[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of this.  Every white person i know washes their hair everyday.  Why do you think it's a trend? Do what you want with your hair. [/quote]

In the 60s it was standard to wash hair once a week to hold a "set." Sometime in the late 60s a shampoo ad came out (might have been Prell) saying it was so gentle you could wash your hair every day. Hairstyles became looser and more casual.

I remember this from reading teen novels and advice stuff in the 1960s (graduated h.s. in 1972 by which time of course it was all long straight parted in the middle hair). If you ask google you will find many sites where the once a week shampoo was standard at the time.

I don't shampoo daily because I wash it in the shower and I shower every other day because of extremely dry skin (all my life) which is prone to eczema and itching (dr. said no daily showers). Aging has made my hair drier as well, although I can feel slight oiliness by the end of the second day.

You can also let your hair get wet without sudsing it up. [/quote]
Your doctor is giving you out dated information on daily bathing: https://nationaleczema.org/treatments/bathing/[/quote]
It's not outdated!

Showering every other day is fine, particularly for people with dry skin.[/quote]
You’re posting articles from 2021 and 2024. The National Eczema org’s article was medically reviewed/posted in 2025.

Again, you have outdated information. [/quote]

NP, but kindly STFU and stay in your line.  [/quote]
No. False information needs to be corrected.[/quote]
My dermatologist says I can shower every other day. I shower every other day. My skin looks and feels great. It's not "false information." 
[/quote]
It is. It’s ok to admit you have outdated information. But insisting it’s still correct for those with eczema is the definition of false information.[/quote]
“Outdated information” like you’re posting a JAMA article lmfao. Gtfo.[/quote]
Oh boy so not only do you like to spread false information, you can’t read either. That’s a winning combination.[/quote]
DP Are you always this dramatic? Like, you're acting like she's posting misinformation from a Russian bot farm and it's a difference in opinion regarding showering...[/quote]
