Do filters exist that are primarily for showers, as opposed to drinking water?

I read recently that when hair color fades and dulls (I am talking about fake hair color, i.e. a dye job), it’s most likely due to minerals in the water. I am wondering if hair salons use a filter on their faucets for when they wash clients’ hair. I ask this because where I live, there are so many minerals in the tap water that the tea kettle gets something that looks like dried paint on the inside bottom. If that’s going on my hair every day (and skin), I am considering filtering it out, if such a filter exists.

Yes. I highly recommend this Aquasana
One of the best features of this design is that it does not impede water flow much, which is great if you have low water pressure like I do.

The quality of my skin and hair has been uber poor since moving to Dubai, mainly due to water quality. I have a shower filter and now my hair and skin feel loads better. There are many good shower filters in the market.

Yes. There are many models available. I recently saw a bunch of them at Beauty.com or its sister-site Drugstore.com.

My parents have very hard water and they have a filter at the point where water enters the property from the mains, so all their water is filtered. Something like that might be a solution.
