long and thick.\u00a0 I grew up in rural OH and had very hard water to contend with.\u00a0 Hard water, aka water containing large amounts of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, bicarbonates and sulfates, is not kind to girls with hair like mine\u2026 or any hair type for that matter.\u00a0 How do you know hard water is affecting your locks?\u00a0 I know the symptoms all too well.\u00a0 Let me share:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hair never \u201cfeels\u201d clean.\u00a0 You can\u2019t fully rinse out the shampoo or conditioner.\u00a0 There is always a residue sticking around.<\/li>\n<li>Your hair is dry (straw-like even), and breaks at the gentlest touch no matter how many deep conditioning treatments you use.<\/li>\n<li>Tangles upon tangles, regardless of the amount of conditioner applied.<\/li>\n<li>Hair color \u2013 don\u2019t bother.\u00a0 It will fade before you get home from the salon.<\/li>\n<li>And frizz\u2026don\u2019t forget the frizz.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why does hard water have this effect? Basically it is due to the high mineral content present.\u00a0 The minerals cause the hair cuticles to \u201cstand up\u201d which gives the hair that rough feel. For the same reason, it becomes nearly impossible to rinse hair thoroughly. Plus, since shampoo cannot break down properly in hard water, it is difficult to wash out styling products, resulting in product build-up. In addition to causing bad hair days, dissolved calcium and magnesium in your hard water causes <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard_water\" target=\"_blank\">scale<\/a>. Scale builds up on the insides of pipes,\u00a0water heaters,\u00a0tea\u00a0pots and coffee makers. Overtime scale build up can completely clog pipes and ruin appliances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fortunately for me and others like me, there is a solution!\u00a0 We just need to filter the water before we use it.\u00a0 The best way to accomplish this is to invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/search\/?query=water+softeners&amp;asug=&amp;view=list&amp;submit1.x=0&amp;submit1.y=0\" target=\"_blank\">water softening system<\/a> for your house.\u00a0\u00a0 These systems replace excessive calcium and magnesium, as well as other mineral content in your water, with sodium ions, which decrease the detrimental effects of hard water. There are other benefits to installing a home water softening system as\u00a0stated on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/131473-what-are-benefits-water-softeners\/\" target=\"_blank\">Livestrong.com<\/a> such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Easier cleaning. Softened water helps rinse off soap residue for cleaner dishes and clothes, as well as your general household cleaning.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Longer lifespan for appliances.\u00a0 Hard water minerals can build up over time in your appliances causing decreased efficiency and usability.\u00a0 According to North Dakota State University, water-softening systems extend the life of washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters and other appliances that use water.<\/li>\n<li>Faster hot water.\u00a0 Softened water heats quicker. Estimates find increased efficiency in water heaters up to 30% when using soft water!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cleaner plumbing system.\u00a0 The mineral and metal build up caused by hard water can lead to clogs and corrosion in your pipes and your faucet fixtures.\u00a0 Softened water can eliminate this issue, saving you money on costly repairs and replacements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of water softeners available.\u00a0 Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/filter.filtersfast.com\/search?p=KK&amp;srid=S1-USCDR01&amp;lbc=filtersfast&amp;ts=custom&amp;pw=Hard%20Water&amp;uid=337395763&amp;isort=score&amp;view=list&amp;w=Water%20Softener&amp;rk=1\" target=\"_blank\">FiltersFast.com<\/a> for all of your water filtration needs and say goodbye to \u201cbad\u201d hair for good!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve got unruly hair\u2026 always have.
