Hard water can be a silent enemy to your hair care routine. It’s rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which, while beneficial in small amounts, can wreak havoc on your hair with prolonged exposure. Continuous use of hard water can strip your hair of its natural moisture, leaving it greasy, frizzy, and lifeless. The minerals build up on your hair and scalp, leading to dryness and dullness. For those who want to keep their hair moisturised and vibrant, there are effective strategies to combat the adverse effects of hard water. Here are some tips and tricks to transform your hair from frizzy and dry to soft and hydrated.
Tips to Maintain Moisturised Hair in Hard Water Areas
- Use a Gentle Cleansing Treatment
Using decalcifying & repairing products can help remove the buildup of minerals on your hair. Opt for a gentle formula that cleanses without stripping your hair of its natural oils. Kerastase’s Pre Shampoo & Shampoo are excellent cleansing choices as they deeply cleanses and restore your hair’s natural shine and softness, making it ideal for over-processed or damaged hair.
- Install a Water Softener
Consider installing a water softener or a shower filter to reduce the mineral content of your water. This can significantly lessen the damage caused by hard water and help maintain the moisture in your hair.
- Rinse with Filtered Water
After washing your hair, do a final rinse with filtered or distilled water. This helps remove any remaining mineral deposits from your hair and scalp, leaving your hair feeling softer and more manageable.
- Deep Condition Regularly
Incorporate deep conditioning treatments into your hair care routine to replenish lost moisture. Kérastase’s Première Masque Filler Réparateur Hair Mask is a rich, reparative treatment that rebuilds the inner strength of over-processed hair and protects against further breakage.
- Avoid Excessive Heat Styling
Heat styling can exacerbate the dryness caused by hard water. Try to minimise the use of hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons. When you do use them, apply a heat protectant to shield your hair from further damage.
- Use Leave-In Treatments
Leave-in treatments can provide an extra layer of protection and hydration. Kérastase’s Première Sérum Filler Fondamental is a lightweight leave-in treatment that repairs damaged hair from the inside out, leaving it glossy and supple & protects against heat-damage!
- Moisturising Hair Oils
Incorporate moisturising hair oils like argan oil or coconut oil into your routine. These oils can help lock in moisture and protect your hair from the harsh effects of hard water.
