How Often Should I Be Showering/Washing Hair?

[DanicaDoodle]

I always have my hair up for work and thus do not always feel the need to wash it, but then that means I do not feel like showing as I usually only shower to wash hair. What do you people think is the best for me or people in general for showering and hairwashing?

[MWG14]

Every day.

As often or infrequently as you're comfortable with, there's no right or wrong, although personally I shower and wash my hair every day.

Do whatever feels right..as long as you don't smell!

There is no need to wash hair every day- in fact it's not good for your hair. Twice a week is more than sufficient. Some like Gary Barlow don't wash it for months on end. I'd shower every day at the same time as you seem to like a daily regime- it's not really neccessary but as you work out a lot it's probably better as it's not nice when someone smells of sweat sin your office/place of work

^ not sure where the unnecessary C came from

Shower daily but wear a shower cap if you don't want to wet your hair 😊

Or use the hand held shower rather than the overhead one- the former is also better for doing sweaty armpits and other bits that can be missed with an overhead shower

I see the "clean team" are in town!

To think a weekly bath was the norm for many folk, certainly for my family.

How times have changed.

every day for a shower, hair depending. To put it bluntly and rather revoltingly, think of that gunky valley between your bum-cheeks and extending forward - you need to shower regularly and oarticularly after exercise.

My wife likes a shower in the morning (says it helps wake her up) and bath at night.

To me it's the equivalent of when as a boy I used to polish my shoes in the evening and again before school in the morning.

a lot of men dont seeme to wash for a week. Teenage lads can take this up to a month. It changes when they discover girls. I shower every day - without soap ( defats skin) and give my hair( no 2 crewcut) a squirt without soap

My father said, rinse hair if you want every day, shampoo not more than once a week. ( defats hair) - or as Mr Teasy Weasy might say  - gives you the frizzy blues

Shower - every day.

Hair - it really depends on its length and your hair type.  My husband washes his every day.  I find washing mine twice a week is sufficient to keep it in best condition.

If you never use any form of soap you are not showering, you are just getting wet under the shower, PP

[gingejbee]

There is no right  and wrong here...it can depend on your skin and scalp and length of hair.

[Peter Pedant]

If you never use any form of soap....

i use toilet soap - - but not on my face

[barry1010]

PP, you said, "I shower every day - without soap..."

I am pretty sure that daily hairwashing is bad for your hair.

As for showering, unless you are doing a daily run, gym session etc you def don't need to be doing that either.

[dave50]

I don't think even showering every day is necessary if you don't have a mucky job and not one to smell sweaty.  I do know people who shower twice a day and use a fresh towel every day, ridiculously over the top.

Only when you start humming. My late sister in Canada washed her hair about once a year. Something she learnt from Indians on the reserve where she taught up innthe wilds of Golden.
