Hard water buildup is stubborn. It might take a few rounds of the vinegar or clarifying shampoo to fully banish it. Don’t panic if your hair feels weird after the first attempt. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is perfect hair. Just be patient, and keep your hair hydrated between treatments.
The good news? Once you break up that mineral film, your hair will bounce back. You’ll remember what it feels like to run your fingers through soft, shiny strands—without the gritty crunch. Your hair is not broken; it’s just been through a mineral hurricane. And now you have the umbrella.
