Dear Clean Water Man:
I moved from the city to the suburbs where I have my own well. The water is very hard and my hair has become absolutely horrible. Why does hard water make hair so unmanageable? It is like straw!

Dear Scarecrow Hair Lady:
Hard water has dissolved minerals in it. The most common minerals causing hard water are calcium and magnesium. When the water industry says "hard water", what we are really saying is water with dissolved ROCK in it.
The dissolved rock gets on your hair and coats it. As the dampness dries from your hair, it actually leaves the dissolved rock behind. It is no longer dissolved because the solvent (water) has evaporated and left the rock behind. If you can imagine that each of your hairs will now be coated with rock, you can understand why it gets so hard and unmanageable.
This is why soft water can be such a life style improvement for your home since it removes this dissolved rock so that it can't coat your hair.
