Are you a shower only rinser or do you rinse in the sink? I got a new massaging shower head for Christmas and it is installed in my shower. I was just wondering how effective you feel rinsing your hair under the sink tap is? And also, are you achieving length as obviously as thickness> Thankyou. Bonjour. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Girl, Detachable shower heads are wonderfuyl aren't they? They make rinsing your hair SO much easier, than having to be a point ballerina and twirl around hoping you get all the (back in the day) shampoo out.
I can't rinse in the sink, I've always rinsed my hair in the shower, when I shower. Um, in 01 (I think) I really got a lot of length plus thickness. I wasn't picture taking back then but when stretched it was longer than I was used to. Because I don't flat iron my hair, my hair getting "big" is an indication of length to me. I really wish I had blow dried it back then though because then I could have REALLy seen, but such is life (sigh,lol). But I don't measure my hair, and didn't then, so I can't say how quicky it was growing, but it *seemed* at the time to be growing fast.
I think the key is really just making sure the hair is moisturized, which prevents dryness, which in turn (hopefully) will prevent any breakage. I think my hair was so happy to be finally getting moisture that it really thrived and I notice a dramatic change from the shape that it was in before.
Now I am at peg 1 just because I got some highlights, and got lazy.....with the moisture. So I think if you rinse under tap, you should be fine, but above all, even if you can't rinse daily, if you moisturize daily, you should be fine.
