Why the Water You Shower With Might Be Affecting Your Hair – and What You Can Do About It

When it comes to achieving strong, healthy hair, most people focus on what products they’re using - and while that’s important, there’s something even more foundational that often gets overlooked: your water.

I’m so excited to now offer Well Verti shower filters at my salon, because I’ve personally experienced the difference at home. Installing one in my own shower was like stepping into a resort every morning - the water felt softer, my skin was calmer, and my hair responded beautifully.

Here’s why switching to filtered water could be the best thing you do for your hair - plus three simple, low-tox swaps that can boost your hair health at home.

💧Why Filter Your Shower Water?

Most of us are showering in water that contains chlorine, heavy metals, and other chemicals used to treat the water supply. These compounds can:

• Strip moisture from your hair and skin

• Lead to frizz, dryness, or scalp irritation

• Fade salon hair colour faster

• Disrupt your scalp’s natural balance

Installing a Well Verti shower filter helps reduce those unwanted extras, giving you water that’s gentler on your hair, skin, and overall health.

After using one at home for the past few months, I can honestly say my showers feel like a self-care ritual. The water smells fresher, feels softer, and has noticeably improved how my hair feels post-wash.

🌿3 Small Haircare Swaps That Make a Big Difference

1. Install a Filtered Showerhead

This is hands down one of the easiest, most powerful changes you can make. If your hair feels like it’s plateaued or never quite feels clean or hydrated, your water may be the missing piece. Filtered water = happier hair and calmer skin.

2. Simplify Your Haircare Products

Switch to low-tox products that are free from sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. Harsh ingredients can build up on your scalp or react with minerals in your water, causing dryness or irritation.

3. Treat your Hair Like Skin

We’re careful with what we put on our face - our scalp deserves that same love. Incorporate scalp massages, weekly rosemary oil rituals, and give your roots the nourishment they need to thrive.

Partnering with Well Verti felt like a natural fit because it aligns with my passion for clean beauty, low-tox living, and haircare that supports your whole body, not just your strands.

You don’t need to overhaul your whole routine overnight. Just a few intentional swaps can transform your hair health, protect your skin, and reduce your body’s exposure to chemicals over time. And that’s a change worth making.
