Hard Water and Your Scalp: Mineral Buildup, Dull Hair, and Solutions
Hard water can leave a “film” feeling—hair looks dull, roots feel heavy, and products don’t rinse clean.
Signs
- Hair feels coated
- Shampoo doesn’t lather well
- Roots get heavy fast
What to do
- Rinse longer
- Consider a shower filter
- Use occasional gentle reset cleansing (not harsh daily)
Professional scalp cleansing can help remove residue buildup.
