The Impact of Hard Water on Hair and Skin

Hard water can severely affect hair and skin quality, leaving individuals with dry hair and skin, oil buildup, and an increased need for products to achieve desired results. Switching to a water softener, such as those offered by Culligan, helps combat these issues by providing softer, cleaner water at every faucet. The benefits include enhanced hydration for skin and hair, longer-lasting cleanliness, and a reduction in product waste. An anecdote shared highlights a personal experience where the speaker assumed their shampoo was at fault before realizing the true culprit was the hard water they were using.
