How much hair do you and your family have?
My hair is medium length and I can still wash it and rinse along with the rest of my body with about a gallon of water. My wife has shoulder length hair or perhaps a bit longer. She probably needs another quart of so to rinse it but she typically does not wash it everyday.
My point is simple a shower head which uses a gallon or more a minute is going to waste a lot of water. When it is important to conserve we do so by wetting down, soaping and then rinsing with a gentile stream of water. If water conservation is not important then turn up the water flow and any shower head can be used.
It sounds like you both have relatively short hair. I have the shortest hair of my wife, daughter, and I and it's probably 2-3" below my shoulders. It's thick- think Fabio type hair. :W
My daughter is next with hair a bit longer.
And my wife's is even a bit longer than that.
All three of us have very thick hair.
We use LESS water even with a higher flow due to the extra pressure of the water actually getting through the hair vs. a crappy shower head that doesn't seem to help boost the water.
I know it's hard to imagine, but it truly does make a difference.
