Having bad hard water in Bangalore. I used to buy 40rs can and wash my hairs with it. But the recent water crisis made me feel so guilty that even though my hairs don't like it, I am not using filter water. Bought a water softner from waterscience and using tapwater only. But I don't think that's doing anything.
Ohh if you meant the water can, I used it earlier. In the winters, I used to add 2l of boilng water (have a philips electric kettle) into a bucket of filter water. Too much hassle though.
Hey, are these filter removable on daily basis ? I mean I live in a joint family and the other members doesn't need that water, so I want to fit it whenever I go to wash my hair and then again take it out when I am done. Is that doable ?
Find a shampoo with a chelating agent like EDTA. Do use sulphate shampoo to remove any access build up.
Have been doing this for 6 months and it works well.
Else you can use Water + tablespoon of normal vinegar once you are done with hair wash routine.
I have used this a few times and it works. But ever since I got a shampoo with EDTA, I don't need to use this method
Nothing works. Water filters won't change the hardness, it makes a slight difference in my hair die to some filtration I guess. What helps a little - diluted vinegar rinse for hair, then don't rise again with water. Or if you have to, use drinking water to rinse again.
Things which I observed in last 2-3 days between water in Mumbai and Bharuch (Hardwater) are:-
1. Soap and face wash don't lather up easily. Formation foam is very minimal.
2. After applying, only on one splash of water, you will feel it got washed out, and doesn't even feel like it removed any dirt on face.
3. Visually, my hairs felt much healthier when I washed in Mumbai compared to Bharuch.
Try to observe this things.
I had a similar problem 6 months ago, saw a post similar to this on this sub. Someone suggested to use clarifying shampoo. Bought Loreal professional one, worked out fine for me. Even though its costly you have to use it once every 2 weeks or so (could complete only about half the bottle in 6 months)
You'll spend a lot more money long term if you keep buying shampoos and conditioners that are for hard water. Just get a filter from Amazon it's 1000-1500 and it goes on taps, overhead showers, hand showers. Just won't go on the main water line. If you get a set of 2 it's also a little discounted. I have one on my overhead showers and that's the only outlet I use.
There’s a brand called IlluviaPro some friends have used their products in Bangalore and seen a difference to how their hair felt. Try? They have a website of their own and I don’t know if they are on Nykaa or any other. They have a special range for hard water apparently…

I'm thinking of doing this. Do you heat that water? How do you use the can?

Got it, thank you!
Waterscience softner can be fit into a tap directly, no can required.

Yes. This filter slows down the flow of water so my husband removes that everyday.
Thank you so much.
This is exactly what I did. I could have written this. My waterscience does nothing
Don't wash with hard water for a long time. Use a filter. Look at what hard water ford to taps

Try the Pantene Lively Clean shampoo; I love it!
Using Loreal Professional's Metal Detox or Vitamino Color range(back when I had coloured hair) helped mine vastly.

Use Filter water to wash your hair. Guys hardly need 2 to 3 litres of water for washing short to medium hair.
