It's insane how much hard water can impact the health, look and feel of the hair. I was one google search away from cutting my hair off.
Me too!
Well, you are lucky. I cut mines all off I am bald now. I got tired of the tangling.
I actually chopped all my hair off bc of this. Growing it back out just to find it’s the water not my hair. It’s so short and horrible. Dry brittle breaking not growing makes me want to shave it again but hopefully now I can try some of these. Thank you
My hair is crazy greasy bc. Of hard water and been suffering with a lot of dandruff. 😫😫😭
I always wondered why my hair got tangled and greasy so fast. I figured it's just my age (I turned 30) and was like fuck, it's time for a big chop.
I didn't even realize it's because we moved apartments a couple years ago and that it could be the water.
You jumped straight into the point which is a rarity in UA-cam nowadays, I must thank you for that
Bullshit! She talked about prevention at the very end.
I’m a BIG victim of hard water. I used to have a really shiny, healthy, long, pretty and thick hair that everyone’d ask for my haircare routine. Then we moved on another city and without realizing, water ruined my hair and skin... I lost too much hair and now I have fine, unhealthy, frizzy hair. And if we collect water in a bottle, after a few hours we can see the dirts accumulate at the bottom. I used shower filter too but can’t say it made a huge difference. My hair type also changed, now it’s wavy-curly and I started to use Curly Girl Method. But I see it’s not enough, I’ll try to rinse my hair with apple vinegar+filtered water from now on. Edit: I also find a recommended chelating shampoo in my country, I’m gonna buy it as soon as possible!
Same here.... Used to have straight hair and now ugly frizzy curly hair
Unicorn bükücü plZ can u give m name of shampoo I have same problem
@@alfariel215 curly hair isn’t ugly
@@Mai-sx3yf It is if its due to damage. Dont be butthurt.
Give an update , did u recover dear
I had super soft and long hair and when I moved to where I live now my hair went into a total freak out and adjusted and had NOT been able to grow or stay soft and shiny and it’s been driving me crazzzzzy. I just bought a water filter.
Taniska Singh yup yup also comes with aging and all that goodness 🤷🏼♀️ filter is seeming to help but only a little
@@SLA11xo what filter did you buys?
@@SLA11xo ive tried multiple filter. after doing research I found out that pretty much all shower filter are a bunch of bogus...
tom payson so you not using a shower filter? What you using instead tho 😒
@@sonushekhawat3771 I started rinsing with distilled water. also increase ur healthy fat intake to keep ur sebum oil in check and producing healthy sebum not to thick not to thin and wash less. idk that's all I can say its sucks
I use filtered water from my fridge and I have a filter on my kitchen faucet. I fill up a bucket and use ONLY that when I wash and rinse. It works!
That's what I do as well! Works perfectly!
Yes, I switched to washing and rinsing in distilled water.Well water was leaving yellow orange in my hair .
Distilled is best and most pure, even purified doesn’t get rid of all the fluoride and other chemicals
@@FadedMentalitywhere to uh buy distilled water
@@nidhishah9 not for drinking just for showers and brushing teeth, we get distilled water here in America at Walmart
I cant possibly compliment you enough for how great you are at delivering this content succinctly and clearly!!! You nail it every time
Wow, thank you!
I've moved to the new place and I am shocked how much hair loss I am having because of hard water also my hair gets such a weird color. It has started with itchy scalp .. I ordered some Nioxin kit and it has all the ingredients which I saw in your video. Hopefully, it will help ....
I am experiencing the same since moving to a place with hard water! My hairs never fallen out like this. And yeah, itchy scalp! Did you find something that worked?
@@erin147 did it work?
please remember that with nioxin or anything with minoxidil, you have to use it forever once you start or else all the hair growth you had will fall out...
@@yallheartheteaisboiling9989 please remember that with nioxin or anything with minoxidil, you have to use it forever once you start or else all the hair growth you had will fall out...that is why a lot of stylists dont like clients to use the stuff unless REALLY necessary. its best to try other avenues like oils and supplements first
Hard water has had such a bad affect on my hair. It's caused thinning on my scalp where-as the rest of my hair is really thick. I only started to thin when I started living in an area that has hard water.
I had the hair thinning thing too. Just mix your shampoo with equal parts vinegar and water. It works.
And how is your hair now on the scalp?
how is your hair doing now?
