We have recently moved to a different area and now, the water here seems to make it flat. I used to be able to wash it (daily) and keep that clean , bouncy feeling. Now It is okay..(right after washing) then it just goes to lying flat.
I use mousse and would be greatful if someone has an answer (besides telling me to go to my old neighbors' house and wash my hair there!..lol.)Thanks!

We use to have trouble with hard water where we live. It might be a good idea to install a water filter to the faucet where you shampoo your hair. "Pur" water filters fasten right to your water faucet. If this is not possible, you might want to try a good clarifying shampoo. You can ask for that at any given professional salon.

Thanks Angela...I will check out a PUR water nozzle and also some of the clarifying shampoo that you had suggested.

PUR water filters work great and don't cost much until you go to replace the filter. If I remember right, the filter is about 3/4 of the cost of the thing, and it runs out pretty fast. I grew up using rainwater (the hardest water known, hard as iron filings) and the only thing I found that would help was White Rain Conditioner. They still make it, PTL. wink wink wink

I'm thinking that you might have to go with a different style. Just go with the limp look. I fought that battle and lost. I have trouble with limp scraggly hair. The nice neat hairstyle just don't work for me unless I feel like spending my life in front of a mirror. If my hair is down, I just go with the messy look. I like using those large clips and pulling it back too. Try a really good (probably expensive too) hairdresser that will actually give you suggestions instead of "What do you want."

We have hard water here as the water supply is glacier fed so I know what you are talking about. It's hard on the budget to experiment with hair care products. Are you using a conditioner? If so, head to Walmart and check out the Suave Professionals Humectant, similar to Nexxus, they say. It works well for me and doesn't have a harsh fragrance. Stay away from the Suave Healthy Shine with pro-vitamins, it doesn't do well in hard water. I have found that Clairol products tend to flatten my hair with hard water. Maybe try a Level 8 hair gel. Hope you find the right combination soon and please report back on the success.
