The quality of water used to wash hair can impact its color. Hard water contains minerals like magnesium, which can cause a dulling buildup that affects hair pigment. This article explores the effects of magnesium on hair color.

Approximately 60% of the body's magnesium is stored in the skeleton, with only 1% present in the blood, maintaining a tightly controlled balance. This remarkable regulation prevents excess mineral accumulation in healthy individuals, which raises the question: **does magnesium build up in your body?** (or can it?).

According to humidifier manufacturers and health experts, putting alkaline water in a humidifier is not recommended and can be harmful to both your health and the appliance. Alkaline water contains minerals that, when aerosolized by a humidifier, can be dispersed into the air and cause significant issues.
