Several special shower-heads were developed in order to help avoid wetting the head while still having enabling one to shower instead of soak. While washing the hair was a known practice, it was usually performed separately from the bath for the body; getting the head wet was believed to bring on colds and other illnesses, so it was a thing discouraged unless absolutely needed. You will notice in the post about Edwardian shampoo, Qui-Vive recommends massaging the scalp after a hair wash in order to prevent catching cold.
