Don't shower

Is it normal to go several days without taking a shower? I wash certain areas daily, but I sometimes go like 3-6 days without washing my hair. I just tie it back.

    I think six days is kinda a long time, but if your hair isn't dirty there's no reason to wash it. People that wash their hair everyday are wrong. Bodies produce natural oils for a reason.

    Everyone on here just sissies... You don't need to shower unless you smell. Period. If that's a whole week then so be it.

  • meh, I think you might want to shower a little more often, but if you don't stink and greasey hair doesn't bother you than go for it!

    To the original poster: I think you are dloing fine waiting 6 days. Is that your record, or just your average? What is the longest that you have gone? Is it the 6 days? Don't let people in here frustrate you! Stick with your 6 days! I think that's great!

    shampoo is probably worse for your hair than the natural oils it creates.
    I mean do we really even know what's in shampoo? Sure, it smells good, and makes your hair look clean, but is it really healthy?

    I also don't shower that much, and I'm hella sexy ;) You go girl/ guy!

    • Nice! And yes you're right. A lot of the really nice smelling shampoos are really bad for your hair.

    Not washing your hair for a couple of days is actually good for your hair because your sebaceous glands in your hair follicles can successfully produce sebum to hydrate your scalp which will prevent dandruff and give your hair a nice shiny look.

    It really depends...if your hair is oily,then not showering is just gross.If you have dry hair,then that's different,and there is no physical need to shampoo everyday.
    Still,hair often starts to get an ODOR after about 2-3 days.

    • My hair is very DRY. I often cover up the odor by using hair spray, lol.

  • You know, I hate to say this, but only showering that often WILL result in Scabies someday. I personally hate taking showers too. So you know what I do? I take a bath every day. You know, like a sit in the tub filled with water bath. That solved my problem easily. So trust me, baths feel so great and are much better anyway, they take way less water then showers do. Environmentally friendly! :)

    • Oh yes, I really enjoy baths, and I usually have one every day. It's the washing of my hair that I hate, since it takes me forever to dry it and straighten it. If I don't do that, then it looks like crap!

    I shower and wash my hair everyday. That's not good. Going a day without a shower is fine I guess, but woaw, 6 days ? that's pretty weird yeah.

    Yeah I shower every day (wash my body) but I only do my hair every 2-3 days... sometimes I get 4 days out of it.

    Yikes, 6 days is a long time! It is true that washing your hair everyday is not good for it. I take a shower everyday but usually only wash my hair every 2 or 3 days.

    N0! you'll get sick and probably get sent to the hospital if you let the bacteria on your body get that bad. and when you go to bed, make sure your hair is still tied back or it might get in your face if you roll over; then you might get sick. XP
    take a shower!

          You know, in some countries showering more than once a week is considered strange.

          In other countries still, showering is an uncommon luxury.
