Here’s a fact that will blow your mind: your shower water might be the villain. Hard water (full of calcium and magnesium) leaves a chalky residue on your hair that dries out your scalp. It’s like rinsing your head in a rock quarry.
A cheap fix? Get a shower-head filter for twenty bucks. It’s the unsung hero of scalp care. Also, finish your shower with a cold rinse. It shocks your pores shut and adds shine, plus it makes you feel like a Viking warrior who’s just conquered a glacier. Embrace the shiver.
