What kind of water is better for curly hair, hard or soft?

I have naturally curly hair, but since I moved to Brooklyn about a year ago my hair does not curl like it used to. I use all the same hair products and every time I try to wear my hair curly it is limp and hangs straight. When I was living in NJ or visiting friend in Buffalo I had curly hair that bounced and was defined. Is there something I can do to my water in Brooklyn so I can have nice, bouncy, defined curls?What kind of water is better for curly hair, hard or soft?
Yeah, water type can definitely have an effect on curls. Chemicals can too. You can get a shower filter and it will help lots ($20-30 at home depot or lowes). These maps are cool:

For specific products for your hair type you might want to explore the forums at:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products.

There is a pretty popular product used there called Re:coil; it's used to make the hair curlier. You could use it to counteract this bad water :)



Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair. Give it a shot and check it out:

idk. but i think if you want that shape again then you should try after getting out of the shower blow dry your hair and as you blow dry it make sure you wrap the hair around a brush that looks like this

as you are doing that take the blow dryer and put it rite against the brush and the hair. after the hair is completely dry put all of the products in that you usually add.
