Water softener has ruined hair

[Flamingolingo]

I wonder if any of you have the solution to my problem. We installed a water softener a couple of weeks ago, and it’s great, cleaning is so much easier, both my and DS eczema is much much better. The problem is that it’s made my hair limp and lifeless, and the roots go greasy really easily. I normally use a silicone free shampoo for curly hair, and am wondering about what I should be looking at for the softened water. Will it just get better? It’s a total nightmare!

Update: it’s doing better this week, no longer such a damp greasy mess. I gave it a good thorough wash in a sea salt shampoo (I bought the Lee Stafford one as was there in ye olde Amazon), and then returned to my normal shampoo but being extra careful to use less and rinse well. It’s not completely back to normal but a definite improvement! Bonus: soft hair is making hair less prone to tangle and less in need of conditioner
