Also, if you don't want to shell out for a shower filter yet, you might try rinsing with distilled water first. If that helps, then opt for a shower filter.

This.

There are a lot of threads about water filters, if you do a search. The only showerhead water softener I recall reading about was something called a ShowerStick but most of the threads are about water filters (chlorine). I prefer to use a shower filter and an occasional sulfate poo, while others prefer to use a clarifying conditioner or low poo (sulfate free) with EDTA (or other chelating ingredient) to help remove the build up from hard water.

ETA: Thanks for posting the highlights of your conversation with Mary Pat. I hope the coconut curlada continues to work well for you!
