I installed rvm using commands which by convention should return rvm as a function

1) bash < <(curl -sk https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
2) echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
3) source .bash_profile
4) type rvm | head -1

    should return ("rvm is a function") // and it returned, rails was perfectly fine yesterday.

It worked perfectly yesterday, but now today when I am checking out rails. Its saying rails is not installed. 

   type rvm | head -1
   returns "RVM is Hashed".

Here is something that i got from official site, but i dont know next I should do.
So the question is:

What should be done to get the rvm installed in a function mode and not binary mode?

    One possible reason might be that RVM is not being accessible from .bash_profile file so try out using .bashrc file instead of .bash_profile.

    Copy and paste following commands into the terminal

    echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

    Hope it works for you. worked for me cheers !!

    ===== Edit =====

    The following should work in all cases :

    curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc
