I usually wash in the shower. If I plan on sitting under my hooded dryer for a DC or plan to apply one of my mixes/concoctions, I wash in the sink so I can apply the DC or the mix and get under the dryer (or let it sit). For my final rinse, I'd hop into the shower.
I wash my hair in the shower I get better results/ it's easier to manage my hair that way. I actually tried to rinse my deep conditioner out in the sink the other day. My hair got all tangled up, when I tried untangled it I lost a lot of hair. I had to get back in the shower and rinse that mess off.
I always wash in the shower, it reduces tangles for me. I used to wash in the sink because i did not want to do multiple showers, but now that i co-wash, it is easy to jump in the shower, yaaaaaaaaa
its funny because when I was relaxed, I washed wherever was convenient..no big deal. bathroom sink or bent over the tub...but very rarely in the shower. now..that I'm natural (and even when I was transitioning) its always in the shower and very rarely bent over the tub. the sink has been totally taken out of the equation..unless I let someone else do it in a bigger industrial size sink...
There is no option for me.. I wash it under the bathtub faucet.. does that count as the sink? I don't like washing in the shower because by the end of it I'm soo tired and after coming out, parting and applying my leave-in I just don't feel like creaming my skin .
I can also keep better track of how much hair I'm losing when I wash my hair under the faucet
Bumping, because I didn't want to start a thread if this was already asked. I am a shower washer all the way. My mom used to wash my hair in the sink and I hated it! So as soon as I started doing it myself, I did it in the shower. My mom still washes her hair in the sink.
I vote shower - best way for me to detangle. Only thing I dislike about it is that my shed hairs sometimes trickle down my legs (I know I am not the only one).
I use the shower for everything except the henna - henna I rinse off in the sink. That stuff got in my ears and its no joke (ear infection) so I take all precautions now - sometimes I'm in and out 3 times - I don't mind because I love taking showers when I was younger my Mom used to have to run me out of the bathroom.. I would shower in the morning, when I got home and right before I went to bed as a teenager... My Mom would be like omg girl! So hopping in and out is right up my alley. My SO says I'm like a duck in water on Saturdays...its shower all the way for me cept henna
I usually lean over the bathtub to shampoo or co-wash my hair and sometimes in the shower.. I've heard that shampooing in the shower helps keep hair from getting too tangled.
always the shower-its just easier for me that way.. although I have leaned over the bathtub when I wasnt thrilled about my hair but had already gotten dressed :/
Shower only.
The times I washed in the sink, It was tangle city..and thats when I was relaxed! I don't want to try it again right now!

On the flip side, I can see why washing in the sink= convenience, because you can still be dressed
I wash in both the shower and sink. I wash out relaxers in the sink always. Rinsing in the sink gives me more tangles so I poo my hair in the sink apply conditioner for DC and then rinse in the shower.
