Washing hair with hard water leads to the deposition of excessive minerals on the scalp and hair strands, block moisture absorption leading to dryness and causing to feel heavy, dull and weighed down.   This build up can also make it difficult for hair products such as shampoo and conditioners to work effectively, causing the hair to brittle and prone to breakage. Hard water harms the scalp which could lead to excess hair loss. It also causes your hair to take on a ruffled, frizzy appearance.

Hard water will make your scalp dry, itchy and flaky, which can lead to the formation of dandruff. Hard water will affect the PH balance of the scalp. When the PH balance is disrupted, it can favor's the growth of fungi like Malassezia, which is associated with dandruff. The deposition of excessive minerals on the scalp can clog the hair follicles and block the shedding of the normal dead skin cells. The accumulation of dead skin cells can also lead to the formation of dandruff. Dandruff causes itchiness can lead to scratching. This can injure hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
