Prevent hair fall due to hard water

I have hair fall problems mainly due to hard water. I am planning to buy water softener which would not change the TDS but make the water soft (basically, replace Calcium and Magnesium with Sodium in the salts). Would it help in preventing hair damage and loss due to hard water? Or will it be ineffective due to the TDS being same?
