It takes me 45-50 minutes alltogether to wash my hair and shower. When I say that, I mean the water is on for 45-50 minutes. I've been trying so hard to decrease this time, but it's not working. Any suggestions besides thinking about the water bill?
Answer:
It's all about multi-tasking and getting the right products. Most people can skip the second shampoo if they leave their shampoo on for longer. Also, shaving time can be cut down if you skip the shaving cream and shave after you wash your body and you are still soapy.Here is my routine:1.) Undress and do not turn on the water until you are in the shower. (No water time)2.) As soon as the water starts and gets to the right temperature, wet your hair and put a healthly amount of shampoo, concentrate at the scalp and massage for 30 seconds. DO NOT RINSE. (45 seconds)3.) Facial scrub. I use St. Ives and scrub my face for 15-20 seconds. (30 seconds)4.) Rinse hair and face. (10 seconds)5.) Put conditioner in hair, use claw clip to hold hair back. DO NOT RINSE. (30 seconds)6.) Wash my face with cleaser and rinse face only. (45 seconds)7.) Lather up loofah (to exfoliate and you won't have to use a body scrub if you are very diligent with how you use your loofah) and scrub from neck to toes. DO NOT RINSE. (2 minutes)8.) Use good razor and the lather from your body wash to shave where you need to. Rinse your body off. (3 minutes)9.) Undo hair and rinse conditioner out. (1 minute)10.) Turn water off.If you keep to that timelime, it's about 7 minutes. If you need to add products, just find out what you can do at the same time. Also use products that double . . . like 2-1 shampoo/conditioners, auto lather razors, body scrubs/washes.
well u could take a bath!
I have the same problem. Can I join you so that we can cut 1/2 the time and 1/2 the water bill?
heh heh.fine thumbs down for me...*sigh*...
Why does it take you 45-50 minutes? I have waist length hair, and I shave in the shower, and it doesn't take me more than a half an hour. What are you doing in the shower that's causing you to spend so much time? Maybe you could try say, shaving your legs with a large cup of water, sitting on the edge of the tub, instead of doing it in the shower, to cut down on time?
into the shower, wet your hair straight away, shampoo once, rinse it off, shampoo twice rinse it off.
apply conditioner, leave it in, then after washing your hands apply your facial cleanser, leave it on, then lather your body with the soap / shower gel.
then rinse from top to bottom, wash it all off. then, apply some extra soap to your delicate areas, and wash off straight away.
done!
tip: line up all of your products in easy reach, because when you put your facial cleanser on, you will not be able to see anything.
are you OCD? Do you count things while you are in there?
If you're close to a river, jump in the river and get it done. Or if not, use bottle water and clean yourself. It worked for my father. No-- just kidding. Just scrub extra fast; maybe drink like ten cups of coffee before the shower so you're in hyper mode.
There is no reason to leave the water on the entire time you're in there. We had to watch how much water we used for a while or we'd run the well dry. So we got wet, cut the water off, soap up, turn the water on and rinse. Same with the hair. Now, don't say you can't do that, because you absolutely can.
I feel sorry for anybody awaiting their turn. Is there any hot water left for the next in line?
In summer camp one year, it was 19 of us and 1 shower. With only a few times in the day we could use it. We learned to shower under a minute and the rule was, if you took over 2 minutes you'd have a bucket of cold water dumped into the shower. By the end, we had it down to an art form. We could wash our hair and do a full scrubdown in about 45 seconds. With the next person waiting nearby in a towel to jump in when the person ahead exited.
are you doing other things besides cleaning yourself? start playing with yourself outside the shower -- maybe invest in a vibrator and stop using the shower hear for arousal -- batteries are cheaper that water =)
Just turn the water off while you wash. Then turn it back on to rinse. I've done it before. It's decent. You can open up the curtain and move around better. Plus you don't have to worry about the water prematurely washing away the soap, and you're less likely to slip from all the rushing water. Plus, I feel like there's less pressure on me to get done, because I'm not wasting water.
