Having a shower to wash it out won't work so long as you have hard water still coming through the tap. If this is a very real concern for you, you should look into having a water softener installed. In the short term, try rinsing your hair after (after shampooing and using conditioner) with bottled water. Another short-term option until you water softener is installed is to mix a tablespoon of baking powder with two tablespoons of shampoo. Use this in your hair once a week to clarify your hair and remove excess buildup.

I had this happen to me too. Just today I went to Sally Beauty Supply and bought a product from ION called Crystal Clarifying Treatment $ 2.79 . I came home and washed my hair with bottled water (we're having a new well dug in three days). I was amazed the orange dingy color was GONE! My hair is back to blonde the way its supposed to be. They also sell a shampoo and conditioner that's for people that have to use well water. Its suppposed to give your hair some protection from the minerals and hard water. GOOD LUCK --- THERE IS A SOLUTION!

Vinegar rinse is great. We used to have really hard water, 42 grains of hardness. Our glasses would get a skuzz on it in minutes. Imagine what our hair looked like. We used to place our dishes in a sink full of water with a glug of vinegar. Took the icky stuff right off. Works beautiful in hair and makes your hair the perfect PH, too. Brings out the shine. Dilute it in some water and rinse with it.

A shampoo for hard water will definitely help. Another good way that has been proven to work is adding a small amount of white vinegar to the water you are using and rinsing well. As it's a mild acid it will gently remove any hard water deposits that have built up in your hair. Source: http://www.hardwaterstainstips.com/

See your local MD and get a prescription to Zyban or other antidepressant to stop smoking. You will need to take them for awhile until they began working and then taper off the cigs one by one. I did it by clocking/timing/recording when I had to have a smoke and then removing one at a time. When I got down to 6 a day, I quit and kept on the Rx for another two weeks or so. It was not easy even with the Rx. (over 10 years now)
