Ca (and Fe, Mg. Al) ion does not really attach to our hair, it just prevents other charged materials from rinsing off the hair or skin keratin. In other words: its the water not the keratin. Why EDTA is essential to so many formulas. Hair conditioners & dyes, that’s another story: you want those to remain deposited so for those, minerals in your water are your friend.

@chemicalmatt so hard water will help the deposition for conditioners like Amodimethicone. Did i get your point?