No wonder my hair breaks 🥴🙄
You: "the top cities with the hardest water"
Me: hoping you don't call out my city
You: "Phoenix, AZ"
Me: 😥🙁
😭
after I moved to the coast in Spain,, the hard water here has completely destroyed my hair. I lost half my length from it breaking off, my scalp is always itchy and it's thinner than ever before. My hair is now frizz not curly. i''ll check out your amazon and hope one day I can have my normal hair back hahaha (crying inside)
I relate to that crying inside lol. I lived somewhere with a water softener and then moved to hard water and had the same issue. It was a mess. Took me so long to regain the balance and stop the breakage!
I really like the detail you provide. This is a topic I knew nothing about, until now. Thanks! A few questions: How often do you generally use a hard water shampoo? Once a month?...week? Every time you wash? Also, are chelating shampoos also clarifying shampoos too -- kind of a two-for-one?
Chelating shampoos are also clarifying so you don’t need two shampoos!
How often will be dependent on how often you wash, and how are your water is. When I was in Las Vegas I was washing every 4-7 days and used a chelating shampoo about once a month or every 4-7 washes. Now the water isn’t as hard and I’m seeing that I can go about 2 months before it’s needed.
Start with once a month and go up/down from there depending on how your hair responds. Eventually you’ll know exactly when it’s needed!
@@JannelleOShaughnessy how to rinse hair with club soda or soda water?
How to wash hair with apple cider vinegar?
I'm stuck at college at the moment and even though I expressed to my school that I'm also dealing with skin issues using the hard water, there is not much I can do. I really like how informative this video was and it gave me a little relief because when I come home I use bentonite clay to detox my hair.
I watched a lot of videos with so much fake content from big UA-cam channels and here I am with some genuine information. Thankyou
Dang, I live in Vegas and I've always been so insecure about my dry scalp, I had no idea
I didn't know for the longest time either. it was a game changer once I figured it out, hope the same for you!
Happy first #fiveminutefridays !! I would love to know what you all think of this possible new series?! Do you love it, hate it, have ideas for it?! Please comment them here!!!
ALSO, let me know if you have any follow up questions on HARD WATER & I'll include them in the demo video!
Love it!!!!! Does it matter how far up in the ingredient list those ingredients you mentioned are? For the tip on using club soda, are you using the club soda to rinse the shampoo or after you rinse the shampoo and before conditioner?
I think it's great! Clear, concise information... But personally I prefer slightly longer videos so you can fit even MORE info in! 🤓 Then again, I love learning more about my curls so I'll watch just about any length video 😅 keep up the great work! 🥰
I love it! You give a lot of info in a short amount of time. I don’t always have 20 or more minutes to spend watching. But now I have the things I need to research when I do have time. Excellent idea!!! Love all of your videos because you make me laugh.
Possibly a video about face products and getting them on your hair, any concerns about that
So helpful! Especially the list of ingredients.
I've been going through all types of high quality products trying to crack the code to my hair being so dry, matted, & brittle since I moved. All this time I thought it was just the lack of humidity here (LA) but this damn water has been tearing me up!! Ugh. I'm so mad. SO many wasted hours and money trying to detangle this hair & keep it from drying out. Looked up the water hardness level in my area & the water Co. literally said it's "very hard". Did the water bottle test and ZERO suds. I mean NO bubbles whatsoever - which also explains why I have to DOUSE myself in soap to get any kind of suds whenever I shower or wash my face! All this time since I'm not using well water I thought I was good. Fail. So angry rant completed - thank you for this. I'm running to the store now and can't wait to get my hair back to how manageable it once was.
If it’s that bad it might be worth it to invest in one of those shower head adapters to soften the water a bit!!! My water was like that when I lived in vegas and it was always a work around! Good luck! ❤️
Just mix your shampoo with equal parts vinegar and water. Store in a glass jar. It works.
ive seriously been buying so many products for my hair. my waves are so limp, my hair turns copper when it’s usually a darkish brown, i get buildup in my scalp very quickly no matter how often i cleanse… i’ve been wasting so much money on shampoos and conditioners when i needed a filter 😭
Twin cities here! I totally agree I looked up my city’s hard water level and we have very hard water. I get Chelating shampoo from Sally Beauty. .
Does it work?
