    Mine is driving me up the wall :x
    The very next day after washing,it already looks and feels awful again,like there is some kind of film or residue on it. From what I read online it could have something to do with having hard water. We have county water.
    I did a vinegar rinse yesterday (6 parts of water to 1 part vinegar) but there's no difference.
    I've also read about charcoal faucet filters but have not tried that yet.
    At one time I thought it might be hormones but that would not explain why my husband is having the same problem :?
    I'm just wondering if we are the only two in this area who are experiencing this:?:
    I read where some people buy distilled water to wash their hair with but that would be a last alternative.

    Have you tried a clarifying shampoo? It helps remove buildup from hard water, chlorine, etc.

    I had read somewhere where you can sprinkle some on your shampoo but had not tried it yet.

    Yes, baking soda is the ticket to getting that gunk out of your hair!!!

    i think your hair just have to get used to the water - when we first moved here the first 2 1/2 years we lived in a house with a well - my hair totally freaked out for the first year but eventually it settled back down again - now i am on county water and no problems - i did use a lot of intense conditioner that first year:lol:

    Rinse with beer, then conditioner

    Before shampooing take a small amount of olive oil and work into hair
    Try it

    When I had trouble with my hair/scalp, I realized that I had yeast build up. So I purchased Nizoral shampoo. It's over the counter with the other dandruff shampoo. The bottle is in a box on the top shelf at Target. It has really helped the shine of my hair and scalp. B/c of my medical condition, I have it on hand at all times. But now I use my old regular shampoo! I've used the Nizoral once this year. :eek:) I was using it three times a week!
