And does it depend on the season?

just saw someone say they wash their hair (with stuff like bar soap, ugh) every day. Meaning the also shower every day, which is equally odd to me.

In the summer, I will shower every day, because I get hot and sweaty, and I like to cool off and wash off the sweat. It feels nice in the summer.

In the winter, I can barely make myself shower every few days. Maybe it's like once a week? I make myself do it when my hair gets greasy enough that I need to wash it. I just hate having to get all my clothes off at once and everything. If it weren't for greasy hair, I'd have trouble doing it at all in winter.

Every day, because I have naturally oily skin and hair and my hair gets NASTY if I don't. When I was stuck at home during the pandemic I experimented with doing it every other day/every few days and my hair just got disgusting, so every day it is for me.

For me it's a nice, relaxing routine. I like scented body washes so I use one of those whenever I shower and it's like a mini spa day.

Feel you!
I read a lot that you should wash your hair every other day. I tried doing it, all I've got is more skin issues and truly disgusting hair.

NAYRT/DA

I used to believe in the "it just takes time to adjust to not washing your hair every day" myth until a dermatologist had a video where they were like, "You know your body best. If you feel like you have to wash your hair every day, wash it every day."

I absolutely believe it.
I tried doing the other way. Sorry, not working. You can tell me that I SHOULD stop washing my hair every day but I am going to ignore it since it was bad for my hair and bad for my mental health and I am not doing it again.

Even when the “no ‘poo” movement was peaking on social media, it seemed like the most vocal proponents were the ones who probably should have been washing their hair more frequently. Like there was always some blond with three feet of lank, greasy hair hanging in her face bragging that she only washed her hair once a month like no one could tell.

Every 2 to 3 days. I definitely need one tomorrow as I've stretched it a bit because I'm being lazy due to a long weekend and not having to go anywhere. Think I last showered on Wed.

I sweat a lot doing any physical activity, even in the middle of winter. So I pretty much shower daily, no matter what time of year. I'd feel so itchy and gross if I didn't.

Every day. My hair is extremely greesy - I've got naturaly oily skin and gastro issues. I prefer showering because I actually like it, but I can just clean my hair over the buthtub. I should do it more often frankly.
Winter isn't a problem because we keep our homes warm usually in my country. And even if it's cold bathrooms are warm because of ah towel rails radiator. So it's nice. My water costs are a bitch though.

Never. I was my hair about once a week (standing at the edge of the shower) and take bird baths in the sink every so often, but I haven't taken a proper shower in about 5 years or so. The reasons being stuff like depression, trauma, dysphoria, etc.

Once a day unless I'm depressed

I feel like every 2–3 days would be ideal for me to actually feel my best, but in reality I'm more likely to shower every 4 days. Unless there's a heatwave, in which case I'll shower more often. During the insane heatwave in 2021 I showered everyday.

I've always had very dry skin that basically never gets oily, and I also barely sweat unless it's extremely hot or I'm doing a HIIT workout at max intensity. I'm happily single, so nobody is getting up close and person with my business. I'm skinny and small-breasted, so there aren't many spots for sweat to collect. Plus I've never had a UTI or yeast infection in my life, so maybe I'm a little cavalier about hygiene because of that.

I'm not proud that I shower so infrequently, but I also know that showering daily would be horrible for my skin and hair health. Every second day would be the absolute max, even with gentle, moisturizing shower products.

I typically shower once a week, though I'll give myself a sponge bath (use a soapy washcloth to clean just my armpits, crotch, and butt) an extra couple of days a week in spring, autumn, and winter, and every non-shower day in the heat of summer.

I have dry skin and hair, so I don't need to wash my hair more than once a week, and having a full body shower more than once or twice a week makes my skin itchy and flaky, no matter how diligently I moisturize.

every day.
my hair is naturally very oily so I have to wash it every day, the frustrating thing about this is I have a hard time finding shampoo for oily hair that doesn't smell like grapefruit or tea tree oil, which are two smells I really don't like.

Witch hazel, maybe?

I kinda lucked out in the fragrance department because I'm not allergic to much.

I love oatmeal based formulas for cosmetics during the summer, they keep me from looking red or sunburned.

Daily showers and mild shampoos please...

I usually shower every day because I sweat a lot (especially when I sleep). There have been days where I skip a shower, usually on weekends where I feel overwhelmed and have nowhere to go.

I wash my hair 2-3 times a week so on days I don't wash my hair I have it up with a hair clip. If I don't want my hair/hairline to get even just a little moist, I have a shower cap to put over my hair.

It doesn't really matter what time of year it is, I generally shower every day. Took me a lot of years to work up routines that work for me though, my mid-20s was when I began to feel better about how I tackle my hygiene. Small wins for a CPTSD riddled nuerodivergent.

I wash my hair once a week--I'm exeprimenting with dry shampoo to try and wash it even less if possible? I'm not seeing results yet though.

In winter I shower every two days; at times use damp towelettes to refresh on the "not" day if I feel gross.
I summer I shower once every day and might also do the refresh thing if it gets really hot and yucky.

I shower every day, but different types. Some days are just wash the smelly parts plus face, quick showers. About 2-3 times a week is longer showers. And 1-2 times a week is hair washing.

Every day, sometimes twice a day. Since I can't have caffeine, showers wake me up. Plus with the mop on my head I have to wash my hair in the shower. It's impossible otherwise. (I do only wash my hair twice a week, though.)

Once, sometimes twice a week if I've been particularly sweaty. Like others up thread, I also have naturally oily hair and skin, and I used to have to shower every two days. But then I got a 100% boar bristle brush (NO PLASTIC). Brush my hair with it, dry brush my skin with it. The oil gets distributed and my hair looks and feels just as clean on day 6 as it did on day 1 and my skin is soooo soft. So now I shower after heavy lift day at the gym (once a week) and when I feel the need to (work/hot day/self-care).

Summer> short cold shower up to three times a day to get rid of the sweat. I use soap only once a day (usually evening) and I shampoo my hair once every two or three days, depending of how much my hair's greasy.

Winter> shower every two or three days. Sometimes my depression gets mildly bad, so I end up showering only once every five/six days. When my depression is EXTREMELY bad I shower once in 8-10 days. I hate it.
But if I'm good and my routine is solid, I shower every time after working out. Sometimes I work out every single day for a couple of weeks so I shower daily.
Shampoo only once a week in winter. More if I sweat because of working out.

I usually shower every day, but sometimes I'll skip if I'm not leaving the house. I wash my hair (straight, oily) 2-3 x a week. It takes a long time to dry now, back when it was shorter I'd wash it in every shower.
