Municipal water is loaded with chlorine \u2014 your skin and hair are taking a daily hit and you don&#8217;t really notice until you remove it. Enter the <strong>NUUD Filtered Shower Head<\/strong>, the chrome one that&#8217;s all over my Instagram. I bolted one on six weeks ago. It&#8217;s also currently <strong>44% off \u2014 $99 instead of $178<\/strong> \u2014 so I am writing this with some urgency.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ww-advertorial__heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NUUD-Filtered-Shower-Head-Contaminants\/dp\/B0DZ8NKS81?tag=hyphen-brit-base-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Meet the NUUD Filtered Shower Head<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"ww-advertorial__para\">It&#8217;s a shower head with a three-stage filter built in: KDF-55 (handles chlorine), calcium sulfite (handles chloramine), and activated coconut carbon (handles odors, sediment, and heavy metals like lead). NUUD claims it pulls out up to 99% of chlorine. The install takes literally five minutes \u2014 unscrew your old head, wrap a little plumber&#8217;s tape, screw the NUUD on \u2014 and the water pressure stays normal, which I want to flag because that is usually the catch with filtered heads.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ww-advertorial__product ww-advertorial__product--single_hero\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ww-advertorial__product-image\" src=\"https:\/\/livenuud.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Showerhead_PolishedChromeS_05.jpg?v=1756052414&amp;width=1600\" alt=\"NUUD Filtered Shower Head \u2014 Polished Chrome\"><div class=\"ww-advertorial__product-body\"><h3 class=\"ww-advertorial__product-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NUUD-Filtered-Shower-Head-Contaminants\/dp\/B0DZ8NKS81?tag=hyphen-brit-base-20\" data-merchant=\"Amazon\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NUUD Filtered Shower Head \u2014 Polished Chrome<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"ww-advertorial__product-price\"><span class=\"ww-advertorial__product-original-price\">$178<\/span><span class=\"ww-advertorial__product-current-price\">$99<\/span><\/div><p class=\"ww-advertorial__product-description\">Three-stage filter (KDF-55 + calcium sulfite + coconut carbon) in a high-pressure shower head.

That alone almost would have been enough \u2014 I didn&#8217;t realize how much of &#8220;that&#8217;s just what my shower smells like&#8221; was actually chlorine until it wasn&#8217;t there anymore. But the part I really did not expect: my color-treated hair has been holding its color noticeably longer between salon visits. Six weeks in, I am pretty sure I am going to be able to space out the touch-ups, which on its own is going to pay for this thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ww-advertorial__quote\">My first shower my hair was smooth &amp; soft, absorbed hair products.<cite>Verified buyer, Trustpilot<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ww-advertorial__heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NUUD-Filtered-Shower-Head-Contaminants\/dp\/B0DZ8NKS81?tag=hyphen-brit-base-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">And the pressure is still good<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"ww-advertorial__para\">This was my main worry going in. Most filtered shower heads kill the pressure \u2014 you end up with a sad trickle that takes twenty minutes to rinse conditioner. The NUUD does not do that. The rainfall mode is wide and steady, there are three other modes if you want them, and my husband (the unofficial water pressure inspector of the household) did not say anything when he used it for the first time, which is the actual gold standard.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ww-advertorial__quote\">Feels like showering in a rainforest \u2014 the wide spray covers a great area.<cite>Verified buyer, Trustpilot<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ww-advertorial__heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NUUD-Filtered-Shower-Head-Contaminants\/dp\/B0DZ8NKS81?tag=hyphen-brit-base-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A few things to know<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"ww-advertorial__para\">The filter cartridges need replacing about every 90 days, and they&#8217;re about $29 each \u2014 so factor that in. The $178 list price is real, but the current $99 (44% off) on the brand site is the actual price you can pay right now and it makes the math much easier to defend. If you&#8217;ve never used a filtered shower head and you keep finding yourself in the drugstore staring at hydrating products, this is the one to try first.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ww-advertorial__heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NUUD-Filtered-Shower-Head-Contaminants\/dp\/B0DZ8NKS81?tag=hyphen-brit-base-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bottom line<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"ww-advertorial__para\">I went in skeptical of every &#8220;viral shower head&#8221; claim and I am now the person texting friends about it. If you&#8217;ve been blaming your shampoo for dryness, frizz, or fade, your shampoo is probably innocent. The water is the problem.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ww-advertorial__methodology\">\n<h2 class=\"ww-advertorial__methodology-title\">Why trust Brit+Co<\/h2>\n<p>The Brit+Co editorial team curates each pick based on hands-on testing, expert input, and reader feedback.
