Bristol has topped the list for one of the worst areas to live in to maintain healthy hair, according to the latest recent data. Experts at Europe's largest hair clinic, Elithair, have analysed the areas in the UK with the hardest and softest water after several academic studies have shown that hard water exacerbates can damage hair.
Researchers at University of Sheffield found an increase in cases of dermatitis as well as damage to the scalp in people living in an area with high water hardness.
Frequent dandruff or a very sensitive scalp to water as well as pimples or itching are all signs of the effect of water on the hair. Lengths can also become coarse in certain types of hair, such as curly hair or very porous hair.
