I spent two years trying to fix my hair. The problem was never my hair.

For about two years, I had a problem with my hair I couldn't explain. It was falling out more than usual, enough to notice. My brush was fuller than it used to be. My ponytail felt thinner. My hair looked dull no matter what I used.
Sound familiar?
I tried everything. New shampoo, biotin supplements, silk pillowcases, a keratin treatment. I spent close to $400 in one year. Nothing made a lasting difference.
I blamed stress. Then hormones. Then "just getting older." I was 32.
"I never once thought to look at the water coming out of my shower. Turns out, that was the problem the entire time."
What's actually in your shower water
Tap water is treated with chlorine to kill bacteria — that's necessary. But chlorine doesn't stop working when it hits your hair. Every shower, it strips natural oils from your scalp, weakens the hair shaft and causes breakage over time. Heavy metals in older pipes make it worse.
Most people never make the connection — because the damage happens slowly, shower by shower. You just notice that your hair doesn't look the way it used to.
This is what your shower water leaves behind

What changed when I filtered my shower water
I started using the Drople filtered showerhead about three months ago. It replaces your existing showerhead, filters out chlorine and heavy metals before the water touches you, and takes two minutes to install. No tools needed.
Within two weeks I noticed less hair in my brush. My hair started feeling softer after washing — not because of a new product, just from cleaner water. By week four my scalp felt calmer and my hair looked shinier without changing anything else in my routine.

What people are saying
"Less hair in my brush after two weeks. I was not expecting that at all. I'd been losing so much hair for months and just assumed it was stress. This actually made a difference."
