Woman sparks debate by revealing she showers only twice a week
In her viral video on TikTok, she explains the specific reason why she showers infrequently.
“I think it goes to show that this is more common than people think.
“I’m sure there are people who don’t shower and smell, but I don’t smell and I don’t need to wash my hair, so why would I shower?”
She mentions that she only showers when she needs to wash her hair and prefers not to wash her hair daily.
“If I’m getting in the shower, I’m going to wash my hair.
Why would I get in the shower and not wash my hair? But I don’t want to wash my hair every day.
“So I’ve had to start saying that I ‘wash my hair twice a week’ – but I only shower twice a week.”
She has come to realize that compared to many others, she may not adhere to the same cleanliness standards.
She also shares that she has bought a shower cap following suggestions from others.
Allison continues: “So I’ve recently found out that I am in fact a gross human being.
“This is because most girls when they say that they wash their hair twice a week literally mean wash their hair – and they shower every day.
“I only shower once or twice a week. I’ve gone five days without showering before.”
Experts debate ideal shower frequency for good health
According to WebMD, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to how often one should shower.
Some doctors recommend daily showers for most people, while others believe that showering two to three times a week may be sufficient.
They argue that less frequent washing can actually be better for maintaining good health.
Social media reactions
While some people have been shocked by her showering routine, others have praised her for speaking out on this issue.
Some agree that showering can be tiring, empathizing with her perspective.
For some, showering feels like a mundane chore, while others question the necessity of showering so frequently.
