Hard water leaves mineral buildup on the hair that makes it feel stiff, dull, and hard to lather. A water softener is the fix that most people notice in the very first shower.
The buildup

The lather
Soap and shampoo do not lather as well in hard water, so people use more product and still rinse out with a film.
The fix
A water softener removes the minerals, and hair feels cleaner, softer, and easier to manage after the first wash.
The products
Chelating shampoos can help in the meantime, but they are treating the symptom rather than the water.
The call
