soft water and hair

[Peony]

We just moved over the weekend, and this house has soft water, very soft water. I've always lived with hard water. I feel like i can not get the soap off and hands, and my hair! It is driving me insane! : I step out of the shower and it still feels like it is dirty, i can't stand it. I tried using the tiniest little dab of shampoo this am, and it didn't make a difference. Tips? Suggestions?

Mix your shampoo with some baking soda - it corrects the pH issue and will help clean better, not just for hair but for laundry and dishwashing. You will actually need to use more shampoo or detergent based cleansers for soft water.

Perhaps the other mamas can talk about more water treatment methods on a bigger scale (I'm not familiar with all the products to treat water).
