A few months ago, I noticed a different smell in the water every time I turned on the tap. I finally realized that chlorine had been introduced into the water as the main cleanser. It seemed very strange to me that such a harsh chemical would be used in water, but I didn’t really give it another thought. Then I read that the Paul Mitchell Schools are teaming up with LifeSource Water Filter Systems in an effort to minimize the damaging effects of such a change.

According to a press release last week, Paul Mitchell Schools says that chlorinated water makes it difficult to color hair, damages skin, and even speeds up the aging process. Who wants that?!

Paul Mitchell will now use the filter systems, beginning in two of their campuses, in an effort to reduce the amount of chlorinated water they use. This change comes after Paul DeJoria, founder of Paul Mitchell Schools, realized the benefits of using the water filter system in his schools – he had been using LifeSource in his house for 18 years now. It only made sense to transition the switch to his business for a more effective education for his beauty students and better salon treatments. Now, Paul Mitchell Schools students will reap the benefits and see great results in all their hard work.

And this is not the first beauty school that decided to do this. In 2006, Federico Beauty College began the same initiative.
