I have extremely short hair and its getting to my attention that I'll go maybe 3-4 days without showering yet I do wash my underarms and feet everyday is this something I should change?
if im sick or i just plan to be antisocial and sit around my house smoking weed. other than that i shower every time i leave my house
Definitely normal. I have shorter hair as well and have dry skin so if I'm at home with a few days off or I know I won't be going out in public, I'll skip showering for like 1-3 days. But even when I don't shower, I wash my armpits and my vulva everyday. I just find that if you break up your showers like that, it's healthier for your hair and skin. Ordinarily I shower everyday because of my job though.
Shower as often as you seem to need it. If your skin is getting dried out, shower less often, and if it's getting too oily, then wash (:
It's not a bad thing. Besides I've heard people take too many bathes these days and it bad for your skin.
It's okay sometimes. If the people around you don't mind and you aren't going out or having company anytime iz alright. If I go too long without showering though I itch. I'm weird, I need to feel the water on my skin \._./
I shower every day and most times twice just because it's something I feel the need to do for myself . If you aren't really doing anything where the odor would be offensive etc. then I suppose it is okay but if you are in a crowded place , that's just gross because I hate walking by people and you can tell they have poor hygiene . I also have sex every day so not showering isn't an option for me or a lot of others .
There was a time when civilized folks bathed once a month, whether they needed it or not. There were no illegal drugs, nor a legal drinking age.
Try washing it every other day.
Too much washing of the hair will strip it of oils.
But going long periods with out showering will make your hair more oily and sticky. It can create buildup and residue that will be sticky to the touch and smell horrible. It also can lead to scalp conditions and fungus such as dandruff.
If anything maybe try a dry shampoo. It helps soak up some oils in your hair and gives it a fresh scent, but overall washing it in the shower will be better for you.
You wash your underarms and your feet daily? Isn't there another part of your anatomy that needs a wash too?
Other than that if you're the only person who can smell you, I don't see a problem. Daily showering is a fairly recent phenomenon anyway
