How often do you shower and wash your hair

Shower daily unless it’s very hot, when it is twice. Wash my hair twice a week. Hate baths.

I wash my hair as little as I can get away with, every 5-7 days. I like baths with bath oil but nor more than twice a week, max. Showering is so quick, would have one if I felt grubby but I'm guessing not more than every 3 days unless it was really hot and sticky.
I firmly believe that it's bad for your skin to bathe or shower too often, just wash any niffy bits when necessary.
I have a friend who has a bath AND a shower every day. Her skin shows its age and it seems like a ridiculous waste of water and power.

I shower and wash my hair daily. Hubby does too. I feel dirty if I don't shower.

Shower daily. Hair generally every other day. (Haven't had a bath for years!)

Every other day

Been waiting 2 years for my new shower. Now it's in finished and it's First Shower night tonight!
I go swimming 4 times a week so shower before and after for hygiene/chlorine removal.
I love a candlelit bath on a Friday night with prosecco. Hubby watches a film downstairs and all is well.
Hair once a week. (Tucked in hat for swimming.)
Have a nice day, y'all. x

I have a shower every 3 days and wash my hair at the same time. I do more often in hot weather or been for a long walk. My skin is dry so any more I would be in trouble

Not much mention of bidets here, apart from soaking feet in them, but I absolutely love them and had one fitted when we moved here. If you use the bidet regularly there’s no need for daily baths and showers with all that waste of water and electricity. I think they’re a woman’s thing. Men laugh at them for being pointless but they’re so useful, especially during periods.

I’m a bath girl, bath every other day. Wash my hair once a week I’m trying to get it in better condition.

JackyB, one of my dds could hardly ever be bothered with a hairdryer. (Still can’t.) She spent several months in St Petersburg as part of her degree course, and would go out in the winter with wet hair when it was so cold, some of it would ice over on her head! The locals were horrified and issued dire warnings of pneumonia and death.
But she’s another who never got colds even then, and still doesn’t.

The Muslim rule about washing after intercourse I very sensible and always remembered t and put it into practice where posible.

I was taught to use the jug beside the loo in the maternity ward. This has come up before on a thread here on GN. It was a terrible faff. The midwife was shocked and told me off when I took a shower and went back to bed with wet hair.

I have never used a hairdryer and would even bike to work with still damp hair on wintry days. I have never had a cold.

argymargy, it can only get worse. I find it all very amusing!

nadateturbe, thank you - I don't think anyone here has spent time camping in remote areas.

My Muslim friend has to take a bath after sex (even in the early hours, required by religion). As they live with her husband's parents - they know all about it and there are little smiles and comments at breakfast. How awful!

One of the most fascinating things I read on MN (or indeed anywhere)
was about wiping your bum.

Some people do it standing.
Others do it seated.

It comes as a shock for both groups when they learn that the other group exists!

I made the move to here from Mumsnet to get away from this kind of thread! Also:
How often do you change your sheets (daily, weekly, monthly, rarely)
How often do you use a bath towel (once, twice, until it puts itself in the laundry)
..etc ad infinitum
So… where can I go now?!

Call me picky but unlike some I don’t like these threads which ask personal questions about our habits.
I know, I don’t need to answer and I won’t, but whose business is it but mine and why on earth would I want to know about anybody else?

I know what you mean, but it is fascinating knowing how other people function.

I always shower every morning and I also wash my short hair - all done within 5mins. Life is too short to worry about drying the shower I give it a quick squeegee and job done. Strip washing takes far too long and I would never feel properly clean. Gone are the days when we didn’t have bathrooms/showers thank goodness.

Shower - but it’s quick. I can’t imagine standing under it for 20 minutes.

Agree - the news is so grim right now.

Lucca, being incapable of 'bits in basin' the camping bottle wash is easier (for certain areas) than strip down. Just fill a large plastic bottle with warm water - and use to rinse 'bits' when sitting on the loo!

Why ? What a palaver

It isn't actually. A jug of soapy water works really well.
I got the idea from a novel I was reading in which a young Muslim girl kept a jug beside the loo because they are supposed to wash after going. (according to the novel)

Really, really I did I don't live in a house full of men/boys at all urgh what do they do

Of course you did…. Not !!

I almost fainted at the mention of bits in the sink

Yes I am terribly sorry ? I shall leave now and hang my head in shame

The one about men dangling their bits in the sink?

MissAdventure

The word "bits" is too much?
I could suggest some alternatives...

Sorry that’s was me…. It was another post that made me feel a bit ??
