How hard does your water go for you? Is it really cleaning your clothes, and your hair or can you feel it on your skin, leaving behind a film of God knows what ?
Being a hairstylist I come across my fair share of build up that can range from a variety of sources, yet in ALL of my colored hair clients this tends to be a tarnishing problem. Admittedly I am no expert in all things H2O, but of course I did some digging around to find out exactly WHAT hard water is and why we should care to eliminate it out of our routine.
To keep things simple within my household we added filters to things we used water the most from, and aside from filtered drinking water, where I most appreciate it, is in my SHOWER ! Take a journey with me;
after a long day at the salon, whipping that round brush and making the world a better blowout, by the end of it all I can no longer prop myself up. I get home, I crawl into the shower and I twist the setting of the shower head to the high speed massager. I turn around and begin to wash the day away and work out every kink that made it's way into my soul. After a few moments to my self I continue to work my way through some self care rituals. My time is almost coming to an end yet right before it is all over I twist the settings to my favorite place to be....the inviting mist felt under a waterfall.
Suddenly all the scents of my product swirl around me and I even dare to set it cooler to really put me in the mood.
Time slips away but when I am done, I step out of the shower and I feel clean, refreshed and energized. You can call it a placebo but I 100% put my bets on my Dual head filtrated shower system to make me feel better time and time again. My hair looks shinier, the color looks its best, my skin feels supple and I am just in heaven with it all.
But don't just take my word for it; I shared the 5 REAL-LIFE PROBLEMS HARD WATER CAUSES on my Instagram Highlights and it created quite the buzz so I decided to share it on here as one of my first blog post to you.
Scroll down below to see top #3 reasons of how hard water could be making its way into your life, and worse your HAIR !
1.Water Tastes And/Or Smells Weird Or “Off”
This offset could be affecting how your products function upon contact with your skin and hair. It can wear down your hygiene way faster through out the day, because there is a barrier of bacteria living on you.
Not to mention, the activity it can be causing in your gut..... Just saying !
2.Brown Or Reddish Stains In Sinks, Showers And Bathtubs
ohh yeah, imagine all that red and brown staining your precious blonde tone that we just created at the salon. All that time and money invested, to end up looking...dare I say BRASSY, in less than a few weeks. OH THE HORROR ! It's already a pain in the ass that your tub gets gunky and that awful ring around the toilet happens, but its just worse that you wear it around for others to see !
3. Household Members Suffer From Skin Irritation Issues
I can't speak on this one because no one in my household has suffered, but that doesn't excuse that it can't happen to those skin types that are sensitive. Many sources can cause a flare up in ezcema for example, why not ellimanate a cause by replacing your filtration?
I can admit at least that rinsing off facial cleansers, applying lotions, and going about my day makes me feel just that much better.
