"I've been washing, conditioning, and deep conditioning for a while now, but my hair hasn't changed a bit! What's up?"Hard water might be to blame. Hard water has a high mineral and chlorine content. Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates. According to the United States Geological Survey, 89.3% of US homes have hard water. Craziness! Having hard water can leave your hair dull, lifeless, and dry. The best way to tell if you have hard water is to simply look at your faucet. Lime residue -- the icky clear stuff -- is the primary sign of hard water.
Treating Hard Water
A water softener could be one way to solve your hard water issue. Why? Water softeners effectively reduce the concentration of hardness minerals to tolerable levels, thus making the water softer and "smoother."
You could also invest in a water filter. Water filters reduce the amount of mineral and chlorine deposits down to about 54-95% (although some companies will claim to reduce it to 99%). A popular water filter you can use is the iWater System.
Conclusion
If you want healthier hair, I suggest you invest in a water softener or filter. You (and your hair) won't regret it! Softer water also means longer color for those who color their hair. If you don't want to buy a softener or filter, you can always wash your hair with a chelating shampoo...

I have a water softener throughout my whole house and there is a HUGE difference in how your hair/skin feels and looks. I will never go back. Its very easy to maintain too.

I have tried it and love it! It didn't feel sticky to me. I put the Pantene Relaxed and Natural conditioner in as a leave-in, Greg Juice, and Sweet Oil 3 I'm addicted to it! The only problem I have with the Greg Juice is that it took forever to come! I just received it from ordering on 4/15! But other than that I love it

I use hard water and my hair is healthy. I just think it depends on your hair and how damaged it is.

I just bought joico chelating shampoo and I noticed my hair looked much better after my wash and condtion. All that conditioning I was doing before did nothing for my hair until I removed the mineral buildup. I will always have this in my stash to use when needed.

At the same time, another Bentley GT industry was developing at a fast pace, that of the brand imitations like Bentley Motors . Starting as a black market of poor sloppy imitations, the watch replica industry has grown so much that Bentley Motors T is now tolerated or even embraced by some brand manufacturers. Nowadays, cheap Navitimer Watches are only cheap in relation to the original product.
