Want Healthier-Looking Hair? This Unexpected Beauty Product Might Be the Answer

We're in the golden era of haircare. There are toning shampoos, gloss treatments, scalp scrubs, hair supplements, and a handful of other products that claim to give you better hair packing the shelves. But if you've tried everything under the sun and still find yourself with dull or damaged hair, your water could be the culprit. Yes, you heard us correctly—the hard water from your sink or showerhead can affect your beauty routine. So when we heard of the Culligan softener as a solution for healthier-looking skin and hair, our ears perked up.

Hard water isn't water that grows spikes overnight; it’s water with a high concentration of calcium and magnesium that leaves behind a residue. A common problem in households across North America, hard water could be why your beauty products aren't as effective. The mineral buildup it leaves behind on your hair and skin can cause an itchy scalp, prevent products from absorbing well, and fade color-treated hair more quickly. In short, hard water can cause dry, dull, limp hair. Soft water is the ingredient missing from your daily beauty regimen, which is why the first step in your routine should be getting the Aquasential® Smart High Efficiency Water Softener.

Vetted as the world's most efficient softener*, the Culligan tool helps remove the mineral content throughout the water in your home for soft water. The best part? You can manage it all through an app, which tracks your water usage and alerts you when there are maintenance needs. Genius, right? The hassle-free system earned its reputation for durability and is certified for effective performance. And besides the hair and skin benefits, soft water helps keep water-using appliances running smoothly, promotes cleaner laundry, and keeps dishes spot-free.

Soft water is the reliable skincare and haircare hack you never knew you needed. So we're skipping the beauty sales this season and opting for the Culligan water softener, the IYKYK treatment experts and beauty lovers are getting behind. No need to thank us when your hair is softer and shinier and your skin is revitalized and glowing.
