Hard water tends to produce less lather compared to soft water. This is because hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium which can react with soap, forming insoluble compounds that reduce lather formation. Soft water, on the other hand, does not contain these minerals and allows soap to lather more easily.
hard water
Soft water produces more lather when soap is added compared to hard water. Soft water has fewer minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can react with soap to form a scum that reduces lather production.
Soapy water is a solution of water mixed with soap or detergent. When it becomes frothy but does not produce a lather, it usually means that the solution has trapped air bubbles within the liquid, creating a frothy texture.
Sodium palmitate produce a permanent lather with hard water..
soft water:1. makes lather with soap faster.2. use a lot of water.hard water:1. makes lather with soap in very less amount.2. soap is wasted.3. chlorides, sulphates and bicarbonates of Ca and Mg are responsible.
I assume you mean which gives least lather with solid soap. It will be the hardest water, that is the one with the most calcium and/or magnesium compounds.
Shampoos that are mixed with water to lather, are water based If you have spray in shampoo, or power shampoo, they are most likely power based, or water based
Shampoos produce lather due to the presence of surfactants, which are chemicals that reduce the surface tension of water. When mixed with water, surfactants trap air to form bubbles, creating lather as the shampoo is massaged into the hair. The lather helps to distribute the shampoo evenly and cleanse the hair effectively.

lather
Lather would be the combination of two, middle ground or in bathing it is the soapy, bubble mixture of shampoo and water.
Water is a universal solvent and there are two types of water i.e hard water and soft water. Soft water is the water that easily lather with soap while hard water does not lather with soap and is also of two type i.e temporary and permanent.
Glycerin-based soaps are typically the most slippery due to their moisturizing properties and ability to create a slick lather when combined with water.
There are a few reasons why your shampoo may not lather as expected. One common reason is using too much shampoo or having hard water, which can reduce lather. Additionally, certain hair products or natural oils on your scalp can also affect lather. It's important to follow the recommended usage instructions and consider factors like water quality and hair products when troubleshooting lather issues.
