Thanks for reading my blog and for being such a caring sister :) the way I know to combat hard water is;
To use clarifying shampoos once a month to ensure that there is no build up...

| Available here Get shower filter heads for when she wants to wash her hair to filter out the mineral deposits. |
Use apple cider vinegar regularly to rinse her hair to balance porosity and clear deposit build up.
She can also try oil rinsing, by coating her hair with oils and allowing the hair strands absorb the oils before she proceeds to wash it out.
Here's a screen shot of the benefits of Oil Rinsing from Hairfinity- makers of hair growth vitamins;

How to know your water is Hard? Basically, hard water is caused by too many mineral deposits like limestone, calcium sulfate and Calcium carbonate in the water, aside from leaving hair feeling dull and dry, it leaves things like ceramic dishes, utensils scaly, whitish and chalky.
Because of the deposits, you also find that it's difficult for the water to get soapy- that's the sure sign, so if in doubt, test your water today to know if it's hard or not.
Hope this information helps...Thanks for stopping by!
