78% Reduction in Hair Fall: Inside India’s First Clinical Study on Shower Filters

78% Reduction in Hair Fall: Inside India’s First Clinical Study on Shower Filters

Hair fall affects millions in India. You brush and see 100+ strands daily. Shampoos, oils, and salons fail. The real problem? Hard water from taps. But now, science has proof: shower filters work.

Care Dale ran India's first clinical study on shower filters. It showed 78% less hair fall in 12 weeks. This dermat-certified test used IITian-developed CareTec Ultrafiltration Technology. No other brand in India has this proof.

In cities like Bangalore and Mumbai, hard water with calcium, chlorine, and minerals clogs scalps and breaks hair. The Care Dale Municipal Water Filter fixes this at the source. Let's dive into the study, simple results, and why it changes hair care forever.

The Hair Fall Crisis in India

India's urban water is hard. TDS hits 500+ ppm in Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai. Minerals coat your scalp. Chlorine dries roots. Result? Follicles clog. Hair snaps early. Normal shed (50-100 strands) jumps to 200+.

Treatments mask it. Hard water undoes them fast. Dermatologists see this daily. Families spend ₹10,000+ yearly on fixes that don't last.

Care Dale tested a real fix: clean shower water.

Meet Care Dale: India's Pioneer

Care Dale is India's first clinically tested and dermatologist-certified tap and shower filter brand. Founders from IIT Kharagpur built CareTec Ultrafiltration Technology. It neutralizes hard water chemicals, chlorine, rust, and sediments—without KDF or harsh additives.

The filter fits all Indian showers. Installs in 2 minutes. Costs ₹1700. Replacement cartridges last 3-4 months.

This tech powered the landmark study.
