Depends on when the shower is. Morning shower:  
1 Get nekkid, turn on water, use the couple seconds it takes to heat up to take my glasses off.  
2 Wash hair, using 2-in-1 Loreal Kids Quick Drying Shampoo - this stuff ROCKS.  
3 Leave shampoo in hair for time being.  
4 Wash: staring with left arm, then right arm, torso, left leg, right leg. I’m mildly OCD about this. Using whatever soap product is available.  
5 Wash face using some random Nuetrogena face wash.  
6 Rinse all over. Exit shower. Put in contacts. Brush teeth. Clothe, etc.

Evening, after TKD class:  
\*Pull hair up to avoid soakage.  
Repeat above 4-6, only without the contact lense nonsense.

And yes, I do shower twice a day most days. Because I need it to wake me up in the morning, but then, I’m so sweaty after working out in the evening, I can’t do anything without cleaning myself up.

It works with ok results. It helps that I am trying to strip a semi-permanent haircolor, not a permanent one. I got the stuff at a discount beauty supply store. It’s green and comes in a little squeezy tube. It’s super concentrated so a little goes a long way.

There are a few other things you can do if you realize pretty soon after coloring that the color has gone horribly wrong, #1 is to wash your hair right away. Also stand out in the sun as much as possible. It tends to fade my haircolor pretty quickly.

Good Luck!

Oh, I use permanent haircolor. ☹ And I live in MN so no sun (at least, not recently…).
