The burning question...

I was reading through my blogs today and stumbled upon this post from (NO) Sex and the City. {such a great blog, Natalie is so cute and talented!!} I read the earlier post as well and although I didn't agree with all of her stipulations and standards of cleanliness, I had no idea that people would get so heated about someone else's ideal of cleanliness... You should read these posts, they are very entertaining.





But my question is: Do you shower everyday? and even further, Do you wash your hair everyday?




I shower every other day. Unless I work out or have a reason to need to shower everyday. I never thought there was anything wrong with that. I am clean and smell fresh and nice... but apparently the author of the blog and most of the commenter's think it is ludicrous that not every woman showers everyday. So I want to know what you ladies {and/or gentlemen} think. Please chime in for either side. I won't be offended, I am genuinely curious and would love as much input as possible!

  1. Hahaha, that is too funny! I am like you, I shower every other day unless I have a reason to bath everyday. And I will be honest, I have gone 4-5 days between hair washing. Doesn't happen very often, but you know how it goes. I think as long as you smell ok then who cares.

  2. I love shower-less Sunday's!! Otherwise I pretty much shower every day, since I get pretty greasy. But I think it's more of a personal preference.

  3. Ok, when I lived in the states, I was an every other day person. Especially because my hair gets super dry if i wash it every single day.

    However, now that I live in Brazil I shower usually twice a day. that is because it is hot. with no a/c and I sweat and it is yucky. Plus the water keeps my body temperature down. But I still dont wash my hair every day.

    People need to calm down. Im going to go check out the other scence now and see what all the fuss is about!

  4. I do not shower everyday. I would have no skin left. I get SUPER dry when I shower and my eczema breaks out really bad. Ouch! As far as my hair, it's a bitch, therefore I do not wash it everytime I shower. I wash it maybe twice a week.

  5. I shower every other day! unless like everyone else said if i've done something during the day that makes me need to. Sometimes i'm lazy and will skip a couple of days!

  6. I think it's great if you can go a day without washing your hair...a blessing in fact. I on the other hand HAVE to wash my hair everyday or I look like a vagabond! It's NOT a pretty sight! :)

  8. I myself am a shower everyday, wash hair every other to every 3 days. Now that my hair is longer it tends to get greasy faster so I have been washing it more often. However, if I shower at night I will not shower the next day. I will skip a day if I think I can get away with it, but I married a "shower 3 times a day" person, so he tends to get a little grossed out if I don't shower every day!

  9. I definitely don't shower everyday...I see no need to shower everyday unless I'm on an exercising streak, in which I 'm sure things would be different. But I haven't had one of those streaks for 5 years or more, ha. So therefore, I'm a shower every couple of days kind of person, I actually don't keep track, I just shower when I feel like I need to. And my hair does better if I don't wash it a ton, so I just wash it every 2 or 3 days, I used to go longer when it was long, but now that it's short I have to wash it more often. I'm not ashamed to be an "every few days" showerer. I take care of myself and keep myself smelling fresh and clean and I know when I need a shower and when I don't. That is my two cents on the subject. I think everybody is different. Some can do it, some can't.

  10. I don't even think I know anyone who showers everyday- what a waste of time!

  11. When I first met my Chris he was showering 2-3 times a day: in the morning, after work (a steak house where he got very sweaty and smelled like beef), and after working out.

    Now I usually shower in the am and sometimes bathe at night, too, just to relax. But here and there I got a day without a shower. Like you said, as long as you don't stink and are clean why should anyone else care?

  12. I also love Natalie's blog! I used to work at her dad's law firm. I do shower & wash my hair everyday. My hair has to be wet when I put in products since it is curly and crazy. I wish I could go a day w/out washing it though!

  13. When I was on the swim team I'd shower 2-3 times a day. In the morning after swimming, in the afternoon after swim practice, and at night before bed. I love the shower. Despite it getting you clean, it's just nice to be warm and I find it relaxing.

    I shower every day. I shower at night because my hair dries well and I usually don't have to straighten it. Plus I like thinking that I am laying on clean(er) sheets. On the rare times that I skip a day I can usually do ok, but any longer than that I feel like my face is greasy and my hair sometimes too.

    I've been working on dropping some baby weight so I definitely shower after the gym. I am a huge sweat-er!

    My DH has to shower daily too. His hair gets so greasy, it's gross :)

  14. wow, thats a lot of comments. I'm a daily showerer...if I don't shower I do feel gross(but I'm a big worker outer) I don't feel like I stink but I love the feeling of a nice warm shower(whether it is winter or summer...) I wash my hair every other day however. I am pretty certain I always need to shower everyday...I have met quite a few people(girls) who don't shower but once a week if that and they talk about itching down south and that disgusts me...so I'll stand by my standing daily(talk to me once I have kids maybe I'll change my mind...)

  16. i'm an every other day girl. utah is way too dry to shower everyday! i'd be a giant ball of excema! as for my hair i'm an every other day and sometimes every 3rd day kinda girl. your color will fade faster and your hair will be super dry and dependant if you wash it everyday. especially if you dont invest in good product. on the days i dont wash it i use dry shampoo...most amazing invention ever. honestly.

  17. I shower everyday because I run every morning so I can't be known at work as the "stinky girl." Although I do not wash my hair everyday I go every other day or every two days.

  18. I shower and wash my hair every single day or I look terrible. My skin just produces oil a lot more than normal people so my hair is icky by the end of the day and by morning it's just, well...scary! :) I shower every day because it's a personal preference. I feel better when I do.

    In the "olden days" women went a very long time without showering and cleaning their hair. Sometimes weeks.

  19. I shower every other day but I dont always wash my hair that often. It much for your hair to not wash it often. I brush my teeth at least 2x a day and I dont wash my jeans everytime I wear them either. And there you have it.
