I’ve done all the hair maxes like oil, less shampoo etc but my hair is still frizzy and dry, and I have a dry flaky scalp

Apparently these are all signs of hard water, a strong sign is if u have a white chalky substance on your shower head (I do)

I think this is what’s causing my hair problems, I will buy a filter and test it out

totally right, i've been "suffering" from a dry scalp since i was 12 and literally the problem is the water quality. I have all the products for my hairtype and i still have some tiny flakes, just because the water quality is so shit

This is indeed true, the minerals in hard water strip your hair of vital oils leaving it dry and brittle same goes for your skin too

really wavy bordering slightly curly, extremely dry and thick, and gets frizzy af after showering
so you the same hairtype as me, thick 2c hair that gets dry easily. have you tried deep conditioning your hair?

I’ve tried all that it’s complete cope, either it’s my genetics or it’s hard water

I’ve tried not getting my hair wet for 3 days once and my hair was much softer and less frizzy

I tried it and it works, even by using hard water. So with a showerfilter it would be much better
But after a 2 days it was frizzy and dry again.

Same for me but my hair became drier.
