Shower Questions :D

Dewgong

What kind of shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, etc. do you use? How often do you shower? Do you have a special routine during your shower?

...Just curious.
 
Shampoo/Conditioner: Brilliant Brunette stuff. Doesn't smell suspicious and actually works. I only use conditioner like once a week though :x my hair gets really greasy otherwise

I have this amazing body wash I got from Lush, actually! It's Chai and it smells amazing <3 I actually look forward to having a shower because of it which is slightly sad, really.

Shower routine...? I usually shower every day, because my hair and body insist on over-producing oil for some reason. :( Routine...? Uh, not really, but I turn around a lot.
 
First I shampoo my hair, then I wash my face, then I use my body wash. :V

I really don't care about brands or whatever as long as they smell decent and make me not look like I bathe in a deep fryer. Greasy hair over here too. Eeh.
 
Uhh.. well I wash my hair excessively with water, (I like to keep it clean for as long as possible without having to use products on it). Then I wash the rest of my body, (arms/torso/cough/legs), with whatever soap/body wash I can find lying around. Then wash my hands w/ bar soap(because I've recently used them to scrub the shit out of my oily hair), and wash my face last.


I brush my teeth somewhere during all that.

Edit: lol strange, I can't wash my hair with shampoo more than once otherwise it goes horrible.
I sing quietly (which is extremely quiet, given how quiet I am when i'm not being quiet), and unless i'm rushing (which isn't often,) i'm in there for 15 minutes minimum because I lose track of time.

I shower most days, and wash my hair every other day (every day and it goes dry, any more and it goes greasy). I normally use Herbal Essences for Normal Hair (which is bright green and smells fantastic), unless I'm at home, in which case I use whatever's around, which is normally Herbal Essences for Coloured Hair (my sister's).
At the moment I use an absolutely fantastic lime-flavour shower gel called (I think) Original Source.
I don't use conditioner. It just makes my hair greasy and I quite like pulling tangles out of my hair after a shower; it's very theraputic :)

I shower at very strange times; I don't like showering first thing in the morning, and for a while I was in the habit of showering at 2am-ish, but I got worried the running water might keep people up, so I try and limit my showering times to hours in which normal people are awake.

I normally shampoo my hair twice, wash my body with shower gel + scrunchie and then shampoo again. This normally takes about five minutes. According to everyone else, I take absurdly short showers, but I don't like staying in there any longer than I have to.

Oh, and I don't sing in the shower, ever. I don't know why.
 
I tend to use whatever soap is lying around...that or Axe Shower Gel/Adidas Shower Gel. As for washing my hair I have to use disinfectant shampoo since I stupidly didn't start washing my hair until I was 14. ><. I wash my hair every other day though and I try to shower every other day as well, or atleast take a bath. As for shower routines I get in the tub, let the water pour over me for about five minutes, later, let water hit me another five minutes, then I just scrub whilst letting the water pound down until I've listened to atleast three songs on my MP3 Player. ^__^.
 
Shampoo: Head and Shoulder, Fructis, or Body Soap/Shampoo combination

Body Soap: Whatever I have on me (XD Pun :D)

How often: Every day on Weekdays. Weekends, well, I don't shower. Too lazy >.> Sad thing is, my hair gets greasy within a day or less ;.;

Routine: Shampoo hair, lather body best I can, wash off body, wash out hair. Takes me 5 to 10 minutes, tops


EDIT: I wonder if Eevee will come in and say that this topic is useless without pics? :D
 
I'm an extremely dry, non-oily person, so I can and usually do go a few days between showers, because if I take them too often my annoying frizzy hair becomes impossible to control and my skin dries out horribly. But because of this, I don't stink and I don't get acne, so that's good. :3

As for soaps and such, I basically just buy and use whatever smelled good at the store. For me, nothing but the most expensive stuff makes any difference, and I'm too cheap to buy that. Though I wish I had that Chai stuff Tailsy has...mmm....Chai...

No specific routine, though I do tend to sing in the shower. :v

^ I'm like this too, and I also had a habit of showering absurdly late. o_O
 
I shower in the evening, otherwise there's nothing special I do. I try to shower once a day. I'm pretty ordinary about this showering stuff.

Shampoo: Dove/some Vietnamese brand, I alternate.
Conditioner: Dove
Body Wash: Vietnamese stuff. Smells great.

Yeah, I use whatever my mom buys, though sometimes I do get my own stuff if I'm going with her on a shopping trip.
 
I shower once daily, sometimes twice. I wash my hair daily and condition it whenever I feel like. From stepping into the shower and getting out:

I get wet.
I wash using Nivea for Men shower gel (or Vaseline for Men. occasionally lynx)
I wash my hair.
Depending on the day, I condition it.
I luxuriate.
Wash body once more.
Rinse conditioner from hair.
Luxuriate.
 
I shower every day, or at least every long period of being awake since I sometimes don't shower until four in the morning. I generally shower at night/a few hours or less before going to bed. I also wash my hair every day. No conditioner unless it's one of those two-in-one things.

As for the brands, I believe shampoo is whatever was on sale a few months ago though I don't pay attention to it. I use Camay bar soap.

Routine... didn't pay much attention before but yeah, it usually goes like this:

1. Start the water and wait for it to warm up while spraying it on my feet.
2. Get wet.
3. Wash hands.
4. Use soap to wash my arms, then hands, then my body, then hands and my legs and feet. Rinse throughout since I'm under the shower spray.
5. Wash hands. Sometimes twice.
6. Shampoo, then rinse. Test if my scalp is still oily. Shampoo again if it is, then rinse again.
7. Wash hands.
8. Repeat step four.
9. Wash hands.
10. Turn off water and dry.

