Hard water is basically water with a higher mineral content and alkaline (hair and skin is naturally slightly acidic). This home-made apple cider vinegar rinse works a treat if you live in an area like me where this is a problem. Do this after you've shampooed and conditioned your hair as normal.
Take 100ml apple cider vinegar + 100ml distilled water
Mix in a bowl or glass (wide rimmed)
I found the trickiest part was actually getting it onto my hair without pouring it all over myself and into my eyes! After a few cider vinegar tears I found that if you stand in the shower and lean over, you can place all your hair into the glass whilst pushing the glass against your head. Stand upright and slowly release the mixture little by little, spreading it out over your whole head. Rinse out with distilled water and voila.
Having recently moved back home to London, I immediately notice my hair gets very dry and brittle due to the water, no matter how much I condition. This rinse neutralises the hard minerals, making it super soft and shiny. Once a week is often enough, too much acid isn't good for your hair either!
Much love
