Southerners are more likely to face hair woes including dull, lifeless locks and even dandruff due to hard water where they live. Chelmsford residents may be more likely to struggle with their hair due to their local water supply, which was found to be the worst for hair and scalp health.
The city scooped the unfortunate bottom spot due to its hard water qualities and high levels of chloride (66.12 mg per litre). This means residents may find their hair is duller in colour and shine and may need a moisture boost after hair wash day.
Hot on their heels are Norwich, which ranked second, and London that came third. Both areas have been rated 'very hard' on the hard water scale and featured relatively higher rates of chloride (64.2 and 44 mg per litre, respectively) according to the data from their local water providers.
