Hard water can do a number on your hair.
From limestone-rich aquifers to everyday showers, the minerals in our water can leave hair dry, brittle, dull, and even affect color. Does your hair feel weighed down, tangled, or hard to style? Read on ⬇️

⚠️What hard water does:
Blocks hydration, leaving strands dry and brittle.
Builds up on hair and scalp, reducing volume and manageability.
Reacts with color, causing fading or brassy tones.
Roughens cuticles, making styling difficult and frizz more likely.
Irritates the scalp, leading to dryness or itchiness.
✨ How to protect your strands:
Clarifying shampoos like Oribe The Cleanse or Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo.
Chelating shampoos once every 4–6 weeks for stubborn buildup. Connect with your stylist for treatment.
Deep conditioning / hydrating masks 💧
Leave-in / protective sprays.
Water softeners or shower filters.

Taking these steps can help your hair stay healthy, shiny, and manageable even in Texas hard water 💛

She’s a fall 🍂 blonde girly now 📍 @growsalongtx ______________________________________ DM me if you’re looking for ways to transition your summer hair into fall & winter✨ or into a lived-in look ______________________________________ #oribeobsessed #goldwellcolor #goldwellapprovedus #austinhairstylist #georgetowntx #georgetowntxlife #cedarparkhair #cedarparkmoms #libertyhilltx #atxhair

Going 100% grey isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! I’m here to help find the right balance that suits your lifestyle and personal style. If you take a close look at her ‘before’ pictures, you’ll notice hints of her natural auburn tones still shining through. Our goal was to blend her hairline, minimize grey then enhance it all with a semi-permanent red/copper shade she’s already familiar with. As the color fades, it softens the line of demarcation, leaving her with a beautifully blended look—truly the best of both worlds ✨ It’s the “This is exactly what my hair used to look like” for me ✨ 📍 @growsalongtx 🎨 @goldwellus ____________________________________________ #goldwell #georgetowntx #cedarparktx #cedarparkhair #cedarparkmoms #gingerhair #redhairstyle #grayinghair #hairstyles #haircolorist #hotd #ootd #naturalredhead #naturalcopper #redcopper #greyhair #grayhair #portfolio
