Best Hair Care Tips for Austin's Hard Water
Howdy, my Austin sweethearts! We're blessed with a lot of things here in our vibrant city, but one little wrinkle we've got to iron out is the hard water. This pesky issue can leave your hair feeling as dry as a summer in Texas and rob it of its natural shine. But don't fret, sugar pies! Here at BrAsh Haus Beauty, we're equipped with the best advice to tackle this issue head-on.
1. Invest in a Quality Shower Filter
First and foremost, darlings, a good shower filter can be your hair's best friend in battling hard water. It helps strip out some of those unwelcome minerals that harden our water. Ashley, our beloved stylist and a true hair whisperer, personally uses this fantastic shower filter at home to keep her own hair vibrant and full of life.
2. Use a Chelating Shampoo Once a Week
Chelating shampoos are specially designed to wash away any build-up from your hair, including those troublesome minerals from hard water. The lovely Riawna Capri has sung their praises, sharing stories of how they've transformed her clients' hair. But remember, these shampoos can be a bit too potent if used too often, so we recommend using them just once a week.
3. Deep Conditioning is Your Friend
Hard water can leave your hair thirstier than a cowboy in the desert, which is why a deep conditioning treatment is so crucial. In fact, you can easily add a deep conditioning treatment to any service at BrAsh Haus Beauty. One of our absolute favorites we have in stock at the salon is the Miracle Hair Treatment by Eleven Australia, designed with love to rejuvenate and replenish your hair's natural luster.
4. Vinegar Rinses Can Help
For a quick and easy DIY solution to hard water hair woes, consider a vinegar rinse. Just mix one part apple cider vinegar with one part distilled water, and voila! Use this concoction as a rinse after your usual shampooing, and make sure to rinse it out with some cold water afterwards. This simple trick, endorsed by the exceptional Larisa Love, can help strip away build-up and restore your hair's natural shine.
5. Use Leave-In Conditioner or Serums
Leave-in conditioners and serums can serve as your hair's shield against hard water. They form a protective barrier that keeps those pesky minerals at bay.
6. Limit Heat Styling
Heat can fan the flames of hard water damage, so try to keep your use of heated styling tools to a minimum. Heatless styles can be your hair's saving grace, and believe us, your options are endless!
Remember, dumplins, everyone's hair is unique, and finding the perfect routine for you might take a bit of tinkering. If you're ever in doubt, just come on down to BrAsh Haus Beauty. We're here to ensure your hair stays as stunning as a Hill Country sunset!
Keep shining, Austin. Until our next chat!
