Check out Crystal’s experience with a shower filter and her hair…
After we moved into the house we live in now, about 7 years ago, I started noticing that my hair just looked icky a lot of the time. It felt like the texture had changed and it wasn’t smooth like it used to be.
I thought maybe it was just because I was getting older or something. I tried changing hair products, but it didn’t really seem to make a difference.
I finally decided to just let it be and figured it just was what it was… until we went and stayed in a hotel and I washed my hair and it looked so soft and smooth again.
Say what?? I was confused. You think I would instantly figure out it was the water, but I didn’t.
This happened two more times over the next year — where my hair would look pretty amazing when I washed it at a hotel.
I finally clued in that it was the water I was washing my hair with that was the issue and our water was basically wrecking my hair. (We knew our water was hard, but we found out that it also has really high chlorine content.)
It was about that time that I realized both girls had had dandruff and their hair hadn’t looked great ever since we moved into this house, too.
We didn’t have it in the budget to put in a whole house water system to soften or filter our water right now nor could the girls and I just run and stay at a hotel every time we needed to wash our hair, but I really wanted to try to do something about it.
I looked online and found that they sold shower water filters. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try and so I bought it on a whim and a hope.
It was super easy to install… and I noticed a difference in my hair immediately after I washed it the first time.
Since we installed it, my hair has looked so much better, been so much softer, and been so much easier to work with. I have been so impressed that we ended up buying a shower filter for the girls’ showers, too!
While we still hope to eventually put in a whole house water filtering or softening system (we need to do research on what the best options are for that!), for now, I’m happy that we have fixed some of the issues by just installing a simple shower filter.
Valid for a limited time only.
