Can water cause hair fall?

I went to a dermatologist at a reputed clinic when my hair fall started. He explained that while hard water damages the hair shaft, major shedding is often internal like thyroid or vitamin deficiencies, so get a proper clinical diagnosis done.

I faced horrible hair fall when we moved to a house with hard water. Washing my hair with water boiled with neem leaves or doing a final rinse with drinking water mixed with a little apple cider vinegar really helped restore the shine and strength.

Absolutely, hard borewell water is a major reason for hair damage and shedding in many Indian cities.

High mineral content in hard water creates a buildup on the scalp, which blocks hair follicles and causes breakage. If possible, use drinking water or RO water for your final hair rinse to keep the scalp healthy.
