No, it concentrates in the tips of hair as it dries due to the physical
evaporation process.

No, showering or shampooing alone will not get rid of chlorine bound to
proteinaceous tissues and hair.  You must chemically neutralize with the
thiosulfate.  Then the sulfur will wash out with detergent.

I would go for shower. After thiosulfate bath you will be slightly smelly  
– to be honest I prefer to smell of chlorine than of rotten eggs. Medicine  
worse than the malady.

At least that’s what I remember from the time I was using thiosulfate in  
the darkroom.
