Hard water, characterized by its high mineral content, might be wreaking havoc on your hair without you even realizing it. The minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, present in hard water can create a film on your hair, making it a challenging environment for moisture to penetrate. Based on the Falkenmark Water Index, water scarcity affects nearly 76% of the population in India, forcing reliance on hard water for daily necessities. The World Bank reports that although India constitutes 18% of the global population, it possesses adequate water resources for only 4% of its inhabitants. Projections for 2023 indicate that approximately 91 million Indians will lack access to safe water.
