My hair likes hard water?

[Neith]

I've been living on Long Island for a couple of months. The water is so bad sometimes it smells like someone poured bleach in the glass. A lot of the time my BF has to shampoo his hair twice because the shampoo won't lather properly. I can't drink water straight from the faucet, I had to get a filter. NYC water is 10x better.

My hair has been thriving though. Even with daily wetting. My hair has IMPROVED since using this water.

My skin has improved too.

I use ORS creamy aloe only once a month, and even then it's diluted with water and oil.

What gives? I thought that hard water is bad for your hair. I remember being really scared that my hair would get dry/brittle when we first moved here.

Anyone had this experience?

YES! I even bought an IWater filter that I couldn't install. I was so scared that the hard water would make my hair fall out. After daily wetting, no problems. It's been 4-5 months of daily wetting and my hair is thriving. I wonder what will happen when I do finally get that thing installed. It's sitting under my cabinet. It didn't fit my shower head. Seems like one MORE thing I've bought for my hair that I didn't really need!

In Nassau. Yeah, I was surprised too, apparently it's a very localized problem. The town's water supply is just... bad.

Hey!

You're lucky then. The first time I realized it was when we went out to dinner and the water they gave us smelled like bleach. When we asked about it management told us that sometimes the water is like that. Every now and then it gets like that even at home.
