Caption: Hard water: Four ways it could be affecting your hair health. Duncan Reid, Senior Pharmacist and Head of Patient Safety at Pharmacy2U explains how hard water can damage your hair and what you can do about it. Dulling and drying The minerals in hard water can leave a residue on your hair, making it feel dry, rough, and more prone to breakage. ”Over time, this buildup can dull your hair, causing it to look lifeless and lacklustre.” Stripping natural oils Washing your hair with hard water can also strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. ”This effect is especially noticeable in people with curly or textured hair, which can become more unruly and harder to manage over time.” Increased scalp irritation The alkaline nature of hard water can disrupt the natural pH of your scalp. “This can lead to irritation, itchiness, and conditions like dandruff.” Difficulty in rinsing products Hard water can also be less effective when it comes to rinsing products out of your hair "Hard water can often make it more difficult to properly rinse out hair products, as minerals interact with the ingredients, leaving hair feeling weighed down or coated.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
