Not everyone is aware that the type of water they wash their hair in will have an impact on its appearance and texture. Hair washed in soft water/harvested water may look and feel vastly different than if you wash your hair in hard water.

Hard water is a problem that persists in many cities across the globe and deeply effects the lifestyle of millions of individuals. It is characterized by excessively large amounts of magnesium and calcium deposits apart from other harmful mineral deposits.

After many washes, minerals dissolved in your water create a scaly film on the hair making your hair dry and overly frizzy. The mineral buildup in your hair can also cause colour treated hair to fade quickly. Hard water usage on your hair can also suck of the moisture and natural oils secreted by your scalp, making your scalp go dry & flaky causing a dandruff like situation. The presence of deposits in the water and rough hair prevents developing a good lather when you shampoo your hair and proves ineffective in rinsing your hair thoroughly. Over time, the deposits act on your hair follicles, weakening your hair follicles causing hair loss.

Positively charged metal ions bind to the hair and scalp creating harmful deposits. Such deposits can be created through the frequent use of conditioning or styling products like conditioners, wax, gels, hair sprays etc and can alter the structure of the hair fiber.
