I feel you, my water is so hard, they write me and tell about it. Someone suggested for me to buy distilled water. I want the water that runs out my faucet, that i pay for, to be good enough for cooking, hair, etc...not. I buy enough water as it is for everything else, but I supposed if I'm buying all these products, to make it grow, I could buy water. Talk abt having to buy the dam milk and the cow. So far I'm washing weekly, but I noticed with all the stuff I use, S-curl, MTG, WGO, creams, leave ins, I want to wash more often. Shoot, u cant win for loosing, but I'll keep trying, I want that bra strap hair, dang it. So, just hang in there sis. Dont worry about the water, no water is good enough to drink, etc, anyway, out the tap, unless you got a super deluxe, home purification system, even if your water is great, what abt old pipes, etc. To much to worry about, from now own, no more worrying abt the water for me, thx for starting this thread, I just relieved myself from water worry, thru this post.
