Does anyone know of a good way to neutralize the effects hard water has on hair? Our water here is very hard and my hair seems damaged from it, even the color gets a reddish tint to it only a week or two after I color it (usually medium ash blonde)

Any suggestions?

"Clarifying shampoos will strip all hair but I warn color-treated hair to stay far away," says Chiccine. "Instead, combine five aspirin with a quart of water. Shampoo with your regular cleanser and rinse, and then apply this mix, and rinse it out. It removes product build-up without stripping hair and even gets the yellow out of silver shades."

I had to finally get a water filter put on the kitchen faucet...I think you can also find the hand shower sprays with a filter on it now to filter out all the bad stuff. I have noticed a big difference....I just have to wash my hair at the kitchen sink instead of in the shower. Walmart is the most inexpensive place to purchase that I am aware of.

Adding a little lemon juice to the water you use to rinse your hair can also eliminate hard water deposits. from: http://www.richfeel.com/articles4.htm
i also heard that giving your hair "oil treatments" once in a while helps.

I don't know if this will help you or not. A beautician once told my daughter and me to add a teaspoon or two of baking soda to our shampoo. Hope it helps you.
