Hard water contains high levels of minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals come from dissolved rock (like limestone) and are picked up as water moves through the ground.

☕ Is It Bad to Drink?
No, not really.
• Hard water is generally safe to drink and can even provide a small amount of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.
• Some people prefer its taste compared to soft water.

🧴 Why Is Hard Water Bad for Skin and Hair?
Here’s where hard water becomes a problem:
- Skin Problems
• Dryness: The minerals can strip natural oils from your skin, making it feel dry, itchy, or irritated.
• Soap Scum: Hard water doesn’t let soap lather well. It forms a film (soap scum) instead, which stays on the skin and clogs pores.
• Eczema or Acne: People with sensitive skin or eczema may see flare-ups. - Hair Damage
• Dull & Dry Hair: Minerals build up on the hair shaft, making it feel dry, rough, or heavy.
• Color Fade: If you dye your hair, hard water can make color fade faster.
• Scalp Irritation: Like with skin, the scalp can become dry or itchy.

🏠 Other Downsides of Hard Water
• Soap Waste: You need to use more soap or shampoo to get a proper lather.
• Scale Buildup: Hard water leaves limescale on taps, pipes, and appliances like kettles or water heaters, reducing their efficiency and lifespan.
• Stiff Laundry: Clothes washed in hard water may feel rough or look dingy.
