Water Saving Showers

[Mark and Mindy]

How does that work for shampooing hair?

Just asking.

And the environment

I have very short hair, so either use a washing up bowl round the back of the van or the kitchen sink, either way with a jug of warm water, doesn't need to be hot but definitely not cold. I use shampoo/conditioner combination so only one application. Quick to wash but because its thick can take couple of hours to dry. Usually wash every other day but can last 3 days. Water goes down the plug hole just like it would in the shower.

Oh yuk. In my professional life I can assure you that I wish more people had subscribed to this, religious or not!

Washing removes healthy oil and bacteria from your skin, so bathing too often could cause dry, itchy skin and allow bad bacteria to enter through cracked skin. As long as the sweaty bits are cleaned and use deodorant every day I don't see a problem. As for washing hair I have a shaved head so a wet wipe gives it a nice polish and the wife uses Bapiste dry shampoo.
