How long do your showers take?

Sophira · Post by **Sophira** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:56 pm

If I go 24 hours without a shower, the hair closest to my head is noticeably more greasy gross than the rest. I won't go more than 36 hours. I just won't.

The only way I wouldn't wash my hair everyday is if it were extremely dry and the washing actually made it worse.

Are we talking actual time in the shower, or total time, including shaving, drying off, fixing ones hair, etc?

Because if it's the former, about 15-20 minutes.
If it's the latter, it's over a half hour.

Also, I take extremely hot showers, I can often drain a 40 gallon hot water heater.

Deacon, I've had hair stylists tell me not wash my hair every day- for the same reasons that she mentioned. Granted they aren't doctors and are, of course, fallible. Like some one else mentioned, people seem to produce hair oils at different rates. I know for MY hair, washing it every day makes it more damaged. With as much hair dye and other torture I've put it through, I'm really lucky that it isn't worse.

That all being said, of course with more activity gives more reasons to shampoo.

Depends if I'm completing the circuit or not.

You have the greatest Euphamisms in the Universe, Rors. I'm sure this is something you've spent your life dedicated to perfecting.

It depends for me. If I go in in a rush and go straight to cleaning I can get out in less than 10 minutes. However, I usually spend a lot of time just standing there under the water relaxing and thinking. It's kind of a meditation place for me. I often run out of hot water just standing there. My guess is that it is 20-30 minutes or more when I do that.

10-15 minutes here. Used to be less, but my hair's gotten so damned long that it takes forever to wash. I'd cut it off, but I'm growing it out on principle.

depends on how i'm feeling. The other day i felt kinda down and spent 20 minutes in the shower. Usually i spend ten minutes or less, and if i'm really in a hurry, less than five. That includes washing my hair, which, even though it's kinda long now, i've gotten down to an art.

And i don't wash my hair daily, and if i do i only condition every other day or so.

I have to wash my hair daily, or else people around me get snowfall in July... not a good thing in the northern hemisphere, trust me. Also, I use T-Gel (or generic) coal tar shampoo, which is supposed to be left in for five minutes, so I lather that on first and then proceed to everything else.

As for the rest of the time, I just like basking in the steam. Mmm, hot....

On the hair thing: If I don't wash every day, my shoulders get snowed on.

I must have an more hair oil or something because if I don't wash it every day then my face breaks out. I think it's from the oil on the hair getting on my face because it's not as bad if I keep it pulled back.

Coal tar... shampoo?

Nioxin works much better than T-gel or Head & Shoulders, IMO. Aaron has really bad dandruff and ever since he's been using this stuff it's been gone. All the other stuff only kept it away for a day, if that. As long as he washes his hair every few days, it stays gone! I don't have flakes, but I use it on my hair too and it's a lot healthier!
