The Independent, IndyBest guide to the best shower filters, 2025
Selected by The Independent's shopping team after testing multiple shower-filter brands.
"These in-shower hard-water filters could make a difference to your hair health."
– The Independent
"After washing my hair just once, it felt smoother, silkier and shinier."
– Louise Whitbread
During testing, Louise Whitbread reported that her hair felt smoother, silkier and shinier after a single wash, and described a clear improvement in dryness and frizz over two weeks. She linked the results to the vitamin-C gel filter – which also contains glycerin – reducing the residual chlorine left on hair washed in hard water. Read the current guide at independent.co.uk.

"Often when I shoot beauty and hair campaigns, I do the final rinse with bottled water. Since using PICKI NIKI, not anymore."

"Consumers are increasingly investing in premium hair and skincare products yet often overlook the quality of the water used every day."
Stefan Scholz
Hairdresser, Berlin
"As a hairdresser, I look for long-term results rather than instant impressions. One of my long-term clients noticed softer-feeling hair and no visible green tint after using PICKI NIKI. I would happily recommend it."

Highly recommended!
I live in a very hard water area of London and have noticed my hair and skin suffering from dryness and dullness, regardless of the quality of products I used. I filter my drinking water, so why not my shower water too? Picki Niki's showerhead is beautifully designed to feel compact and lightweight to hold. It enhances water pressure, and the lovely citrus fragrance adds a subtle touch that makes every shower feel like a spa experience!
Filtered shower head with Vitamin C
I am extremely happy with the results of using this shower head, it completely exceeded my expectations. After only a couple of weeks of usage my skin is much softer and my hair is very shiny and soft. I bought this product because I live in London and the water is hard and my hair was dry and dull. I would 100% recommend. The delivery was also seamless.
Great shower
I bought the shower head after a bit of research and it's been great. I'm based in the UK and it has improved the pressure from the electric shower. Additionally the filter provides a higher quality water, noticeable on hair and skin, and straight away you can tell the shower glass doors are much less streaky and easier to clean.

After much research, I purchased this shower head with 2 integrated filters. I was expecting greatly reduced water pressure and modest reduction in hard water deposits on my shower and hair. The Picki Niki shower head with the handle filter and gel filter IMPROVED my water pressure with a wonderfully soft, but powerful stream of clean, softened water. My hair feels softer and I notice decreased hard water deposits on my shower pan. I LOVE IT and will absolutely repurchase!!
product accurate in detail, very intuitive and functional I was also looking for the shower head
My skin is much less dry after the shower. I will continue to use it to see the difference in my hair and skin. But it's already a good start
Got this for my wife and she absolutely loved it and i must admit : me too!
And the customer service is great too. The first one broke and pickiniki offered to replace it..
It took a while, but it was worth it, thanks a lot.
Can't imagine reverting back to a normal showerhead anytime
Do not hesitate, its like a daily head massage and smells awesome on top of being great for my wifes hair (and accessory mine as well) 😅
Hello,
While I'm happy with the product itself, I'm equally dissatisfied with the general return procedure. At a price of 99€, I would have expected a smoother process. I also have to pay the return costs myself, which doesn't exactly make for a positive customer experience.