I went to Las Vegas for vacation in March and our "Stay Well" hotel room had a weird filter on the shower head. But after one use, OMG my hair felt amazing! It felt super super light even when wet which is unusual for me, and my hair/curls dried perfectly without me needing to fix anything! Usually I have to adjust my bangs with a straightener and fix random pieces that didn't curl for some reason, but I just let it air dry and it was perfect! Now I'm debating on buying one for my house because I loved how light my hair felt after.
Do you know what the name of the filter is?
Omg....here I thought the reddish copper look to the crown on my head was just signs of stress!!!!! Holy cow
Sameee that is insane!
The water literally runs brown where I live.It lierally smells like rusty metal!!!!
thats horrible :(
same! My hair went orange and was falling out - now its a mess but im waiting anf waiting and it wont grow, I want to find out whats happening
I live in London, hard water. In Sweden my hair turned to full on waves so now I actually keep a rainwater spray for London and now my hair is super wavy and shiny again. Great video thanks!
Thanks for the tips.
Hard water is not enough mentioned when it comes to lacklustre hair, breakage and hair loss. Thanks for pointing that out.
Should the club soda be used hot (rather than cold) and in the last rinse?
Bob the builder... 😂
I live in Vegas. Yes, our water is the worst! Lol We currently have a water softer in our home, but I still feel like my hair is dryer and my scalp. I’ll have to try that shampoo! Thanks girl! Keep these videos coming! 💖
Man same changed my life
Thanks so much for all the suggested products! It might sound strange but I was relieved that it was the hard water and not my thyroid or hormones messing up my hair. I’m still very angry that they would allow this crap in our water without warning but I’m grateful that it’s something I can fix. Thanks again for sharing this info!!
Just mix your shampoo with equal parts vinegar and water. It works.
Thank you for your advice! I used apple cider vinegar to soak the length of my hair for about five minutes (while using sugar scrub on my scalp) then normal wash day. I couldn't believe that my normal amount of hair products was way too much. I had to repeatedly rinse my denman brush off.
Again thank you!
How do you do a sugar scrub? .. My scalps so bad that the antibiotics and ointment my dermatologist prescribes isn't even helping anymore .. Just making me sick now!
Thanks Jannelle! I definitely have medium hard water! I'll have to look at the ingredients in my shampoo to see if it has chealating ingredients! Thanks for the info!
Oh....my goodness!!! I am so happy I stumbled across your video! So I do have a shower head with filter and will try the distilled water rinse and going to the store NOW!
I had great hair
Was so proud of them that I did nothing for them
For me hair was always an advantage but since last year hard water has been damaging hair and now they are thin and dead volume
Currently not using that water and getting water from somewhere else .I hope I get my previous hair back
You’ve just rocked my world ❤️
Why?
Do an ACV rinse. Works wonders.
how?
I'm literally................... I live IN Las Vegas right now, and I had to live with my dad for a year, and I had no idea he didnt have a water softener, OR that his hard water was fucking destroying my hair. Jesus Christ. The copper tone??????? HOW DID YOU KNOW ive been going INSANE trying to maintain blonde TO NO AVAIL???? I dyed it for the first time ever right after I moved in with him and like.................. I hate my life lmao . Literally fucking destroyed my skin and hair and face FOR A YEAR and I only figured it out last week. Holy fucking shit.
Girl I am in VEgas too. MY hair grew in the South more than here.
Sayin JC doesn’t make your comment better
I've been watching for awhile now and I'm kind of overwhelmed of where to start on my newest curly journey. I used to love my curls. I did co-washing for awhile while I was transitioning to washing my hair less and am now down to shampooing once a week. I cut out most heat styling, towels (I use an old cotton t-shirt now), sulfates, parabens, and silicones at that time (probably about 6 years ago). My issue is it doesn't seem to matter what I do, my hair ends up frizzy and the curls go wonky after it dries. I learned, from you 😍, I have low-porosity hair but I can't for the life of me find a moisturizer that actually works. They have lost most of their curl pattern and it causes me to wear my hair up more than down causing breakage. I tried a protein shampoo and that didn't help either. I just don't know where to start and I want my curls back. 😔
Just mix your shampoo with equal parts vinegar and water.
You're way ahead of the curve Gurl! Just now seeing other YT'ers making videos on this. All the info Squished into 5ish minutes! Good job!
I use a swimmers shampoo and it's life changing.
