What is the best thing to remove hard water build up from my hair?

Answer by  dr84bhl (2789)

You must rinse hair thoroughly using a shower head. Do not use bath water as you are putting dirty water back into your hair. Use a separate conditioner occasionally, not a 2 in 1 conditioner all the time, as the build up in your hair increases making it lank and dull.

Hair that has hard water buildup can be extremely hard to style. If you are suffering from this problem, symptoms may include a greasy, waxy or heavy feel to your hair. The best thing to do is use a clarifying shampoo. Always wash your hair in cold water as this will aid in preventing future mineral deposits.

No hot oil! No 2-n-1's!! No bathwater!! Wash hair with CLARIFYING shampoo, rinse with lukewarm to cool water and repeat. Skip conditioner. If long hair, use lightweight spray leave-in. Purchase salon quality clarifying shampoo, especially if swimming in chlorine. Use weekly or whenever necessary.

Try using a hot oil conditioning treatment. This can be done by using any conditioner you prefer. shampoo and rinse hair first. Then, put an ample amount of conditioner onto wet hair. Cover with a plastic cap. Sit under a hair dryer for about thirty minutes. Remove plastic cap and rinse. style to your preference.

The next time you shampoo you hair, try mixing in a teaspoon of baking soda to your usual amount shampoo. After you lather up your shampoo, let the suds sit on your hair for at least 2 minutes. Also, use a teaspoon of vinegar in water for your final rinse. You can use this treatment every other shampoo.

You can buy shampoos specifically designed to remove hard water from your hair, but there are natural methods that some consider equally effective. Adding one teaspoon of baking soda to your shampoo once a week may be a solution. You can also create a mixture of vinegar and water and drench your hair in this solution.
