The Damaging Effects of Hard Water and Pool Water on Your Hair


Have you ever thought about how hard water or pool chemicals effect the health of your hair? Well, I'm going to give you the 411 AND give you a quick and easy solution to make your hair brighter and healthier for the summer!


Hard Water 🚿

The biggest problem facing those with hard water is the buildup it can leave behind on both our hair and our scalps. The buildup of excess minerals can not only weigh your hair down, making it look flat and lifeless, but can also make your strands feel drier and more brittle, which we all know can only lead to one thing: damage (and yes, frizz). Hard water is also notorious for interfering with hair color, causing it to become dull, faded, and in some cases, even discolored, while long-term exposure may also cause it to become less manageable (also never a good thing).


Pool Water & Minerals 🏖

Did you know, over 85% of the United States is shampooing with hard water, which is packed with minerals and harsh chemicals that wreck major havoc on their hair and scalp. Hard water is the worst offender, but even well water, soft water, city water, whatever water, has minerals that will affect your hair color and texture! Not to mention pool water minerals are “positively charged” and attracted to hair strands, which have an innate negative charge. Also, when you bathe or shower in warm water your hair’s outer cuticle layer opens. Trace minerals can lodge in the openings.

But don't worry, cause you know I've got you covered! I'm going to show you how you can PREVENT summer damage before it even happens. You will need a couple products in your arsenal and I'm going give you the low down on what they do and how to use them!