Great. So what are we supposed to do about our skin being ruined by hard water? I wash my hair with bottled water now but my whole body? Such a nightmare.
Guyss what's the solution then? 🥺😭
I knew something was off about my hair, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Only realized it was because of hard water when I saw this TikToker have massive hair loss from the hard water in Korea when they went on vacation.
My hair is transitioning (I am a few months into this process) and my hairdresser said my well water is hard and hurting my curls. It did well at the hair salon and is back to awful here at home after my very first wash. I call it "sad, droopy hair". I have gotten a filter to use and am getting it installed for the shower and will do a final rinse and any wetting w/ distilled water from now on. I also got a chelating shampoo. Will these be enough to help it start to recover? I'm so new to all of this so it's a lot to take in and i feel really overwhelmed a lot of the time.
Is distilled water soft?
@@vickie8329 distilled water doesn’t have minerals, you can test it
When I got my hair cut last year, the barber asked if I went swimming a lot. I hadn’t been swimming for years! 😭 Once she cleaned and cut my hair my hair was COMPLETELY different. It was light and somewhat curly and looks really good, gotta fix my hard water issue.
Awesome video! I've never considered whether I do or do not have hard water... Now I need to do some investigating 🤓
Oh great, I just moved to San Antonio, and I knew something was off with my hair... this totally makes sense! Haha! I’ve been using apple cider vinegar like you recommended in a video prior to this. 🤦🏻♀️
But acv works?
So if you use club soda do you rinse that out after? Does it make your hair sticky at all?
unfortunately i have hard water where i live in europe and ive got insane dandruff. got some great treatment products for that issue but it didnt solve my hard water problem. i absolutely hate my hair how it feels and looks like. seriously it takes all my confidence. i normally have light and volumnious hair and now it looks flat and lifeless and greasy. im so annoyed and i dont know what to do anymore
Where in europe?
Just an FYI, if you do buy a shower head filter, find one that uses KDF-55. Do some research, as this is what removes most minerals and chlorine. However, these shower heads will not remove calcium or magnesium. The only way to do that is a soft water system.
Thanks for the extra info!!
What’s a soft water system?
Since moving into an apt my hair gets dry like straw, dull no shine, acts as if I was just in a pool etc. water is hard here. I hate it.
Soooo....if you use a chelating shampoo and have color treated hair, how long before/after dying should you use the chelating shampoo? When using chelating shampoo do you need a moisturizing treatment after?
I've been living in wisconsin for the last two years and ever since my scalp has been really dry and itchy and no matter what I did it would not get better now I've been testing a shower filter and so far its been getting better
I live in Wisconsin too. You almost have to have a water softener. At least her idea about using distilled water is doable. The hard water makes the soap stick to my hair and skin, and it dries the hell out of them...and flattens my hair. My Gym has soft water, so....some times I'll shower there. Makes a huge difference. I'm going to try distilled water tomorrow.
At first, I didn’t know the cause of my dandruff. Tried every shampoo. Learned that Hard water caused my dandruff here in Ireland. Installed a water softener, and voila, gone in a few days.
What water softener did you buy?
Absolutely, I had dry scalp and face that NO dandruff shampoo or face creams would help. Installed water softner, and 1 shower it was completely gone. These shower heads can help but cannot truly soften water.
Oh my gosh…when you started listing the effects I was like yes, yes, yes….damn I need a filter like NOW!!!
Thank you for this I'm realizing my softner system hasn't been working and my gosh took my water it's a level 15 . My hair has been breaking off feels like straw my scalp and kids scales so dry my face skin itchy it's horrible !!! Gonna take the system apart today and try to fix it
Hard water pisses me off so bad. Still suffering.
Fantastic, informative post Jannelle thank you. I had no idea this was a thing but now I've just checked and found that I live in a very hard water area I'm ordering a chelating shampoo pronto and will hopefully see an improvement in my dry mop. 5 min Fridays is a great idea. Please keep them coming
Thanks for the information. I have well water. My daughter has had scalp issues for year.
My pleasure!!!
You LITERALLY-and I do mean LITERALLY-only spent 40 seconds of this video racing through the 'How to fix it' part. It's probably safe to assume most of us watched to find out how to fix it, but it only seemed to be a side note or afterthought to this video. :(
To anyone who tried the waterbottle test: i just tried it and there are plenty of suds and the water hardness is 18-24 dh where i live. I think it also depends on the shampoo... btw my hair is fucked, so i hope the water is the reason. Tried different diets, blood tests, not "stressing", no colouring, no styling, and it's still dry, brittle and thin as f... and it breaks.. all the time.
