Hair washing

RuthTaylor

Hello All :-)

Does anyone here hate washing their own hair.  I tend to avoid washing my hair until it gets really greasy (not good I know).

I wash my hair over my bath with a shower hose and I try and do it as quickly as possible as I hate getting my face wet.   When I was a child, my mother used to wash my hair with a shower hose over the bath and I would have to put a flannel over my face.

If I'm at the hairdressers and have my hair washed over a basin it doesn't seem to bother me.

Just want to hear your thoughts, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • I didn’t enjoy it as a child, but I tolerated it.

    As an adult, I can only wash over the bath. Never in the shower. Hate water dripping in my face, and also the feel of wet hair on my neck and shoulders. 
    I wash it once a week anyway, as my hair is super curly. Once washed, conditioned, and styled, I have to leave it sopping wet so the curls remain defined, or else I’m left with frizz. I have a towel or two on my shoulders so I don’t feel much of the wetness, but I cannot relax, and have to give a quick blast with the hair dryer if it’s taking too long. (It takes hours to dry naturally).

    The next day I always have neck ache because of how tense I’d been because of the wet hair ugh.
