If you're a fan of a power-shower type of experience, you'll want to pick a shower head that increases the water pressure running through it. This is often achieved by having a smaller number of holes, or nozzles, for the water to pass through resulting in a more powerful focused stream.

More often than not, these shower heads are adjustable and allow you to vary the pressure and spray between a narrower, high-pressure, stream and one that covers a wider area. It's worth noting, however, that while a shower head can improve your water pressure while having a shower, it can't work miracles and turn a trickle into a power washer!

For those that prefer a lower-pressure, rain like experience, a large shower head or rain shower is the way to go. These are easily spotted by their size and give wide body coverage meaning that you don't have to step in and out of the stream to wash different parts of your body.

These are a great choice for those who use their shower time to relax and wind down rather than to simply clean, and can be an affordable way to add a little spa-like comfort into your home. If you already struggle with your shower pressure, however, this type if head is probably one to avoid.

If you live in a hard water area, you may want to consider a shower head with a filter in order to have a softer shower. This has a number of benefits, especially for those who have dry or frizzy hair and don't want to shampoo too often. Similarly, those with dry skin can benefit from softer water.

Many heads use ionic filters that use mineral balls to soften and purify hard water. As well as the benefits to your person, filters can help prevent limescale build up and reduce chlorine levels in water. You can always add a water filter, even if your favourite shower head doesn't come with one! 

On average, eco-friendly shower heads reduce water flow up to an average of 40%, which can make a huge difference for the environment and your water bills. Whether you choose an electric or a power shower, it's easy to save water and they will give you just as good a shower experience as any normal shower head. 

Consider other eco-friendly options for your home from cleaning products to laundry detergent. 

Choosing the right material can make all the difference when thinking of your bathroom décor. Metal heads, like chrome, brass, or stainless steel look great and are easy to clean. Although all shower heads require a clean on occasion, some materials may require less upkeep than others, such as plastic which is a cheap option that won't rust.

Another element that will make maintenance easier is a silicone or rubber ring around the nozzle area of the shower, which will absorb shocks and make the shower head less brittle in case you accidentally drop it or bash it against something.
