How to Maintain the Health of Your Hair?
Depending on where you moved from, you may notice that your hair has become dry, dull, discolored, or more easily tangled. This can be caused by a combination of environmental stresses, including sun exposure, salt water, chlorine…, and even the whipping around of your hair if you often drive with the windows down. Another major factor is that the water in your home likely contains a host of heavy minerals. By definition, the mineral-rich water most of us have in this area is labeled "hard."
While drinking hard water, which contains high concentrations of calcium and magnesium, helps to create strong bones, it can cause scale to build up in pipes, valves, and appliances—especially those that change the water's temperature.
If hard water scale quickly damages household fixtures, imagine the havoc it wreaks on our delicate hair!
Using a clarifying shampoo once a week is your best bet for stiff, water-affected hair. These specially formulated shampoos, sometimes called "swimmer's shampoos," contain ingredients that will bond to and remove chemical and mineral deposits. Be careful, though—even the best-clarifying shampoos can be drying, so they are not recommended for daily use. Ensure you use a deep conditioner afterward to infuse moisture into your hair.
Another alternative is to use a weekly apple cider vinegar rinse.
It's easy and inexpensive to make at home. Add four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for every cup of water you need to saturate your hair and scalp. After thoroughly using your regular shampoo and rinsing, tip your head back and slowly pour the mixture over your scalp and hair. Massage the mixture into your scalp, then allow it to sit for five minutes.
Rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle, then use a lightweight conditioner to finish the process.
