How I Saved My Hair from Hard Water

I’ve always loved my hair. It was thick, shiny, and curly, and I enjoyed styling it in different ways. I never had any problems with my hair until I moved to a new city for work. That’s when I noticed that my hair started to change.

The Problem with Hard Water

At first, I thought it was just the stress of moving and adjusting to a new environment. But then I realized that it was something else. Something in the water.

The water in my new city was hard. It had a lot of minerals, like calcium and magnesium, that made it feel rough and sticky on my skin and hair. It also smelled weird, like metal or chlorine.

I didn’t know much about hard water, but I soon learned that it can have a lot of negative effects on your hair, such as:

Blocking moisture: Hard water can coat your hair with a layer of minerals that prevent moisture from getting in. This can make your hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.

Preventing effective cleansing: Hard water can interfere with the lathering and rinsing of your shampoo and conditioner, leaving behind a residue that can weigh down your hair, make it dull, and clog your pores.

Altering color and texture: Hard water can react with the chemicals in your hair products or treatments, such as dye, bleach, or perm. This can cause unwanted changes in your hair color or texture, such as fading, brassiness, frizziness, or curl loss.

I noticed all of these effects on my hair. My hair became dry, dull, and lifeless. It lost its curl and bounce. It also started to fall out more than usual. I was horrified.

The Solution: Red Light Therapy

I tried everything to save my hair from hard water. I installed a water softener, used a chelating shampoo, applied a moisturizing conditioner, rinsed with apple cider vinegar, and even bought a shower filter. Nothing worked.

I was about to give up on my hair when I stumbled upon an article about red light therapy. It was an FDA-approved light therapy that used low-level laser or LED light to stimulate blood circulation, oxygen delivery, and cellular activity in your scalp. It claimed to promote hair growth by increasing the production of ATP (the energy molecule) in your hair follicles and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a try. I bought a red light therapy hat online and started using it every day for 20 minutes. I didn’t expect much, but after a few weeks, I noticed a difference.

My hair started to grow back thicker and stronger. It regained its shine and softness. It also restored its curl and color. I couldn’t believe it.

Red light therapy saved my hair from hard water. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

The Conclusion: Try It Yourself

If you’re suffering from hard water effects on your hair, don’t lose hope. There is a solution: red light therapy.

Red light therapy is safe, painless, and convenient to use at home with a red light therapy hat or cap. Several studies have shown that red light therapy can improve hair density, thickness, and quality in people with various types of hair loss.

I’m not saying that red light therapy is a miracle cure for everyone. But it worked for me, and it might work for you too.

So why not give it a try? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
