When you are taking a shower and washing your hair, you want to feel good about it becoming clean. The problem is that with the water and the products that you are using you could be having trouble getting the outcome that you want. One of the biggest problems that you are going to be dealing with is the type of water that you are using. You might think that there is really only one kind of water but there are treatments that you can do to better the water. The treatments can include a water softener or a whole home water filtration system. Each of these systems are great for the water that is used throughout the entire house. Not just the water that you are using to drink out of a specific faucet but any area of the house that has a water spout. When you have hard water it could be affecting your hair and skin.
AAA Water Team Outlines the Effects of Hard Water on Skin & Hair
Hard Water Is Difficult To Clean With: If you do not have your home outfitted with a water softener then you have hard water that is coming in from the city or county where you live. That means there is quite a bit of sediment that is built up in the water and it will leave residual markings on your showers, sinks, clothes and your skin and your hair. One way you can tell that the water is hard water is that the soap you are using such as shampoo or body wash will not create the lather that you want. The lather is what is needed to get your body and your hair clean. That is why you want to avoid hard water and use soft water at all costs.
Hard Water Causes Skin to Be Itchy: One of the most common complaints that people have that use hard water is that they have skin irritation. Specifically they will be concerned about over dried out skin that will require a lot of moisturizes to refresh. Another problem that will and can occur is that it will trigger outbreaks from people that have eczema or psoriasis. These are skin disorders that can create itching and flaking skin that may require the attention of a medical professional. Your skin will feel more moisturized and less dried out when you have a water softener in your home. The soft water will remove the sediment that is causing all these skin conditions.
Hard Water Hair Damage: When you use hard water the excess sediment that is in the water will continue to not only build up in your shower but in your hair as well. Your hair will be damaged as it starts to dry out. The hair is more likely to become brittle and break off when you are using hard water. The best option is to use soft water in your home to help protect your hair.