I moved to Tampa from NYC and my hair went from waist length to now almost shoulder length. Its been truly depressing but not bad enough to move back to NYC😂 guess ill just be bald😢
The main culprit is the phosphoric acid in soft drinks which leaches vital minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, etc. Second is the wrong versions or absence of minerals in supplements. Third is the demonization of tap water which contains minerals like iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, etc.
Just ask a person with hair loss if they consume (lots of) soft drinks and someone with full head of REAL hair the amount of soft drinks they consume, Google phosphoric acid and (mostly incomplete or inefficient) vitamin mineral supplements, or ask a dietician.
I just realized yesterday this is what has been happening to my hair
I only recently realised that my overly split ends might keep happening because of awful water quality and not shampoos I am using...just came bere to confirm my theory😕
You're pretty screwed if outside of major cities in Canada.
I'm only 25 and it's looking like some of my hair is falling out, could hard water do that?
I don't want to go bald at 25.
I also weigh like 90 pounds at 5''5' so dunno if that'll do it either.
Does anyone know why curls are so common in Irish hair? It's said that curls are for insulation in hot climates.i.e. Africa. I wander if they would insulate in cold
Ugh hard water also fades hair color. I can dye my hair black and within a month it's completely faded out to a brownish reddish with black tones. No bueno 😡
Since moving to Cali, my hair has become so brittle, developed dryness, and overall just looks so damaged due to the hard water we have here. I got a keratin treatment, which was soon shortly destroyed after taking a shower ( I even used a sulfate-free shampoo.) $300 out the window! I did alot of research and discovered that washing your hair with distilled water is better, is that true?
Better than hard water? Yes, all minerals are supposedly removed. However not all minerals are made equal, some are quite nice to have. Spring water would be better than distilled in this case if it’s all the same to you 😄 (cost wise)
I've been living in NC for 4 years and have had horrible problems with hard water. I'm a natural red head and read the chemical reaction between hard water and red hair makes it worse. I have calcium build up on my scalp, so bad it looks like dandruff. I can only go 2 days between washes, as my hair gets ungodly itchy, and actually starts to smell. I've lived in other states and have never had a problem with this.
I live in Tampa! When I first moved here, my scalp freaked out like nothing I’ve experienced in my life. So thankful for your tips! Amazing!
I lived in Florida for 2 years... that water is a MESS lol
I’m in Orlando my hair sucks. I even cut it ALL off bc it was falling out bc of water. Now I’m growing it back out and it’s horrible. I wish you luck.
Good info. Need to get one of those water filters and use bentonite clay
Please do a video with your favorite products of the moment in different categories like shampoo, leave ins, gels etc
I live in santa barbara, and we are known to have the hardest water in the whole country. It's awful!
It truly is! Hopefully this helps!
i have a question , so i have hard water where i live , i wash my hair like any other Girl normally dose , But when its dry , theres like a sticky Part in the middle of my hair , can you tell me why ? , or if Im Probably doing something wrong ?
I'm intrested in the soda method afyer shmpooing. Could you please elaborate a little more?
DARK M00N did you find any solution?
My hair used to feel so good and nice after I took showers at my old house, after I moved my new houses water fucked it up so much
Keep telling ppl my hair doesn’t really have red tint. Color texture & breakage. And my skin is so dry now.
diy, club soda after shampoo before conditioner
apple cider vinegar before shampoo
bentonite clay???
5 minute fridays is great! In your video you mentioned you can't remove sulfate (from hard water) with sulfate (from shampoo) however I checked out your hardwater tab and the BB Sunday shampoo has sulfate in it. Is this BB Sunday shampoo still okay to use? Will this be a less effective product?
chlorine n sulphate deposit build- up hard water (hair loss ) n peel skin
Should I use acv before or after shampoo? I have heard a lot of people say after shampoo.
Does only rinsing with bottled water after washing help or is it better to use it exclusively?
I have been washing my hair only with bottled water but its really a pain to carry it from the store and pour it on my head, so could i just rinse the last shampooing with it? and not be affected by the water used in the first portion of the shower?
