And she said: I used to take a bath with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from a single vessel, and we would all draw water from it.

The reciter: And she said: Sahih al-Bukhari 272, 273.
The Shaykh : If the hair is thick, it must be combed through during the full ritual bath so that the water reaches the roots of the hair. It should be known that purifying the hair is divided into three categories: The first is that it is obligatory to purify both its exterior and interior, which is done by taking a full ritual bath from major ritual impurity, whether the hair is thin or thick. The second is that it is obligatory to purify its exterior but not its interior, which applies to the ablution for prayer when the hair is thick. The third is that it is obligatory to let the water reach it in all cases, which applies when the hair is thin; this is obligatory in the ablution for prayer and in other cases. However, is it recommended to comb through it? We say that in the full ritual bath, it is necessary to comb through it, whereas in the ablution for prayer, one should comb through thick hair, and in dry ablution with clean earth, it is not recommended to comb through it because dry ablution is purification with earth, and combing through it adds nothing but harm; it is sufficient to wipe its exterior with one's hands. In the full ritual bath, it is necessary to comb through thick hair so that the water reaches the roots of the hair, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. Here we ask: Should we grow a beard or not? Some scholars hold that growing a beard is a recommended practice, and Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) explicitly stated this, saying: "It is a recommended practice; if we were able to do it, we would grow it, but it involves effort and expense." What appears to be the case is that it is not a recommended practice but rather a custom. If you are in a country where people customarily grow their beards, then do so; if you are in a country where the custom is otherwise, then do not. The same applies to the turban: Is the turban a recommended practice or a custom? The correct view is that it is a custom. Likewise, the waist cloth and the outer garment: Is it a recommended practice or a custom? The correct view is that it is a custom.
I and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to take a bath from a single water container, from which we took water simultaneously.
