While you can switch your shower gel if it’s irritating, or swap your cleanser if you break out, changing the quality of your water is far more complicated. But it doesn’t have to be when you use Hello Klean’s filtered shower heads.
Particularly useful in areas of hard water like London, the best filtered shower heads use mineral-based filtration systems. Removing chlorine, metals and other impurities that can irritate skin, dry it out and leave hair feeling weak and lacklustre, these accessories have come a long way in the last few years.
Not only is their appearance sleeker, but some models can improve water pressure. Hello Klean is the gold standard when it comes to such devices, and it’s easy to see why. The brand’s shower head+ filters heavy metals linked to hair breakage, buildup, discolouration, and barrier stress, along with reducing chlorine that dries hair and irritates the skin and scalp.
You may have spotted Hello Klean on Dragons’ Den back in 2023, when the founders secured a £100,000 investment from Steven Bartlett. Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength, with its products helping to improve skin and hair for users. The range includes tools, body care and hair care designed to tackle hard water, so that by the time it reaches your skin and strands, it’s a whole lot softer.
When beauty expert Maisie Bovingdon reviewed the shower head+ for The Standard, she called it one of “the most high-tech, innovative pieces of kit” she has ever seen. Here’s everything you need to know.

Hello Klean shower head+
★★★★★
What we love: Aesthetically pleasing, easy to install and compatible with an iOS app that notifies users on temperature and refills
Take note: Pricey, with a limited selection of colours available, and the water pressure is not adjustable
“Using a three-stage filtration with CRS and ADMS to remove limescale, metals and chlorine from the water, this smart design features a built-in intelligence system that analyses my shower habits,” Maisie explained.
The shower filter is packed with smart but thoughtful features. “I love piping hot showers, but the app made me realise the temperature was too high – and the danger of scorching showers to hair and skin health,” Maisie added.
“The app also tracks real water usage, the duration of the shower, skin health, carbon emissions, optimal time, the metals filtered, as well as the filter life and when to change it. Aside from the app, the shower head features a SmartHeat™ light that lights up when temperatures reach over 42°C, as well as a SmartRefill™ light to alert users to replace their filter.”
Despite the initial expense, the subscription offer helps you save some pennies, too.
