Do you use hair products adapted to your hair type? Do you limit the use of heated styling tools? And yet your hair is rough and dull? What if it came from the composition of the water you use?
In this article, discover how excessively hard water can alter the health of your hair fiber, and most importantly, how to effectively remedy it.
What is hard water and what are its effects on hair ?
Hard water is water with high mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium salts.
Hard water has harmful effects on your skin and hair:
Dry and dull hair
First, it tends to make hair dry and dull. The hair becomes rougher and more difficult to style. Moreover, the mineral residues present in this water accumulate on the surface of the hair fiber and form a film that blocks natural hydration.
Scalp irritation
The scalp is also sensitive to hard water. The residues present in the water can accumulate on the scalp and clog pores, causing irritation, itching, and dandruff.
Alteration of hair coloring
Hard water prevents pigments from adhering properly, which affects the hold of hair coloring.
What good practices should be adopted to limit the impact?
Hard water leaves a residue on hair and scalp, which prevents hair products from effectively penetrating the fiber, making them less effective. It is therefore essential to choose products that counter the effects of limescale.
Cair offers a particularly suitable hair routine in this case.
First, the Cair strengthening serum detoxifies and exfoliates the scalp through the action of lactic acid in synergy with phytic acid, which has the ability to cause limescale beads in water to slide off. It thus removes residues that clog pores. Moreover, it respects the microbiome and maintains a healthy and lasting bacterial balance.
Next, the Cair hydrating shampoo effectively eliminates suffocating residues present on the hair fiber.
Enriched with natural phytic acid derived from organic rice, this treatment gently clarifies the hair to effectively remove stubborn metals, excessive minerals, and unwanted deposits. It also controls green and brassy tones.
Additionally, it is formulated without silicones and sulfates, components often found in traditional shampoos and which leave suffocating residues on hair.
This natural shampoo is also a true hydration bomb thanks to its composition based on rice water and hyaluronic acid.
The hair fiber is thus clarified, hydrated, and shiny.
Finally, to preserve the health and beauty of your hair, it is essential to protect it from external aggressions, which are responsible for many damages.
The Cair protective hair oil shields hair from UV rays, pollution, and dryness. Moreover, it nourishes the hair fiber for shiny and disciplined hair.
