What is the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0?
If you're keen to discover one of the best filter shower heads, you may want to consider the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0. This contemporary shower head has been gaining traction on social media platforms, such as TikTok, as it claims to reduce the impurities that can cause hard water, which can lead to skin irritation, and dry, dull hair.
The shower head claims to remove 90 per cent of chlorine and heavy metals, and in a consumer perception trial carried out by Hello Klean in 2024, 88 per cent of users noticed softer skin and hair within one month. Keen to give it a go, I tried out this shower head that has a two-step circular filtration system built into its convenient design. This meant that it was easy to screw onto my existing shower hose.
In this review, I've rated the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 on design and convenience, as well as noting down any positive results on my hair and skin that appeared from a few weeks of use. Paired with an electric toothbrush, IPL hair removal and a hair dryer, I think it might just be the ideal way to upgrade your daily beauty routine.
How we test shower heads
Having seen how popular this contemporary looking filter shower head is online, I jumped at the chance to give it a try. I live in a hard water area and have found myself constantly striving to find a shampoo that could tame my unruly, dry hair. It wasn't until I read about the benefits of the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 that I considered that it might not be a good shampoo that I needed for smooth, silky locks, but a good filter to clean my shower water.
So, I installed the shower head onto my existing shower hose and over the course of a month, I assessed how it made my hair look and feel. I monitored the flow rate, water pressure, spray and distribution, noting how easy it was to clean and how simple it was to change the filter.

Flow rate: 9/10
An average shower head has a flow rate of about 10 to 15 litres of water per minute, while water-saving designs can reduce the flow rate to around 6 to 10 litres a minute. Hello Klean states this is one of its pros, saving water with a flow rate of around 6 litres per minute.
To test this myself at home I placed a large measuring jug underneath the shower head, turned the shower on full blast and let it run for 10 seconds. I measured how much water had been collected in the jug and multiplied this by six to calculate the flow rate per minute. I measured 1.1 litres of water for 10 seconds, so I calculated the flow rate to be 6.6 litres per minute, which is near to Hello Klean's claim of 6 litres per minute.
Water pressure: 9/10
While a shower head with a low flow rate can be great for saving water, the best designs shouldn't come at the cost of good water pressure. This can, of course, differ from home to home. Having tried the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 myself, I found the spray satisfyingly invigorating. Hello Klean claims that the Shower Head 2.0 can save 25 per cent more water with each use and boost water pressure by up to two times. I didn't find this shower to be the most powerful I've ever tried, but it seemed to deliver water effectively.
Without lab-grade equipment to hand, Hello Klean suggested I do a simple visual test to check the water pressure of my shower. This involved turning it on at full capacity and checking to see that the spray extended at least three feet from the shower head before dropping pressure. As you can see in my video, the shower sprayed confidently across my compact space indicating good water pressure and I have been pleased with the spray every time I washed.
Spray pattern and distribution: 8/10
The number of spray patterns a shower head offers on top of the standard full water spray varies from brand to brand. Some designs have extra jet sprays for a dedicated massaging water stream, and eco sprays to help save water. Meanwhile, separate inner ring and outer ring sprays add to the various water spray options when showering.
Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 offers just one standard spray on its handheld shower head but I found it provided good water coverage across my body. The water seemed evenly distributed, with an invigorating spray that felt reasonably powerful. I could feel a lightness in the water – perhaps due to the combination of the filter cleaning the water and the design of the water holes – and it felt good against my skin.
There is an outer ring of holes on the shower head that doesn't project any water, and when I quizzed Hello Klean as to why they told me that this was an intentional design feature. It serves to maintain a consistent pressure across the inner holes and make the shower appear more aesthetically balanced, which I think it does.
Design and aesthetics: 9/10
With its fuss-free contemporary design, I think this shower head does well to upgrade the look of any worn looking bathroom. It comes in a choice of colourways including beige, black and chrome. The handle of the shower is smooth and I found it comfortable to hold. While I think the surface material on the handle could offer a little more grip, I do admire the clean and refreshing minimalist design of the handle and its headpiece.
The beauty of this shower head is that the filters are neatly fitted inside the casing. Hello Klean suggests replacing them every three months, which is something to bear in mind when you're thinking about cost. I found the recyclable cartridges easy to fit inside the shower head by simply rotating the headpiece and unscrewing the handle.
