I just recently moved into a new duplex. I noticed right away that the water felt like that of a hotel at the beach... slimy. My hair never feels like the conditioner is coming out and the soap doesn't feel like it's coming off of my body. Additionally my hair feels extra brittle and tangly, and when I put in my normally hair products that are meant to make my hair soft and smooth... my hair dries looking and feeling like I put gel in it. My stylist even noticed that my hair was very brittle. I have gone back to my natural blonde recently for the summer and I was feeling really brassy so I went and paid good money for more highlights and a toner to get rid of the gold tones. I went home with a lovely pale beige blonde. One wash later and I have brass again in my hair!! It looks horrible. Money down the drain, literally. Now, I'm worried because I color my hair a lot and I do not know what the deal is with my water.
From my understanding, it is soft water and the reason it feels so gross is because it doesn't have the minerals and chemicals that would typically react to soap/shampoo/etc. in the way that hard water does. So I don't understand.. if it is soft and without these minerals.. why is it adding brass to my hair and also making my hair feel so awful?? It seems to be doing what people say hard water does and yet it still feels disgusting like softened water. I don't know what to do. I've always had really healthy soft hair and apparently never had a water softener. Can anybody help me make sense of this or do you know what my options are? I've never had to deal with something like this before and my online searches have not explained this.![]()
