Shampoo and Conditioner comes in many different types. There are ones for dry hair, for curly hair, thin hair, colored hair, and etc. How come you never see shampoos designed not for the hair that is being washed, but for the conditions that the hair is being washed in? Such as...shampoo and conditioner made for people using hard/mineral water. I have no idea if this would even be possible, but it would work great.
My hair has been more tangled, dry, gross, and etc. since I school began and I am showering in hard water that comes out of the spiket in a mere dripple. I can't even rinse all of the shampoo/conditioner out of my hair due to the low velocity and this creates a dandriff problem. Another problem is the fact that the showers are only cleaned on a two to three day routine and they often become contaminated by people engaging in intimate conduct, thus I am hesitent to shower on a daily basis.
I'm never going to cut, but this is getting a little tedious. Neither Aussie Moist or Loriel Vive is working for me at this point. Are there products out there for poor washing conditions such as the ones I am experiencing?

while your in the shower, hold an ice cream bucket up to the shower head, fill it up half way, and dump it over your head to rinse it all out. You just gotta get creative, or else some crazy kid is gonna make up a dandruff related nickname and you'll never get a date. :)
Note: that idea about the products based on "hard" or "soft" water is an interesting idea. But most people don't even know what the heck hard or soft water is. "What comes out of your taps?? Hard or soft water????" "Uhhhhh..... regular water??"

I've heard that soft water is also pretty bad for washing the hair. My mother said that she could barely rinse the shampoo out of her hair when she was visiting someone and using their (soft water) shower. I assume she's correct, but again it's not personal experience so I'm not positive.
