How often do you shower and why?

Question

I have really oily skin and hair. Seriously oily. In highschool I had a bead of oil sliding down from my hairline. It was embarrassing. 
I've found some really good shampoo/conditioner/soap to help my skin but I still can't shower more than twice a week or else my hair will lose all it's natural oil and be like straw. 
I know. It's so confusing. One minute I'm oily and the next I'm dry. I just need to find the perfect balance. 
I'm curious to see what everyone else's body demands. Is my body normal or am I just plain gross?

Answer

I shower once or twice a day, but I only shampoo maybe twice a week. And I only use soap when I've come into contact with gross stuff. Mostly it's a comfort thing. And a rinsing-off-sweat thing.

Answer

Yea kinda confused since you can shower without washing your hair. I only wash my hair maybe once or twice a week but my hair is super curly and it would dry my scalp and hair out like crazy to wash any more than that. That's odd that your hair is so oily but then super dry when you do wash it. Maybe the shampoo you're using is too strong? Or you could do the reverse, condition first then shampoo so it doesn't strip your hair. As far as your skin if you apply moisturizer/lotion before you dry off, like when you're still standing in the shower dripping it locks in moisture better than drying off first.

Answer

So you only shower twice a week or wash your hair twice a week? Sorry im kinda confused here because you're talking bout hair at one point and then shower

Answer

I have very oily hair if I don’t wash and blow it out every other day. My skin is balanced though

Answer

I shower every other day with soap and wash my hair. I have 50/50 hair that’s super oily on top but the ends get really dry and look terrible on days I don’t shower. My face also gets really oily so I wash it daily with a charcoal based wash. I use hydrating shampoo and conditioner but I only put the conditioner in the bottom half of my hair. I don’t know if what I’m doing is hurting or helping but that’s my routine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I wish I could every day but I have a baby and sometimes I don’t get to.

Answer

I shower daily, usually only use soap if I'm really icky. I wash my hair once a week. It took a while to work up to that though.

Answer

I have oily hair and have to shower daily. I use products to put some oil back in but if I skip just one wash my hair looks like a grease pit. dry shampoo does nothing to help me, an hour after I use it my hair is oily again. I say wash every day and find good products to use to bring back moisture

Answer

My hair is super oily, so dry shampoo and cocoa powder (I'm brunette, so baby powder doesn't work well for me) are my best friends. My skin is pretty balanced, so I pretty much shower every other day and I always shampoo when I do. I try to balance at least some of those days with my rest days for working out. On non-shower days i use the cocoa and dry shampoo

Answer

I used to wash my hair every day. When i started washing it less often it got oily extremely quickly but over a few months my scalp doesnt produce as much oil. I tide myself over with dry shampoo when needed. Batiste is a good inexpensive brand.
