All you need is a baggie, rubber band, and white vinegar. You can get a huge container of vinegar for a great price on Amazon. Or, try Costco for cheap vinegar too. I keep a large container in our pantry and use it for lots of my household cleaning. Pour enough vinegar in a plastic bag to cover the shower head. Then, wrap the bag around the shower head securing it with the rubber band.

I've seen this solution before on the forum. It is good to see your b4 & after photos because they clearly show that the vinegar- baggie trick works so well. Thanks for the post.
