Bath or Shower?
Shower to get clean, bathe to relax, de-stress, share, etc.
Bar of soap or body wash?
Body wash. I hadn’t had an actual bar of caked soap in my home forever, but recently discovered these kiddie soaps that are sold in fun scents and encased in a netting/scrubby type thing, brought some home to encourage my darling son to be more hygenic.
Washcloth or poofy thing?
Poofy thing for shower, washcloths for face washing throughout the day.
Approx. how long do you take?
About 20 minutes, longer for deep conditioning the hair or the really thorough shaving experiences.
Do you use conditioner?
Always.
Hot or cold?
Good ol’ warm, generally. Way hot on cold winter mornings. Does anyone actually take cold showers?
Is the scent or brand of the soap/shampoo important?
Scent’s unimportant, as long as it smells nice which is basically any of them except maybe the medicinal shampoos. I’m not brand-faithful per se, but it’s got to be suited for my hair texture. Actually, I’ll use way cheap and cool smelling shampoo’s like Suave, but blow big money on good conditioners.
Do you feel tearless or baby shampoo is somehow “inferior”?
Well, never thought about it that way, but sorta. Only as it relates to being inappropriate for my hair type, not strong enough to get all the styling product out, not enough conditioners so my hair is left feeling like wet straw.
