  • Totally normal to shower once a day, even more than once if you go to the gym and exercise or sweat a lot during work. It is the washing your hair daily that allegedly isn't good for it; it strips the natural oils out supposedly. But like someone else said, if you're conditioning that's probably fine too.

  • Showering is fine. Don't use soap/ shampoo everyday. I've heard vinegar is actually better to help your body balance its pH.

    • Females are going to get just as dirty as men throughout the day.

    • I guess I'm a girl and never knew. I shower when I wake in the morning, again after the gym and when I get home from my daily outings.

  • Culturally its expected. However its said that showering and washing hair exsessivly is bad for skin and hair. If you have a job like me where you regaurly come home drenched in dirt, sweat and sometimes harmful toxins or chemicals showering and washing is very needed. In an office job it might differ though.

  • It's a necessary hygiene habit, my friend, it would be even better if you showered twice or even three times a day.
    Of course, you can be over sanitised and that can lead to bacterial infections however, that's only likely to happen as a young boy.

        • In my opinion, that is a nasty habit. I understand that we are living in a new American, but I next to certain that we are still allowed to have an opinion.

        • You'd lose sir, but I bet you do and you're entitled to do do what works for you. My wife showers 2-3 times a day, so do you really think I'm going to miss a shower for whatever reason?

        • I have respect for your opinion. I think in a civilized society to which many of us live, not washing one ass is disrespectful to the public at large.
