Hard water victims, what do you do?

[dinaaike]

If you have extremely hard water but are having great hair days right now, please share the secrets of your success!

Are you well on your way to your goal?
Are you co-washing?
Which conditioner did you choose and why?
How frequently are you shampooing?
Which shampoo do you use and why?
Are you struggling with dryness?
What are the hard water challenges you frequently face?

TIA!

The best thing I did was get to Lowes and get a shower filter, which will take the chlorine out of your water. That may help as far as conditioner washes, etc. I love my shower filter. We just have to change the filter every 6 months. But the tub doesn't get the hard water build up as fast with the filter.

Are you co-washing?Yes,I have been daily since I started my regimen.I am laying off for a while, though.

How frequently are you shampooing?2/3 days a week.
Which shampoo do you use and why?Design essentials moisture retention poo/JOICO chelating poo
Are you struggling with dryness?I was up until 3 days ago.I was not sealing in the moisture with oils(it makes a HUGE difference)
What are the hard water challenges you frequently face?Right now,my hard water concerns are minimal.I have a shower filter and I found a great chelating poo.

I just read the back of my Elasta QPCreme Conditioning Shampoo bottle and it says "is extremely effective in hard water areas." Anyone know anything about this?
