Chlorine In Shower Water Shortens Life Of Hair Treatments

Online, November 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Research shows that in every shower chemicals added to the water supply bleaches out colour treatments. Each day this exposure to chemicals in shower water continually washes out and dulls hair colour and treatments.

In the UK and most developed countries, chlorine is added to water supplies to ensure that water is safe to drink and free from biological contaminants like bacteria and other microbes. Chlorine's uses extend beyond being added to water; it is also one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals and is typically used as a bleach in the manufacture of paper and cloth. The chemical, which is added to water to make it safe to drink, is the same chemical which is shortening the life and vibrancy of hair colour treatments.

The simplest way to keep hair for longer is to remove chlorine from shower water. Many already remove chlorine from drinking water by using such devices as drinking water filters. Chlorine can be removed from shower water by installing a clever compact filtering shower head. Shower Filters are like normal shower heads but with a built-in water filter cartridge. As water passes through the replaceable cartridges, they filter out 99% of chlorine and other chemicals, bacteria and lime scale.

By removing chlorine from shower water, the bleaching and solvent agent that is stripping colour treatments from hair is eliminated. Showering in pure chemical-free water is healthier and extends the life of hair treatments and colours, ending up with a more vibrant, salon-perfect look for longer.

What Do It's Customers Say:

"Just to let you know we are absolutely delighted with our filter. Easy to fit and doesn't look bulky or 'added on' in our shower. My daughter and I love it because we both have coloured hair, and the soft water actually makes the colour last longer and definitely has a conditioning effect on the hair. Added benefit is that my skin is noticeably softer and smoother after showering. I will definitely continue to use it and certainly miss it when I have to shower away from home. Many thanks for wonderful service and a brilliant product." - Gwen and Katie Branton
