Pointless Bathing Poll

1. Bath or Shower?

Shower. I pretty much loathe baths unless they’re very hot and can be kept that way.

Soap or Body Wash?

Depends on my mood. I have both.

Wash Cloth or poofy thing?

Just rub the soap on my bod with my hands, but I use a washcloth to scrub “around back.”

How long?

30-45 minutes.

Do you use conditioner?

Every single time.

Hot or Cold?

I usually like it very hot, but cool-ish in the summer because my bathroom’s not air conditioned.

Is the scent or brand of the soap/shampoo important?

I will only use Aveda hair care products. Usually it’s Shampure, but for summer I’m using their Camomile stuff to bring out blonde highlights. The results with their products are noticeably better than anything else I’ve ever used, and I don’t need to use as much of the product, either.

I like Aveda and Origins body washes, and soaps by Origins, Yardley, and Oil of Olay.

Do you feel tearless or baby shampoo is somehow “inferior”?

Yes, because my hair feels disgusting when I use it (Johnson’s, anyway). Nothing I’ve tried compares to Aveda.

8. Do you feel tearless or baby shampoo is somehow “inferior”?
If it works for you, use it.

Baby shampoo is for pussies.
