Hard water. Yuck!
Most people – especially, from the city – have never even heard of this…
but, it is totally a thing. Really?
…And it dries out your skin, and turns your hair into a crack whore masterpiece. “Uh, paging Dr. PimpStreet. Paging Dr. PimpStreet. We’ve got a situation…”
It doesn’t happen immediately, although, it does it within a few days. I thought I’d attack my crispy hair problem with moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that were too damaging to my hair before; but, now, may perfectly moisturize accordingly. It helped? A little. In a more, it’s got a sheen that is clearly matted down like a wet mop, kind of way. Whoa not good.
As I’m over-moisturizing my skin aggressively too, I’ve learned – through google (rolling eyes that this is my only go-to) – that only masks the problems and makes the dry skin worse. Uh.. what? Dampness equating to MORE withered husk. Wonderful.
Come on, flakey skin!
Does that make any sense to anyone…
Alternatively, I tried another “remedy” to my pipe cleaner strands from hell. Oils. Rubbing the scalp with argan, coconut, and even caster oils is supposed to assist.
Um… Nope. Just sopping oils dripping from my scalp. *frustrated sigh
Depending on the source, hard water is not a health hazard and then it can be a health hazard. Ummm… so is it? Or isn’t it?
One will never know unless they test the arsenic level in the hard water. Yup, you read correctly… Arsenic level. Interesting stuff, no?
Ugh. Great, now my water is trying to kill me out here in the sticks. Dramatic much?
Depends on who you ask…

“While some studies suggest a correlation between hard water and lower cardiovascular disease mortality, other studies do not suggest a correlation. The National Research Council states that results at this time are inconclusive and recommends that further studies should be conducted.” (source: water-research.net)

Awesome.
Cardiovascular disease mortality.
Gotta love the perks of this hard water thing. Or not thing.

All I know, is my hair is crunchy and my skin is parched.
Woe is me…. *gracefully leans back with one arm to the forehead
