Tap water causing ‘hair to fall out and rise in eczema cases’

Antonia Wood, who also worked as a stylist at Yours Truly, would often bring bottles of water back from Devon after visiting family to wash her hair in Bristol.

The stylist, who is currently living in New Zealand, said: “I really struggled with not only my hair but drinking it, I hated it.

“I used to freeze the large bottles and then keep them in the fridge as I needed them,” she added.

Flora McMahon, a yoga instructor based in Bedminster, said she faced the same issue.

Moving to Bristol from Wells 18 months ago, she said the city’s water affected her hair the most.

“Whenever I go home I find my hair is so much nicer,” she said. “Here I feel it’s so much flatter and less curly. My boyfriend says the water tastes much better in Cornwall.”
