So no, hard water doesn’t make your scalp produce extra oil. But it mimics greasiness so perfectly that you’ll keep washing and scrubbing, only to get nowhere. It’s a trickster, not a truth-teller.
The cool takeaway? Your hair might be perfectly healthy—it’s just fighting a mineral invasion. A few small tweaks to your routine, and you can win the war against the fake grease.
Next time your hair feels icky fresh out of the shower, don’t panic. Just laugh at your sneaky water, pour on some vinegar, and let those minerals know who’s boss. You’ve got this.