It's important to note that while this shower head is designed to minimise elements like iron, copper, lead, and chlorine, and reduce the harsh effects of hard water, it can't remove limescale and calcium in water. For that you'd need a separate whole-house water softener.
Replacement filters available: £31.50, Hello Klean
Ease of cleaning: 9/10
Having tested this shower head for around a month, it's hard to say at this stage whether the limescale in my hard water area will clog it or clean away easily. But I think that the minimalist styling makes it easy to clean in general.
Some shower heads have water holes in the headpiece that protrude a little, making them harder to clean as limescale can collect around them over time. The water holes on this one are flush with the headpiece, however, so I think it will make it harder for limescale to build up.
There are no fiddly parts or awkward sections of the shower head that make it hard to clean and the beige, black and chrome finishes it comes in give it a good head start in terms of looking box-fresh and stylish.
Technical specifications
Keen to weigh up my options in terms of design, performance and price, I discovered the similarly styled Showery Halo Filtered Showerhead online and have compared it to the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 design below. Both are water saving and designed to reduce hard water-causing impurities, but one of the key differences is that the Showery comes with a brush and sponge as part of the design.
Telegraph verdict: 9/10
I've read feedback online that the Hello Klean Shower Head 2.0 is a product you never knew you needed until you give it a try and having tested it for a month, I agree. I have noticed a positive shift in the overall feel of my hair in particular. It feels softer and less unruly than before and is smoother in appearance.
Hard water can hinder shampoo lathering due to the extra minerals in the water, but while using this shower head I noticed my shampoo lathering up more effectively. I use a sulphate-free shampoo that doesn't tend to lather up too much anyhow, so the extra lather made me feel like the shampoo was cleaning my hair more effectively.
Overall, I think that while this shower head doesn't offer the most powerful shower spray I've ever come across, it is comfortable to use, attractive and offers a convenient way to improve the water quality in your shower system. Price-wise, I think it's great value too, although you will also have to factor in the cost for the extra filters every few months.
FAQs
Does the Hello Klean Shower Head remove hard water minerals?
Hello Klean claims to remove over 90 per cent of chlorine and heavy metals such as copper, iron and lead from tap water. It can't, however, remove limescale or calcium, so if you live in a particularly hard water area, you will still need a separate water softener to tackle those.
Can the Hello Klean Shower Head improve skin and hair health?
This shower head has the potential to improve skin and hair health by minimising hair dryness and skin irritation.
Is the Hello Klean Shower Head easy to install?
I was able to take this shower head out of the box and screw it onto my existing shower hose in under a minute. To change the filter cartridges you simply unscrew the headpiece and handle.

American woman sparks heated debate about the 'correct' way to eat after revealing how Europeans hold utensils
An American woman has sparked a heated debate about the 'correct' way to eat after she showcased how Europeans hold their utensils. Amy Gordy, from South Carolina, recently shared a video of herself trying to use silverware the 'European way' on TikTok. In the European style of dining, the fork is typically held in the left hand and the knife is held in the right hand for the entire meal. The knife is used for assisting in moving the food onto the fork, and the prongs of the fork usually face down. Americans, on the other hand, usually only use the knife while cutting then put it down and switch the fork to their right hand, with the prongs facing upwards. In the clip, Amy clearly struggled as she attempted to use the method while eating a grain bowl with steak and eggs. 'I don't even know how to do this. What do I do? So I don't put this down, right? I'm keeping this in my hand,' she said, referring to the knife. Her husband then interjected, 'I'm talking to you right now and you're holding both [utensils]? That's insane. I don't get it. In America, that's considered rude.' 'I'm confused as to how I use my knife with my [right] hand,' she continued. 'Do you scoop things on the back of the fork? I am really struggling. I'm really trying you guys.' 'It doesn't make sense, there's no way that's right,' her husband added. Amy's clip got over 2.6 million views and it launched a massive argument about how cutlery should be held during meals. Hoards of Europeans rushed to the comment section, insisting the way they eat is actually 'proper etiquette' and roasting Americans over their style. 'It's not the "European Way," it's THE CORRECT WAY,' one user scathed. 