How do you wash your kids hair?
Steve and I are having the most ridiculous disagreement related to bath time.
I walk in the other day when he was bathing the kids, and he was washing their hair after washing their bodies. The water was kind of soapy, but he was using the tub water to rinse their hair, rather than running the fresh water from the faucet. I asked him what the heck he was doing, and he was insistent that there was no reason to use more water, because in the grand scheme of things, the small amount of soap and dirt was diluted by the large amount of water in the tub. I still rerinsed their hair. Then I told him I'd do a "scientific" poll to see who's right.
So, what do you do?? Am I crazy for wanting to rinse with fresh water?

This is my system as well, so at least I'm not the only one.
fill tub
insert kid- play
wash body starting at the top
hair last using tub water
when you say it like that and you think about it I guess it isnt 100% the best plan, but I am glad to hear I am not the only one. = )

dirto and play some more after hair washing. I don't know...the water isn't that soapy or dirty for me to worry about rinsing hair. I don't like turning on fresh water because its a pain to get the temp right and see no sense in running more.
baths in general just don't make the most sense...sitting in "dirty" water so I don't see rinsing hair as any worse than any aspect of a bath.
Jake is past the drinking stage, but you would think that we don't allow Liam to have liquids at any other time of the day. I don't get it!

same here. Washing hair with the water is way less of an issue than drinking it. I have to stop dd from doing it so many times!
I do it either way. DD has really long, curly hair though, so I usually use the shower head hose thing to rinse her hair after I wash it because it gets the soap out better. We do wash her hair first though.
seriously, what is with drinking the bath water!?!? If we try to get dd to drink out of a cup (no lid or straw) when we are out she acts like we're nuts yet she drinks like a pro out of the bath tub cups.
