Hi everyone, this is Yumi, a stylist at Viange FUGA.

Now that it’s May, the weather in California is getting warmer, and the sun is getting stronger too. That means it’s important to start thinking about UV protection for your hair as well.

As many of you probably know, California has hard water. This can have a big impact on both your hair and scalp—some of you may notice your hair feeling rough or stiff, color fading faster, or experiencing dryness and itchiness on your scalp.

This is because hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, and washing your hair with it daily can gradually affect both your hair and scalp.

One way to help is getting scalp cleansing treatments and deep conditioning hair treatment at the salon that nourish the hair, helping reduce dryness and roughness. At-home care is just as important, so choosing the right shampoo and treatment for your hair type can make a big difference in minimizing the effects of hard water.

Ametsuchi offers three types of shampoos: a Daily Shampoo for everyday use, a Fine Hair Shampoo for added volume, and a Dry Hair Shampoo for smoothing and moisture. Why not try finding the one that best suits your hair?
