It was always a thing that moms would tell their daughters after a swim: “go rinse out your hair or it’ll turn green!” It’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but it doesn’t come from nowhere, either. Many pools are treated with harsh chemicals like chlorine, which damage hair and can even make blonde hair, well, Grinch-inspired.
If you wouldn’t want green hair after a swim, you probably don’t want it after a shower either. Unfortunately, much of our city water, just like our pools, is treated with chlorine and chloramines — contaminants that can be harsh on your pipes, bad for your hair, and leave you feeling a little more Christmas-themed than you were going for.
A shower filter mitigates all that, reducing harsh contaminants like chlorine and chloramines, giving you softer, shinier hair; it keeps your color from fading and so you can flaunt healthier smoother skin, no matter the season.
