I typically turn the water off if I'm brushing in the shower. Hop in, shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, turn off water, brush teeth, scrub body, turn water on, rinse, done. Makes use of otherwise dead time I'd spend waiting for the conditioner to work, and is comfortable enough with the residual heat from the walls and steam.
Ok that makes sense. Since I don't use conditioner I don't have any wait time in the shower.
I do the same thing as @redhorsejacket@lemmy.world - except I wait for shampoo to work. I read that shampoo takes 4-6 minutes to work. I then confirmed this with 2 dermatologists. This is especially important if someone is using anti-dandruff shampoo.
