Why are pipe cleaners called pipe cleaners?

The "Pipe Cleaners" most often encounter by people, intended for arts and crafts, are about 12 inches long and made from a plastic based material for the fluffy parts and wire. Nowadays they are often referred to as crafting stems or chenille stems. Pipe cleaners used for cleaning pipes, the smoking apparatus not the plumbing variety, are closer to 8 inches long and made from one 100% cotton. They are used to clean the soot/ash and moisture from steam and spittle that accumulates in the pipe's stem and bowl during smoking. Failure to use a pipe cleaner after smoking can result in a build up in the pipe that give the smoke a sour taste as well as clog the pipe's stem.

If when you turn the shower off water still drips from the shower head like a dripping tap can this be easily fixed?

Does the shower drip constantly over a period of 4-5 hours, if not, it's water holding in the shower head which has a water saving feature that holds water in the head. If it drips constantly, you'll need to change your seals on your stems. It's fairly simple if you have the correct tools.

How can you stop water leaking through the shower head when cold water or both hot and cold water is on?

Be aware that for the first few minutes after turning off you will get the shower head leak a little. This is because the shower head has a large cavity inside that fills up with water in use. When you turn off, that water has to go somewhere, so it dribbles through the outlets of the shower head. If both shower heads are off no water should be going to your shower head. the only thing it could be is your shower valve itself. you probably have a pinhole in one of your o rings on the valve stem. try replacing the valve stems. I would start by replacing all the washers and o-rings on the hot and cold valves ( a lot cheaper than replacing the entire valve stem ). Try replacing the Valves, and then the pipe holders, (for want of a better word) to the wall. The shower diverter has a bad seal - very easy to replace.