'Scottish here. Absolutely baffled [as to] why you're struggling to use a knife and fork,' added another. 'It's not insane it's the correct etiquette,' insisted someone else. 'It's the correct way. Americans are just one step up from eating with their hands,' joked a different user. 'This is mind blowing. It's like watching something from the Middle Ages,' read a fifth comment. A sixth simply said, 'This is painful.' 'Are you all OK in America?' asked another person. Others defended Amy. One person wrote, 'Guys relax. It's almost like different countries and cultures have different norms and standards of etiquette. 'If you've developed the fine motor skill to do something a certain way for your entire life, doing it a different way will feel unnatural.' 'Geez this comment section is so judgmental. The idea that Americans have a separate culture and therefore do things differently is so upsetting for some of you,' said someone else. 'Etiquette is different everywhere you go!' 'Guys America does suck I agree with you but damn different places do things differently leave us alone,' another user commented. 'It's interesting to me how people think cultural etiquette is right or wrong. Ever country has its own etiquette/practices,' penned a different viewer. It comes after an American woman living in the countryside in Wales lifted a lid on the shocking realities of residing in the UK exclusively with the Daily Mail. Hoards of Europeans rushed to the comment section, insisting the way they eat is actually 'proper etiquette' and roasting Americans over their style Jessica Hanson, 42, originally from Miami, Florida, purchased a house in a small village in Wales called Conwy in 2023 with her husband. She was excited to move to the quaint town, but soon after settling in, she quickly realized that life there was very different from life in America. From sky-high prices and terrible weather to unfriendly neighbors and strict rules, Hanson admitted to the Daily Mail there were a lot of downsides to residing in the UK that took her by surprise. Living in such a small village also meant there weren't a lot of food options, stores and restaurants closed super early, and things like Uber and DoorDash were non-existent there. It was a shocking adjustment for the Florida-native, who admitted it feels a little too 'dystopian' for her liking. She also slammed the immensely high cost of energy and gas - as well as the constant bleak weather. Jessica also claimed that the people are not nearly as outgoing in the UK as they are in the US. She added that there's a slew of bizarre 'rules' and 'expectations' in place that are hard for her to adjust to. 'The nanny state mentality creeps me out. They lowered the speeding limit in my entire county to 20 mph recently. That is bananas to me,' Jessica revealed. 'It feels a little dystopian. CCTV and speed cameras are omnipresent. 50 mph [speed limit] on the freeway. Why? 'In general, British freedom feels, to me, like a polite prison where there are rules for everything, forms for every exception, and you're expected to say thank you for the privilege.'

I'm a mum & don't own a bin – I think piling up rubbish is gross but I'm not alone, it's a telltale sign you're council
THERE'S nothing worse than an overflowing bin that you can smell as soon as you walk into the house. And that's exactly why Gem has always used a bag instead of a bin. 2 2 In fact, despite having her own home, she still doesn't even own a bin - and says the lack of one in a house is a telltale sign she's "council". "I've just seen a post that said, 'Are you even council if you haven't got a bag hanging on the door instead of a bin?'" she began her video on TikTok. "Now, I am council and I do not own a bin! We don't have a bin. We have a bag. "We don't have a bin - I don't like them. And I don't know if it's a council thing. "I just don't like bins. "I've said it before but no, the rubbish goes outside... you don't have the rubbish indoors!" Gem's daughter Rose was even left giggling when she saw the previous video about being "council" for having no bin, and said: "That's mummy, isn't it!" "Are you even council if you don't have a carrier bag on a door instead of a bin?" Gem wrote over the top of her video. And she quickly found that she wasn't alone in her thoughts about where to put rubbish. "I moved out of my parents 14 years ago and I have never owned a bin," one wrote. "Straight into a 30p carrier then goes outside!" "No bin in my house, they always get in the way and stink," another said. "I spent years using a plastic bag but I found a small bin that hangs over the kitchen cupboard door now!" "Currently sat here with a blue bag hanging off my door handle," a third laughed, as someone else joked "I've found my people!" "Same!!!!! People think its odd we don't have a bin indoors," another added. "I'm not council but I've NEVER had a bin! Into a bag then straight to the outside bin every night!!" someone else insisted. What is a hack for making changing the bin easier? THERE is in fact a