This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Every body is different, but generally for most people every 2-3 days tends to be the sweet spot for a full shower with shampoo, conditioner, etc.

Personally, I have greasy hair problems, and I ultimately found that showering less frequently made the biggest improvement of all of the changes I made. I'll generally shower every 2-3 days, and if I do something that makes me sweaty I'll hop in the shower and rinse off without using any product between those every other day showers

On the other hand, for OOP, they're making some big changes and probably need the consistency of every day to help maintain the habit they're building

I'm an old guy and have been showering daily since I was young. I feel itchy when I go 48 hours without showering. Never had any significant skin issues.

But there's a pretty big difference between every three days and every month.
