Solving frizz - water softener - is it that easy??!

[YoureBreakingMyHeartCecilia]

The HOURS and the MONEY I have spent trying (and failing) to sort out terrible frizz.

I spent the night away last night at a friend’s who has a water softener.

Washed my hair there last night and The difference is phenomenal

Just FaceTimed my DH (who never notices my hair) and the first thing he said was ‘wow! Your hair looks stunning’.

I literally washed it last night with my regular (CG approved) shampoo and conditioner and slept with it wet which I often do. The only different thing was the soft water.

This morning it is soft, touchable, still a little bit textured but not the halo of frizz that accompanies me everywhere. Loose natural waves. I look like I’ve stepped out of a shampoo ad (well, my hair does, not much that can be done about the rest of me 😂)

Is this the answer I’ve been searching for most of my adult life?!? How have I not twigged this before?! And how easy is it to get a water softener?! Do I need a whole new bathroom? Honestly I’m willing, if that’s what it takes to get stunning hair instead of CRAP hair!

Just move to Devon OP! It's done wonders for my hair and skin.
Went back to London recently and the water was like abrasive! Also chunk of limescale in my coffee...yuck!!

I'm living in a soft water area but it didn't help my hair much, as it's the shampoo that is the problem.

What did help was giving up shampoo. I just wash with conditioner and rinse with vinegar (malt or apple cider) and it's in the best condition ever. I sometimes use a tiny bit of shampoo on the back of my head, where it gets greasy but that doesn't cause frizz.

You might have easier hair than me, though!
