higiene?

My hair is like my world, I make sure that its, washed and brushed everyday. kinda weird huh? I shower once a day. But if I forget to brus my teeth a day or 2 it doesnt really bother me.

 

This sounds gross, but I have friends who stink in about an hour after a shower. As for me, I can take one every couple days and I dont reek of garbage.

 

Thanks. I needed a solution to armpit stench

 

My hygiene is not so good by straight standards. I worked at an office and I was always being poked fun at for being the stinky one. I had a bottle of patchouli stashed in my desk for when it got a little out of control. One day I came home feeling a little extra stinky Jason hugged me and said "my onion patch" I felt better, then I had a shower.

Personally I feel that my hygeine is good. I compensate for the fact that I take long showers by showering every 3-10 days, sometimes throwing my hair up and hopping in for a quick wash in between. As long as I don't feel dirty I dont care what I smell like. I brush every morning at least, occasionally at night too. I try to wash my face and asscrack at night.

I use all organic hygiene products, i love them. I use the deodorant crystal which works great, much better than thos brand name organic ones, but it wears off after 24 hours and since it absorbs odors i only use it when I'm clean. That's why I get stinky and I keep the patchouli oil, grapefruit oil, some other oils and one of those forementioned brand name deodorants to cover up my stink every one in a while. My hairs really long and i like to wash it slowly and carefully, if that weren't the case, i'd probably shower more often. i never wear a pice of clothes only once besides undies if i wear em.I try to stay really minimalist with my clothes, not have alot of extra clothes. I own one load of luandry in clothes and one in sheets and towels. I like it that way, I HAVE TO do the laundry when it's all dirty, and thusly i have to do all of my laundry, no extra piles. When i was a kid i had a foot of clothes on my bedroom floor, i dont want to test my limits on the laundry thing.

I also think of it as saving water and money on all that extra soap and laundry all in all i'm happy with my hygiene.

 

If your not going to wear deoderant than dont hold your arms to your side.

 

I'm not really a hippie but I feel that I can honestly say that my hygiene is a pretty stellar A+. There's little I enjoy more than stepping into a warm shower or sinking into a hot bath so I almost always clean myself once a day. Brushing my teeth is a must two, three sometimes four times a day even. I'm pretty obsessive about my oral hygiene.. floss almost daily, mouthwash daily (sometimes swish with hydrogen peroxide.) Shaving isn't that important to me and I usually go without it but I don't consider it to be more hygenic either way. I use mostly natural products as my skin feels much better with them.

 

I have been making and using my own products a very long time. I make natural bath products including my own shapoo and conditioner, so I am not worried about what is in the products.

It depends on the season as to how many baths/showers I take.. When I want to relax and heal I use theraputic bath salts to sooth and relax after a strenous day. I will fill the tub with the hottest water I can stand and pour in the relief. There I will languish for as long as the water stays hot get out and dry off and wash my puppies in the same water to conserve. I also use the remaining water to use as grey water and put in on the yard and my plants.

Water Therapy is very healing. I shower more in the hot summer, again depending on the need, then I do in the winter, winter it is freezing cold in our bathroom and I can't stay in as long as I can in the summer.. sometimes I will go a couple of days before I get up enough courage to go in the icy bathroom and strip off the layers of clothing.

I would like to bathe/shower every day, bc of batceria and fungus, being in the healing feild, I know too much about germs to let myself go too far. If I can smell myself, I wash it off. I use a slice of lemon as a deoderant, even the crystals contain aluminum.

My hair I keep clean bc it gets stringy if I don't and it gets in my way (it's past my waist) and will get caught in doors, windows and other piculiar place. When it's clean it just kinda hangs out in one place.

My teeth, well, the ones that I have left, I brush in the morning and brush and floss every night. The reason I have lost so many teeth, is from not brushing and flossing everyday when I was younger.

My clothes, it will vary, depending on how dirty I get them. My tops I will change daily, unless I'm painting or something like that. My pants/jeans I will wear a couple of times. I change undies daily, but my bra (yes, I wear one now, it helps hold up my large boobies and saves my back) I wear for several days.

I went for weeks without bathing when I lived in the haight.. sometimes a bathroom wasnt availible or hot water. I use to bathe in the river when I lived in Oregon, but OMGGG the water was fridgid and you couldn't stay in long.

I shower daily, always use conditioner but to keep the color in my hair I dont shampo quite as often, but its fine.

I dont use hair product other than dyes, unless I feel like liberty spikes for a party or something.

brush my teeth twice a day, havent had a cavity since I was little

I use deoderant/antiperspirant; cologne if I'm going out or having ladyfriend company.

I'd say I keep myself in very good hygiene, the ladies always tell me I smell really good

 

i just love taking showers..usually before going to bed feeling like the water caries away all the stress i love being clean and smelling good i know couldnt go to long without that.
i wash my hair twice a week but i dont combe them dont see the need to..my oral higiene could be better tough, sometimes i forget to brush my teeth a day or two..anywayz yeh i think my higiene is good.

 

i enjoy showers....
they real relaxing..
and a place where i can reflect..

 

I work out 5 times a week so I shower 5 times a week.

 

eh i shower like 2 or 3 times a week

 

I have good higiene. I take a shower every night...however I dont always brush my hair but oh well at least it is clean...I brush my teeth at least 2 times a day because I dont want fillings - I already have one and it scared the hell outta me to it the first time. I wear a lot of deodorant, well not a whole lot but enough so that I wont stink...

 

being in school i think it's a must that i shower every day. although, when i'm at camp i can go weeks without showering. it seems like after 3 days my body gets used to not washing itself, and my hair doesn't get any greasier. but weirdly the day i DON'T have a shower, my hair is greasy as hell.

 

Hygiene?

I think that most of the stereotypical dirty Hippie ideas came from the 60’s and 70’s when a lot of Hippies were on the road and being for the most part pragmatic, if they had access to a bath or shower they used it and if they didn’t they didn’t worry about it. Thus were quite often several days (weeks, months, years) between personal clean ups.

As for myself I love baths and showers and could take 2 or 3 a day but know that even one a day is not really healthy. That’s because the body secretes natural oils and antibiotics that help to protect the body. So I try to shower every other day. Also I use Lava soap which takes off the dead skin and doesn’t seem to leave a residue

As a side note did you know that the polio epidemic earlier in the century was caused by parents keeping their children too clean?

 

I shower whenever I get up, after sporting activity (almost daily), and sometimes before I go to bed.

 

More than once a day is bad for your immune system. It also dries your skin.

 

I shower 5-6 times a week, wash my hair often, and brush my teeth once a dayusually in the morning and if I remember sometimes but rarely at night.

 

i shower usually every 2-3 days, but i wash my bangs like every other day, otherwise they get ridiculously greasy. I brush my teeth everyday of course, wash my face at night. i have pretty good hygiene :]
