Tap water typically contains chlorine, traces of minerals and metals, as well as impurities as it travels from the water treatment plant to your tap. These agents can strip away the scalp’s natural oils, leaving brittle, coarse hair that is prone to breakage.

It is necessary to chlorinate the tap or shower water, disinfecting and killing bacteria, as water passes through the water distribution system. However, chlorine and other contaminants should be removed from our shower water as they cause undesirable effects on our hair and skin.

Natural melanin in your hair reacts with these contaminants and it can change your hair colour. Your skin might be irritated, leading to itchiness, rashes or eczema. Also, the treated but unfiltered shower water is counteracting the benefits of your hair and skin care products.

To mitigate the undesirable effects of unfiltered shower water and tap water, there are several water filtration systems and media available in the market that target the removal of chlorine, rust, sediments, or other impurities. Popular filter elements include activated carbon, KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion), polypropylene (PP) cotton, Vitamin C, Calcium Sulfite, etc., and they can work together to effectively remove some or majority of the contaminants from the water. It is important to note that not all filtration systems are created equal. Some systems may only remove a few contaminants, while others may remove a wider range of impurities.

At Raise, we understand the importance of clean water for healthy hair and skin. That is why we created the Raise Filtered Showerhead with KDF-55, Calcium Sulfite, and PP cotton filter elements. These filter elements work together to effectively remove chlorine, rust, traces of heavy metals, and sediments from your shower water. Our filtered showerhead is easy to install and can be used with any standard shower fitting.

Give it a try and see the difference it can make for your hair and skin!
