Ladies do you use a showerfilter?

[mj11051]

I do and find the my hair and body are a lot softer for it.

 

[iNicola]

Yes. I installed one about 2 months ago and I can tell the difference in hair and body. My skin used to itch if I stayed in the shower too long, not anymore. My skin is also less dry so I don't have to apply body lotion and my hair is softer.

Bumping for more answers

 

[yodie]

Yes, I picked up an inexpensive one from Home Depot about six months ago. My skin isn't nearly as dry as it used to be.

i've been too cheap to buy a replacement filter but i have the jonathan brand and i swear by it. hair & skin in better condition and less soap residue in the shower making cleaning easier. the cost-effective version is aquasana (they make the jonathan) http://www.aquasanastore.com/aq-shower-filter.html

I got this one for Lowe's and I really love it:

And the replacement filters are only 10.00

Thank you! I was searching their site for one and couldn't find one... I haven't clicked yet. Are they hard to install?

No they aren't, my hubby installed it in 10 minutes and it well worth it.

I have the sprite filter with attatched showerhead. I'm so spoiled by it now that I don't remember what my hair and skin felt like without it.

 

[FindingMe]

Yep, i got the showerhead filter and my hair and skin has been much softer. I also notice the clear glass shower doors don't get as cloudy/filmy. I've had it for a couple of weeks and i've had to re-try all of my products since i got it.

Some things that didn't work at all before are working SO well now I am amazed (mostly my shampoo bars and no sulfate shampoos, like DevaCare, ABBA, etc.) Before they were leaving like a film on my hair and now, it's just feels soft and moisturized after use. I guess the minerals and chlorine, etc in the water were interfering with the products abilities...

I installed mine in about 15 min. I had the removable shower head and all i did was screw off the old, put some plumbers tape around the new one and screwed my new one on. I didn't even have to change the shower head holder bc it's almost kinda universal.

 

[LushLox]

Yes. For something that is relatively inexpensive it's very much worth it if you live in a hard water area. My skin is so smooth, and I finally have that coveted 'dewy' look in my face!

I think that is the shame one I have.

 

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

Aww man , I don't know.
I purchased a "rain" tpe showerhead over a year ago... I'm spoiled with it... DH likes it too... is there a hybrid or attachment

 

[longhairlover]

I think I need one, nj's water is not like nyc water, I never use to have problems with my hair until coming to nj, I know others that have the same issue, since you ladies have good reviews on water filters in the showers then I must give one a try.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

I have the sprite Shower filter.... Love it. I figured that I did not need to buy something more pricey. it is 20 bucks. The 1st one I bought died after a few months. So - Just headed to Lowe's and bought another.... I time them about 6 months....

I don't waste time with filters. I just buy new ones....

After being in missouri - and having to shampoo there.... Oh boy - I know the difference...

 

[LightEyedMami]

I have the sprite filter with attatched showerhead. I'm so spoiled by it now that I don't remember what my hair and skin felt like without it.

I have this one too, it is great i got it from Home Depot for $30 something bucks about 4-5 months ago i should go qand get a replacement filter soon. You really can tell the difference,and its like its Softer on my skin and hair with the filter.

I have a Sprite filter also. I installed it the day after my BC and I LOVE it!! I wanted to give my new natural curlies the very best I could give. My hair feels soft, but since I'm working with my natural texture, this just may be due to my products (I use Giovanni and Aubrey Organics) and/or because my natural hair just feels so much better than my transitioning hair.

I will say this though, my skin feels wonderful! There is definitely a noticeable difference in how soft it is now compared to before I had my filter. It was a WONDERFUL investment! I highly recommend it to anyone who has hard water. I live in AZ where the water is TERRIBLE!! Now, I couldn't imagine taking a shower without it .

 

[spritex]

Yes I have a shower head filter. One of the best decisions I ever made. In my area of England the water is hard with lots of limescale, since I got the filter my skin and hair are much softer.

 

[n_vizion]

Quick question for you ladies who live in areas of hard water. Do the filters just get rid of the chlorine or do they also help with the minerals?

 

[adw425]

I bought mine over a year and a half ago and it has been a great investment.

 

[MummysGirl]

No, not yet. Really should get one. Someone shared a link for where I can get one in the UK earlier this year and I've forgotten. I might have subscribed to that thread actually...

Thanks for this thread, a much needed reminder.
