Color and highlighting are the most expensive services we buy at our favorite hair salon. We expect the final result to last. By using a chlorine shower filter after you get home, you can protect your hair investment. Surprisingly, the best shower filter is less expensive than hair services.

Chlorine is used in all municipal water plants to kill dangerous bacteria and viruses. But, the chlorine that remains in your shower water is enough to negatively affect your hair color. Chlorine is a harsh disinfectant. Your hair needs to be washed gently, not disinfected! Chlorine is also used as a bleaching agent, but it is not designed for your hair.

Each hair shaft is covered by the cuticle, which is a layering of mini scales. These scales overlap to protect the hair and seal in the natural oils that come from your scalp. In a nice warm shower, the cuticle opens to allow cleaning. This needs to be a gentle action with a mild shampoo and rinsed in clean water. A bathroom shower filter will remove the chemicals that damage your hair.

Your hair is already in a vulnerable state since it is colored and/or highlighted. The chlorine residue in your water further strips your hair of its natural, protective oils. No wonder the result is dry, lifeless hair. Just think of the last time you went swimming in a chlorinated pool and how your hair dried to a matted mess!

A small price and easy installation and you can have a shower filter and you will enjoy the results for a lifetime. Hair products will bond to your truly clean hair. Your color will stay true for a longer period of time. Removing the damaging chlorine will give your hair a chance to heal. And we know that healthy hair is manageable and lustrous.
