Hi Tamika,
I just purchased a shower filter from home depot that supposedly is to make the water soft. The manufacturer was called Paragan and it cost $19.99 + 8.99 for the shower head. It has been installed for about 2 weeks, and the first time i shampooed my hair it did appear to be softer. I'm natural and i suffer with alot of tangles. It took me half the time to detangle my hair which says something. I have my hair in braids now so when i shampoo my hair i can't really tell the difference, but i will keep you posted. Seemingly it appears to make a difference not to mention that my showers are more stimulating.
