So, I don't shower every day. Mainly because it's unhealthy to wash your hair every day, so I shower and wash my hair at the same time every 2-3 days. Is this normal? Does not showering every day make me gross? I never smell bad or anything, so I really don't see a point in showering every day.
This is largely opinionated. But in my opinion i prefer to shower daily for the sake of hygiene and maintain a presentable appearance.
Pretty normal. Personally 3 days is the maximum to me, but that's subjective and depends on the person's body oil output. Of course if you do something strenuous and sweat a lot or get actually dirty, you should shower soon after, but if you're just staying at home for a day or two, then I suppose you'd be fine as long as you don't smell.
shampooing and hard washing your hair doesn't necessarily always have to coincide with a normal body shower. Hair-care differs between people by a large margin. if you've found that your hair only needs to be washed every few days, then that's what you should do.
I shower once a day and wash my hair every other day. I just put my hair up in a bun.
I shower once every other day and when I go places, which usually manifests as six days a week. In uni I learned that this is actually way too often, though. Washing can strip your skin of its natural oils, and may also disrupt the skin’s population of immune system-supporting bacteria. Every other day is actually plenty unless you have a condition where you sweat more than usual, or you constantly partake in dirty, strenuous activity.
In short, this may not be normal but its scientifically sound.
I shower everyday because it's the only way for me to wake up.
yes I am one of those freaks that doesn't drink coffee LOL
But I've read several articles and research papers that give conclusive proof that we don't need to shower more than I think 3 times a week.
I'm not an expert
Other people might smell you bad. It's a matter of whether you care for people's opinions or not, and if you don't care at all it's not normal.
In the post, I stated that I don't smell bad. I wear a proper amount of deodorant and perfume each day; obviously if I started smelling, I would shower.
Showering isn't just about making you smell good, perfumes and deodorant are for that. Showering is about cleaning yourself. Those perfumes only hinder the smell and don't erase it.
Normally, you wouldn't clean something unless it's dirty or smells bad. I'm not incredibly active every day, so it takes a day or two for me to feel like I need a shower, and even without deodorants or perfumes I don't start smelling bad until a day or two after my last shower; thus, I don't see a reason for showering each and every day. Seems like a waste of time and water.
Some people smell worse than others. I don’t smell bad so I don’t shower often. Some of my friends shower every day because they have to. Men tend to sweat more and have more body odour so they generally need more showers.
