I've discovered a way to get clean hair!

[bigbuttons]

This might sound silly but for the past couple of weeks I haven't been able to get my hair clean. After I washed it it looked and felt , well dull, greasy and unwashed. I tried different shampoos including clarifying ones. I shampooed really well, rinsed really well, all that I could think of. Then I read about doing a final rise with bottled water. I didn't hold much hope, but it has been transformative. My hair is swishy and shiney and clean looking.
I live in a hard water area which I'm sure didn't help.
Anyway, just a thought for any of you who are struggling with dull, limp tresses.....

Did you warm the water up beforehand (which bottled water was it, out of interest?)? I am flinching at the idea of cold water running down my back :)

I may try that.

Mixing a bit of baking soda in with your shampoo works a treat too (applying to only soaking wet hair)

Leo, no I used it at room temp. I hate cold things but actually it wasn't nearly as hideous as I was expecting. The water wasn't 'posh' just cheap stuff from aldi or asda. It has made a huge difference to the condition of my hair though

pinkrocker I have heard about using baking soda. Doesn't it dry your hair out?

Never tried it myself but wouldn't a filter on the shower have the same effect? I remember Jonathan Antin from the reality series Blowout marketing them years ago.

Thanks bigbuttons... :)

yes a filter wold work, can't afford that though!

It did dry it out, intentionally, as my roots get quickly greasy! But as long as you put conditioner on the lengths at the same time it's great!
