Sacrilege, I didn’t say I hold by R’ Moshe about A/C timers (although we don’t set timers for ours, they are either on or off). And I didn’t do Dor Yeshorim – I’m not really a fan of it.

I added in the “very halachic.” Her family is very stringent in halacha. And they come from a long line of very distinguished rabbonim. Her father has smicha. He knows halacha and makes sure his entire family follows it. They took showers on Yom Tov. They did it properly.

In addition, my husband has really short hair. He doesn’t even need to towel off his hair. So that removes the schitah issue no?

Now, I don’t think there is any way for me to be able to deal with my hair on yom tov. Its long, thick, curly and stays wet forever. Its virtually impossible to contain the water that drips out. I also can’t brush my hair with even my fingers because it knots/breaks. But I never discussed this with my rav and maybe he would have a solution.

But I don’t expect others to not shower based on my ignorance.
