Is the water pressure good enough to rinse thick hair? Can you remove restrictor?

The flow is excellent, even with the restrictor. The faucet uses fluidics to make the flow feel stronger and fuller without the actual volume. Technology at work!

if you switch it so either 1 of the heads work solely by itself, then yes. And as far as restrictor, I don't think the screen inside is removeable. If it is, I'd like to know. Hope this helps a little. BTW, I am very happy with my purchase. When I have the water on hot, it feels like a spa.

My wife had the same concern. She is quite happy with the water volume. She sets the flow to the hand held portion only when she rinses her hair. I'm not sure if there is a water conservation feature in the head but my wife is happy with ours. Hope this helps.

The massage feature on the hand held is great for rinsing thick hair. I do not know if the restrictor can be removed, I did not see the need.

Water pressure is really house dependant. But yes, you shouldn't have an issue rinsing thick hair. Sorry, I didn't try or need to remove the restrictor.Hope this helps

No. I now love the Instyler Max. And the Sarapotempka Beachwaver. Both work miracles on my super thick and coarse hair.

Yes, it is powerful enough. However, I don't start with hair that's dripping wet.

No, but keep in mind it is a rain shower head, not a high pressure or massage shower head. The flow constrictor is not easily removable. I had very good pressure before, and now it's a softer pressure, but a LOT more water coming down. Very relaxing and easy to rinse long hair. I have difficulty believing it's really 2.5 gal/min.

The only flow restrictor I saw was the thick black washer which slow the water flow a lot. After removing entirely the water pressure was good.

I have had no issues at all. I have very long hair and what concerned me was the type of the shower head not having enough pressure to fully wash my hair without a big bother. I do like the Grohe. You are able to tilt the shower head a bit too.

Yes you can and I would recommend removing it before installing it to save you from having to remove it and reinstall it again later because it definitely restricts the water flow with it installed. The directions come with it and easy to understand and the flow restrictor is a piece of cake to remove.

I saw some reviews that said it was fine with the restrictor in place and others that said it wasn't. It kind of depends on your local water pressure. It was not difficult at all to remove the restrictor.

Not with this one. The 2.5 gpm is pretty strong and I don't have any issues with long thick hair.

It's not a high-pressure shower head, no, but it does offer very good pressure. Many of these type cut back the pressure because of the design; that is not the case for this shower head. It is as least as strong as a "normal" shower head. Note there are many more "holes" in this style than a standard, so you will get more water, but not at a diminished pressure. Hope this helps. Been very happy with it.

Yes you can. It reduces the pressure a bit, but plenty of water still comes out of my shower head. Hope that helps!

Removing the flow restrictor is absolutely necessary for good pressure. Directions are included and it's very easy. I am very happy with this combo.

Yes it is a very good shower head for a house with limited water pressure or volume, personally I still always remove the 'flow restrictor' as a good morning shower matters more to me than a few cents on my bill..

I would say the holes would catch some of the hair but not all of it. The strainer is wonderful, however, so I would suggest it for when you aren't washing your hair! I have long medium-thick hair and our shower gets clogged quickly-we use the Zip-It tool and no chemicals are needed. I hope that helps :)

There is less water pressure than the one I replaced. That said, it's a comfortable spray, not an invigorating massage, but strong enough to wash my long hair quickly.

Yes. I have thick hair but find a lot now in my tub. I've used this perm for 15+ years and have had no problems. This is NOT a home perm and should be always used by a professional. I buy the perm here and take it with me.

Yes, I have a dog with long thick hair. The trimmer cuts through it easily and evenly in one pass. Bathe and dry your pet first to keep the hair from sticking together. After use, just keep it clean and oiled. It is also very quiet which helps keep my dog calm. I have never had any problem with it.
