Shower every day

[Merci]

Some people are telling me I shouldn't shower every day

But wtf? Do you saw how ugly my hair gets if I skip only even one day of showering?

Why do people give me that advice?

I don't want to be a stinky sister

You can wash your hair in the toilet.

Yo dawg, I herd that happens to your hair because you use unnatural products all the time. It's like an addiction of sorts, you will be worse off after but using it again fixes it. So you can wash your hair while you shower.

From what I understand from internet experts (random people) when you shampoo it strips all the oils from your hair and then your body steps up production to replace those oils. So you end up being more oily than if you hadn't showed much and reached an equilibrium.

Unless you actually do work and get sweaty, that is. In that case you definitely should shower.

Hair should be dry and oil free.

People who like oily hair are tree hugging hippies who smell like poop. You shouldn't listen to them.

No, you should not shower daily.

You body has natural oils which can get wiped out with showering. Ironically, the more you shower, the more smelly you could become and require showers to reset.

Ideally you should shower 1-3 times a week and keep those body oils.

It's only bad bacteria which gives off an odour, so if your body has good bacteria it's best to keep that and actually not shower.

This however depends on how much you go outside and exercise to the point of sweating out, etc.

If you live more indoors and don't get dirty as much - consider reducing your showering.

If you exercise to sweat and/or go outside to get dirty - still shower as required.

I take regular showers, but only shampoo my hair like every 4 to 6 days
And I dont use a washcloth, only a bar of soap for the body.

You should shower every day. To get rid of the oil.

Gross people want you to do gross things. Reject the liberal hive mind.

I shower twice a day at least including hair. Many say the natural oils will help your hair however if you are biologically and naturally (i.e. weather) a type that gets dirty hair easily, you can always use oils to compensate for the natural oil loss.

There is an entire industry based on you showering all the time, stripping the oils out of your hair and then re-nourishing them over and over and over again.

I bathe daily, but in order to try and keep my hair from falling out even further, I would only wash it once a month. I have PCOS, so my hair will eventually go bald right in the middle, like a dude.

The real secret to hair care is just combing of brushing it every day, it helps to distribute the oils and prevent a buildup.

Waft your stench at them so they get the message and recant their views.

If you cannot waft at them, they're not real and you can ignore them.

So why does your scalp secrete oil then? To troll you?

I feel like a french fry if I skip a shower for a single day. Can't do it.

[Martlet]

I shower twice a day.
