*custom request* I dunk my entire head in the water for anywhere from 5-25 seconds at a time. I do this until my hair is soaking wet. I wash it twice. Dunking my head completely underwater to rinse all the soap off of my long brunette hair. I then condition my hair, brush it and then dunk my head to rinse it. Since all of the conditioner isnt out of my hair I grab my detatchable shower head and rinse my silky smooth hair. See how it shines!
