Maintain Salon Perfect Colour In Hair For Longer With A Shower Filter

It's a given these days - a hair cut and colour is going to cost a lot of money. Forget about the cut itself, just getting a full head of highlights starts at £133, but depending upon the amount of hair you have and how thick it is, it may cost you more. Added to this the cost of a cut itself can be a staggering £65. So before you have even sat down on that plush salon seat and had your complimentary glass of Chardonnay - you've already spent nearly £200. So why is it that after spending all that money, we go ahead and start bleaching out our colour and treatments as soon as we have our first shower? Then continue to wash out and dull our colours every day from then onwards?

In the UK and most developed countries, Chlorine is added to our water supplies to ensure that our water is safe to drink and free from biological contaminants like bacteria and other microbes. Drinking water aside, Chlorine is one of the most commonly manufactured chemicals and its most important use is as a bleach in the manufacture of paper and cloth. So the same chemical which is put into our water to make it safe to drink - is the same chemical which is causing for our expensive colour treatments to wash out of our hair every day.

The simplest and easiest way to keep our hair treatments vibrant and salon perfect for longer is to get rid of Chlorine from our showers. Many of us already get rid of chlorine from our drinking water, because we filter it before we drink it. We can all do the same in our showers as well by installing a nifty little filtering shower head. Shower Filters are just like normal shower heads but with a built in water filter cartridge. The replaceable cartridges last up to 12 months and filter out 99% of Chlorine and also filter out other chemicals and lime scale.

By removing Chlorine from our shower water we are removing a bleaching and solvent agent that is stripping the colour treatments from our hair. Showering in pure chemical free water will make treatments and colour last longer and that will end up saving us lots of pounds, ensuring that the money we spend on colour treatments isn't washing down the shower drain.