way to make your rubbish-collecting chores far simpler - and it involves using multiple bags. Want in on the time-saving trick? Here's what you need to do. Step 1 Take out a fresh bin liner and open it up - but don't put it in your bin yet. Step 2 Take a second bin bag, place it inside the first bag and open it up - so that they're nestled inside each other. Continue to do this until 10 bags are neatly inside. Step 3 Carefully place the entire bin bag fusion inside your bin before folding the tops over the lip. The next time you fill a bag, simply lift it up out of the bin and another one will be good to go straight away. There you go! You'll never change your bin in the same way again. "Grew up council, not council now but still do this," another wrote. "Bag for me! I'm council and I hate bins," someone else said. "Hate the smell, hate the dirtiness, hate the germs and hate emptying when the bags over full. "I fill a bag and throw away or it goes straight out to the bins to right." "I don't have a bin in my kitchen," another wrote. "You can take the girl out the council but you can't take the council out the GIRL!" "Whatttt! I did not realise this was lower class stuff!" someone else laughed. However, others were more on the side of bins, with one admitting they have "three bins AND the bag". "If I'm paying 30p a carrier then I'm using the way I want too," one said. "Bin all the way!" "I have to walk down 3 flights of stairs, cross the main road, walk down a little bit, unlock a door on the main road, go down a shady little alley, put my rubbish in my bin & make my merry way home," another said. "I'd be doing this hourly if I didn't have a bin!" "I'm council but I've always had a bin," a third insisted.

Dog owner with six pets shares 10 things every owner needs - and one is 'lifesaver'
From grooming products to items that will make your home cleaner, these are the essentials every pet parent needs. An American dog lover with a pack of six has shared her top ten must-haves for fellow canine carers. Owning a pet, particularly a dog, requires dedication and thoughtfulness to ensure they lead a happy life, encompassing everything from basic needs like sustenance to enrichment items such as playthings. Regular walks are part of the routine for many dog owners to ensure their furry friends get the exercise they need. Typically, dog owners equip themselves with essentials like leads and collars to maintain control over their pets in public spaces, including parks. It's common for them to also invest in food and water dishes, comfortable bedding, and grooming necessities like shampoos, clippers, and brushes. Tracy Fosterling from Jacksonville, Florida, not only has six dogs and two cats but also champions dog fostering. She's an avid "rescue advocate" and utilises social media platforms to document her experiences as a foster dog mother, inspiring others to take up fostering, reports the Express. In a bid to assist other dog parents, she uploaded a TikTok video stating: "Here are the ten things that every dog parent needs, let's go. And this is coming from someone who has six dogs. I use all of these things, none of it is sponsored, they're just lifesavers." 1. Mudbuster Tracy mentioned that it "cleans up perfectly." The product description on Amazon reveals that the Mudbuster uses soft silicone bristles to effectively cleanse dirt and mud from a dog's paws. 2. K.O.E cleaner "It's amazing and this bottle will last forever." K.O.E., which stands for Kennel Odor Eliminator, is designed to eliminate smells from cages, kennels, floors, tables, walls and other large areas. 3. Good de-shedder She commented: "It's amazing. I swipe it through my dogs once and a huge clump of hair comes out." The foster dog mum revealed that she tries to brush her dogs with this product every day. 4. Dental water additive The additive aids in reducing plaque and giving dogs fresher breath. It serves as an easy method to enhance dogs' oral hygiene. 5. Slow feeders "I absolutely love slow feeders." Slow feeders make it more challenging for dogs to get their food, providing enrichment. 6. Air purifiers Tracy disclosed that she has air purifiers in her bedroom and all the main areas of her house. Air purifiers clean and filter the air in a room by removing airborne particles, pollutants and allergens. 7. Snout Soother "This is for dry skin on dogs, on their nose, on their feet." The dog parent said she applies Snout Soother on areas of her dogs that are dry or red, and it "works really well." 8. Handheld vacuum She described it as a "lifesaver" as she uses it constantly. Handheld vacuums are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. 9. Mr. Sticky "You just clean it with water and roll it and obviously, I used mine recently and it's full." The Mr. Sticky rollers can be utilised to remove pet hair from surfaces, like walls and floors. 10. Patience It's crucial to exercise patience when training a dog and managing their behaviour. This not only builds trust but also fosters positive relationships between dogs and their owners.
