Abstract
A hair rinsing sink assembly for rinsing the full length of a user's hair includes a sink that is elongated and tapers such that the sink has a conical shape to accommodate the full length of a user's long hair. A plurality of grooves is integrated into the sink and each of the grooves is oriented to extend along a full length of the sink. In this way each of the grooves can accommodate the user's hair to facilitate the user's hair to be separated into a plurality of strands for efficiently rinsing the user's hair. A faucet is removably integrated into the sink for rinsing the user's hair. Moreover, the grooves facilitate the user's hair to be thoroughly rinsed after hair dye, for example, has been applied to the user's hair.