Yes using at the last step
That's how i do :-):-):-)
Good thing i only shower my hair once a week! (Any more than that kills my hair and scalp!)
When you said Indianapolis Indiana my heart dropped
I’m trying to figure out if it’s my water or the hair products. I apply leave in products like sprays and creams. All of a sudden my hair dries into a stiff, filmy texture.
It's possible too use too much product as crazy as that sounds... Especially if the products have sulfates or protein/keratin. Mixed with hard water, it can turn into a disaster.
We are lied to. I moved in 93. Water fine for 10yrs. Then suddenly water was horrible. Neighbors said it destroyed 3 washers/dishwashers. Triple amount rinse aid in dw. Our township owned water treatment. They refused to fix equipt. Let it go for 26 yrs. Got so bad everyone was complaining. They sold it. New water co raised rates to fix millions in equipt. So these companies are not filtering of fixing it. Doing bare mineral. They just want profits. We never had this problem in thr 60-1990s.
I believe you.
Same since moving to Queens ny my hair is terrible
Brad Mondo plagiarized your video
dissolve mineral hair loss n peel skin
Is it weird that I'm struggling with naturally soft water? My scalp never feels clean unless I use a chelated shampoo, but then my hair lengths and ends get too stripped. I've tried regular or gentle shampoos for weeks/months, but my roots are stil limp even after my hair dries on wash day. My scalp is also often itchy and irritated (pinkish or redish). I used to get 3A spirals without even trying, but now it's really hard to get definition. I've also been losing a lot of hair to the point that my hair part is wider and the hair right beside the part is thinner (I can see more of my scalp than I used to).
You might have psioriasis or a dermaritis... Rub a really tiny bit of oil (jojoba or olive - coconut oil is too heavy to be absorbed by the skin), massage you scalp abd let it sit for a bit then rinse with lukewarm water with low sulfate shampoo or a gliceryn soap...and be really gentle
@@Gabiviolino thank you :)
@@MsJedi10 I hope it works for you too! 😊
I live In Tampa... this water is the devil
Same :/
Orlando here! Never seen such gross water like ours it's disgusting
girls, (and guys of course), you can also use chlorella. It has chelating properties and it is very good for your body and hair ! thank you Jannelle for this video
1:20 my poor poor afro curls. Ughhhhh. So mad rn. My hairs been so yuck for like 3 days. And I've tried all the leave ins I have and all the $$ products (which is a lot as I cycle through abt 3/4 at a time several times throughout a month). My hair was gorgeous and then I got out and omgggg

Love how u got straight to the point. You explained everything really well. Thank you❤. New sub😊
Thanks for this info.
Had alot of trouble with showering head with hard water all my life.
And you are very cute though.
I have been freaking out because my hair has been getting so thin. Did so much searching around, worried about my health even, and after a while I eventually came up on this information. A quick Google search later I learn that my town's water is over twice what's considered "very hard" 💀 gonna be washing my hair with distilled water for a while and pray 🙏
I feel its affecting my eyes
I have very hard water and even when I use ash dyes and toning shampoos, my hair turns brassy again due to the chlorine and iron in the water.
I used to live in a hard water area with limestone rocks everywhere !!!! The Water Tasted Good but limestone build up was bad !!!! Now I live in a Soft Water Area and the Water tastes Horrible !!!! There is no build up at all of mineral deposits !!!! You can have a kettle and use it every day for 30 years and the inside stays Shiny, just like New. !!!! And you only need a tiny bit of Washing Up Liquid to make Mountains of Foam !!!! But I can never get used to the Disgusting taste of the Soft Water !!!!

“copper reddish tint to hair” WTF THATS WHY MY HAIR DOES THAT OMFG. i typically have a brown hair at the root but the rest of my hair gets so pale and weird. it looks lifeless but i don’t use any heat tools. omfg my mystery has been solved
Does anyone know why when I wet my hair (guy with 3A3B curls) in the morning it drys crunchy as if I put hairspray or some sort of product but I never do!! Why does it do that, it’s never done that before until this past year
So apple cider vinegar is the only one I could understood. And the only one I can use at home. Do u apply this after the shampoo every wash day? I live in Guatemala!! I know now I have hardwater since the water don't come through and get stuck in the shower ... because of the crystallized sulfates u mention. How do u apply the apple cider vinegar prior to shampoo?
