The Science Behind Hard Water

Hard water, while generally considered to be harmless, can have a significant negative impact on your skin and hair care. Hard water is water that contains high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, which are known to leave deposits in the home and on the body known as limescale (your tap water can also contain chlorine, which, while safe and effective at disinfecting your water, can have some not-so-great effects on your body). Regarding skin care, these factors can cause undesirable effects such as dryness, irritation, clogged pores, and premature aging. When it comes to hair, it can induce frizz, dullness, lifelessness, discoloration, and breakage. In essence, it strongly contributes to brittle, dead hair. Yikes.

The formation of limescale is a direct result of hard water usage in the home and can be found anywhere you might have running water. It’s all those little white spots in your kitchen sink, glassware, and shower or tub walls. It generally forms in three simple steps: 

1. Mineral Dissolution:Hard water flows through pipes and fixtures, like showerheads or faucets, and carries the previously mentioned dissolved minerals with it.

2. Deposition:As hard water flows over surfaces like tiles, glass, and faucets, it leaves behind small traces of these minerals.

3. Accumulation:Over time, these mineral deposits accumulate, forming a chalky, white substance known as limescale.

The Hidden Dangers of Limescale

This same process can be present in your body (gasp!), and as you can imagine, it’s no good for the radiant routines you work so hard to maintain. It can also be heavily detrimental to plumbing fixtures like your toilet, faucets, sinks, and showerheads. Limescale buildup can become so severe that it can cause clogged showerheads and faucets, resulting in reduced water flow and pressure and, eventually, greater mineral output in your day-to-day usage. As mentioned before, it can also significantly reduce the effectiveness of your self-care regimens, from moisturization to volume to color to overall hair and skin health. Enter Jolie.

Benefits of Showerhead Filters

Everyone has seen a Brita pitcher at some point in their lives. Whether your parents insisted on it or you saw one at a friend’s house during hot summer days in childhood, they were always around. They are incredibly effective at cleaning up and enhancing the taste of your drinking water but frustratingly inconvenient to refill constantly. The Jolie Filtered Showerhead works on the same basic principle as the Brita pitcher, but its filters are far more robust and more effective at cleaning your bathing water. This is due to its unique and beefed-up blend of copper, zinc, and calcium sulfate, unlike a traditional carbon filter. The result is water so pure that you could use it on a newborn. 

Legend has it that the River Styx actually flowed from a Jolie Filtered Showerhead and made Achilles’ skin completely impervious (except for that pesky ankle part, but we digress).

How to Choose the Right Filtered Showerhead

There are several highly-rated shower filters on the market, but none quite fit the moniker of the “total package” as well as the Jolie Showerhead. Already love your shower’s current flow rate and water pressure? Use a Jolie to take it to the next level! Our showerhead is guaranteed to maximize your flow rate and water pressure while making your water as pure as a glacier. 

As we mentioned before, there are also a handful of different filtration media types, the most common of which is a carbon filter (like in a Brita). The Jolie Showerhead uses a blend of copper, zinc, and calcium sulfate particles to filter your water even more efficiently than a Brita.