Sometimes I pause during this while letting the water hit me while I think about stuff.
 
hnrr. Well, we don't have a shower in my house right now (finish renovating jamie it's been like 2 years hurry up) But I bathe and use the shower at moony's house~ I generally bathe every other day, since my week tends to be really buisy and my hair gets dry if I wash it too much.

So, bath routine I guess.

1 - Turn on water. Make sure it's really hot.
2 - Undress and stare at own face in mirror while tub fills. Play with earrings.
3 - Get in! It's probably way too hot at this point, so add more cold.
4 - Read/play a video game and soak
5 - After a while, add shitload of shampoo.
6 - Shave
7 - Rinse hair and get out!

There you have it. C:
 
(cue NWT with that bushy-tailed stick figure)

I shower for fun a lot. Even when I'm showering for utility, chances are I'll forget and end up just daydreaming under the water for half an hour. I lovvvvve showers and rain and anything else involving thin streams of water coming down on me~~~~~ |3~

I shower every day and wash/condition my hair every second; longer and my hair gets greasy/knotted. I don't just mean tangled; I mean knotted. I have no fucking idea haow. I have no idea what the brand of shampoo/conditioner I like is named, but I know how its logo generally looks (can't remember what letters it has though) and I know what the bottles look like.

Routine is whatever the fuck and always involves a lot of standing around daydreaming or singing. If the water goes cold, I stay in and keep loving it.~
 
Shower twice a day. Always hot water. I use a bar of non-perfumed soap. I wash my hair once every two days. I wash my hair first, then my body.

I'm still looking for an alternative to soap for washing my hair. I'm going to try baking soda.

I don't touch shower gel, shampoo or conditioner for health reasons. There's so much conflicting evidence on the harm the ingredients used can do, and I don't want to take my chances. Ever since I stopped using it, I have noticed a general health improvement, especially in the time taken to recover from scratches, cuts, bruises and muscle damage.
 
I generally shower once every two days, and I wash my hair then. The shampoo I use is Herbal Essences Normal Hair Moisture Balancing Shampoo, according to the label - it's an orange-ish colour - and the conditioner version of this, which is yellow. I tend to use Radox shower gels because I love their scent and they feel really nice on your skin. Well, at least on mine. I dunno about yours. ;3

I brush my hair before and after I shower because my hair can be awkward, and if I have my contact lenses in, which is most days apart from one day a week, I'll take them out before showering and use my glasses to see before I step in the shower, when I take them off.

I usually shower in the evening at about 10pm so my hair can dry while I sleep, and often it tends to be easier to brush in the morning because it's not completely dry. Umm, I do sing in the shower occasionally, but barely ever because when I sing at home, I prefer that either I'm alone so no-one can hear me, or I know where people in my house are and can guess that either they can't hear me or they can't hear me very well.

I never take cold showers other than on holiday in a hot country; here in England I use warm water, but not too hot. My routine is to wash my body and my hair with water, then shampoo my hair, then wash it off, then put conditioner on my hair, then wash my hands with water because they usually have conditioner on them, then use shower gel to wash my body and finally wash my body and hair with water.
 
I use whatever is there, it all works, right?
Shower once a day, before school on weekdays and usually around midday on weekends (unless I'm going out somewhere before that time).
Routine usually consists of: daydream, wash with soap, daydream, wash hair, daydream, get shouted at for being in the shower too long, get out.
 
I used to have both shampoo and conditioner in Herbal Essences (sp?), but then I ran out and had to use my moms (infusium) which worked better. So now I use Herball Essences (again, sp?) Dandruff Shampoo (yes I just said that so) and Infusion (moistur)ologie conditioner.

As for body wash, I just grab the body wash bottle.

As for my routine, I

1. Use the bathroom (in the toilet, dun worry) while the water warms up.
2. Get in the shower and just stand there daydreaming until the water starts to get cold.
3. Warm it up again by turning it up and either a. Repeating step 2 and beginning of 3, b. shave if I need to, or c. shampooing my hair.
4. If the latter, I then condition my hair.
5. Wash with body wash.
6. Get out and towel off.
 
Shampoo and body wash stuff are both sensitive-skin ones I get prescribed because of my eczema. The shampoo smells awesomely strange :3

As for a routine... none really, just chuck water over myself for a while, wash my hair and get out. :3
 
I tend to fiddle around with the knobs until the temperature is absolutely perfect but before that I stare at myself in the mirror while waiting for the hot water to come through. Then I usually get in and stand there for about five minutes in a daze before I realise that I'm wasting water and time. I use this shower gel stuff that smells like caramel (<3) with one of those exfoliating flannel things. If I need to wash my hair I usually use Tresemme, which is the best thing for my hair so far. I often have to wash my hair every second night. Then I shave if I need to and stand in a daze for a little more, turn the water off, wring out my hair and get out. I don't use conditioner because my hair's fairly strong so brushing tangles out isn't really a problem and rarely hurts; it's also difficult because my hair is really thick so it's difficult to get it all through my hair anyway. I nearly always shower at night because I hate sleeping if I feel unclean. It's comforting to be all warm from the shower and then go to bed all squeaky clean~
Sometimes I sing in the shower, mostly I pretend I'm making fun of people that irritated me that day. xD
