This tongue-in-cheek, or do you really mean this?!?

With this autism of mine, sometimes I don't know what I mean.

LOL. That was funny!

Soap then shampoo, but after reading this I'm going to have to reverse it. That is, if I think of it while I'm half asleep at seven in the morning...

soap first

stormholloway · 03-07-2008, 08:52 PM

If you have a lot of hair, I suggest getting shampoo over with. That way your hair isn't soaking when you get out.

It's simple bathroom strategy folks

Now, on to wiping. Front side or back side?

i shave my head so.. first i put on soap on my face like anyone else would and slowly go up to forehead to top of my head and all over and rinse. towel dry!

But you have fair skin Stormy! Are you sure that wiping is even necessary?

What an excellent point! I should be saving all of that paper!

I'll use it, henceforth, on which to write my memoirs: "Next to Godliness: Diary of a Fair Skinned Beauty" by Storm Holloway.

From what I've seen through your window, that's not all you're doing in there.

By the way, you're going to run out of conditioner like that.

If I just came back from a heavy tennis match, I always shampoo first, then soap afterwards. The shampoo starts from my head, so it won't be a problem if I soap afterwards. (It's the best of both worlds, I guess.) I never-not shampoo anyway, so it really doesn't make a difference for me. Not sure about others' vices.

I guess your coach was very tolerant being sat on by a smelly guy lol.

i body wash it up then rinse hair then shampoo my hair and face since the face has the exact same epithealal cells at the scalp.

I'd like to ask a serious question.
Do people in the US use shampoo everyday? or even almost everyday ?

You're not from the US. That explains why you did not get the A-Team reference in Word Association.

I am American male with short hair. I do not shampoo every day. That cannot be healthy (natural oils and stuff). I use soap every day on my body, often twice. I brush my teeth 2 to 3 times a day. But shampoo is not nearly as necessary, I think.
I use a tiny bit of shampoo every other day. Usually a good rinse is sufficient unless I've been really sweating.

I always shampoo after I've been someplace with cigarette/cigar smoke or a firepit.

Conditioner, I feel is a good-smelling way to resore some of the oils to the hair and the scalp. But shampoo? I think that's more marketing than necessity.

Oh, and speaking of marketing, that whole rinse and repeat thing was a great way to boost shampoo sales.

Fee · 03-09-2008, 10:51 AM

Yes, rinse and repeat is a way to increase sales and I think most of the good brands have stopped printing that.

I can't put conditioner on my scalp, the type that I use for my very dry hair is far too thick for my moderately oily scalp. People with very short, normal hair are lucky, they can use those 2 in 1 shampoos like Pert and save money on all the other stuff.

stormholloway · 03-09-2008, 11:15 AM

People with hair at all are lucky.

Thank a lot , slice.
I live in a coastal area far away from the US. We use Tide instead of shampoo. (failed attempt at humor).

Stormy, loved your line - "bathing causes autism". I don't know why but just loved it.
