It’s Not You, It’s Your Hard Water: How To Get Your Good Hair Days Back

If literally NO amount of deep conditioner is fixing your dull, damaged, or sticky hair, I have good and bad news: your hard water is to blame.

The bad news is that more than 85% of homes in the US have hard water, so it’s kinda unavoidable, but the good news is, there’s a holistic solution: Prose’s custom haircare! (looking at you, filtered shower heads).

So…what does hard water actually DO to your hair? (spoiler alert: it can cause flakiness, dryness, stickiness, and tangles)

• High traces of magnesium and calcium can penetrate your hair & crystallize as your hair dries, which can lead to a sticky residue you feel on your strands
• It leads to duller hair, tangles, and breakage
• It can also leave your skin & scalp feeling extremely dry, itchy, & oily
• Color & chemically treated hair is at risk for hard water damage, which may cause fading

Here’s why Prose’s custom haircare works better than my expensive deep conditioners and clarifying shampoos:

First thing’s first: Filtered shower heads are cool, but they’re a pain in the 🍑 to install. You also can't install them in a lot of apartments (sorry, NYC girlies…). And an apple cider vinegar rinse makes your hair smell like a salad…ew. 🥗

Since Prose is completely custom, it takes into account the hard water in your zip code, and formulates your products accordingly. Prose has customized formulas for thousands of different customer zip codes to meet each customer’s unique needs in their area. Now that’s impressive.

You can also tweak your Prose formula at any time—for example, if you move to an area with harder or softer water, or you require more hydration in the winter.

…And did I mention that with Prose, you can choose your own scent? The Corsica fragrance’s Anjou Pear, Peony, and Cedar Wood transport me to Italy: it smells like fresh laundry, sun-baked sand, and a crisp white wine, and it’s heavenly. Or you can go fragrance-free!

So basically, Prose is 100% personalized, which = results.

Speaking of results...
