I justt thought I should tell all of you who are interested in getting a water filter to be careful on what kind you select;I think the one's for shower heads won't have this danger, but I once had a water filter (that was a filter for the whole water system) from Sears that used salt and I had more headaches with my hair than I care to remember-these types with salt are not good for your hair. Check and be certain that salt is in no way used for these filters.Holly

Can you give more details on why salt is not good for your hair? We have extremely hard well water, and softened water is MUCH better than hard water on my hair. I'm just curious why salt-operated softners would be bad on your hair because it is such a small amount of salt.

O.K., to be honest, I don't really know why except that I have read on the Louise Marie Longhair sight that she recommends NOT using this type of filter(I'm not sure if she lists reasons why or not) and when I read that I saw I wasn't the only one who doesn't like them..it made my hair very dry, and maybe this was my imagination, but my hair (which is blonde) turned slightly green-there was no chlorine in the water where I had this and no chlorine used in the filter system-but I think it really did discolor it-it didn't look as nice, either. Maybe it was just my hair's reaction to it, but a hairdresser is saying it too so I thought that I should tell everyone my experience.Hope this helps.
