What is the recommendation of how often you have showers?

[MySilverSoul]

Just like not showering often, if you shower too much, can that be bad for you as well? I heard that if you shower every day, it does something to your hair, does it do anything to your body?

When no one will queue behind you in a busy supermarket, then it is time. (I have seen this happen - a man who stank so badly that no one could stand near him. I was surprised the cashier didn't bale out)

[MySilverSoul]

But is there a limit - what about if you have them TOO often, like every day?

[ummmm]

Everyday is not too often! You don't have to wash your hair everyday.

[MySilverSoul]

I never have showers every day anyway - but I read somewhere that if you have showers too often it can damage your hair.

[Meg888]

I don't think showering everyday will damage your hair, if it just gets wet (or wear a shower cap) it's the shampooing & conditioning that supposedly damages the hair. In saying that, I shower every day & shampoo daily too - but I'm getting to a certain age & after night sweats my hair is like the wild man of borneo so I don't really have a choice...

[ummmm]

I just lower the shower head. Do you bathe the days you don't have showers?

[MySilverSoul]

Yeah - may be just rumour. I'm going to keep on showering without any worry then.

I shower and wash my hair every morning. I'm drawing a pension with a full head of hair so can't be that bad

[mazie]

I couldn't start the day without a long soak in the bath. I don't like showers, I get a bit panicky

[fbg40]

I shower once a month, whether I need it or not.

it could probably dry your skin out.

[MySilverSoul]

That's what I thought.
