I recently noticed that my hair at the roots looks and feels greasy as soon as I get out of the shower, kind of like I didn't rinse all of my conditioner out. At first I thought it was because I changed shampoos, but I have tried two other kinds and the problem has not gone away. I am starting to think that it may be something in our water. We recently moved and my boyfriend has noticed that our water smells like chlorine. We've lived here for a few weeks and I just started having the problem with my hair so could it be that the chlorine is causing some kind of buildup in my hair? I am going to try a clarifying shampoo to see if that gets rid of it but I am just wondering if that is what could be causing it. Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thanks :)

Hair build-up can be caused by hair products, hard water, chlorine or from water that contain copper. You can use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove the build-up.

It might be the chlorine, when you want to shower your try using a mineral water, if you notice your hair got clean then the problem is from water!

Good Luck

Buy one of those water purifyers for the shower heads. Those work wonders. I think you can get one for $20 +
