[quote=Anonymous]Every hairstylist, dermatologist, and scientist I know says absolutely not to shower everyday and if you are sweaty, to just rinse off and not use soap.  You are stripping away needed skin oils, good bacteria, drying out your hair, ripping hair follicles, increasing split ends, ruining your nails, increasing skin conditions and rashes, and wasting so much water and ruining our environment.

And to the poster that said all other countries bathe their kids daily you are very much misinformed. I think Brazil, Colombia, and Australia are the only three countries ranked higher.  Most European countries bathe their kids twice a week.

I found this online and it is very interesting....

Cleanliness, it turns out, has been one dirty trick. One reason early-20th-century Americans ramped up their weekly baths to daily showers is that marketing companies capitalized on the insecurities of a new class of office drones working in close quarters. As Gizmodo wrote last week, to sell products like "toilet soap" and Listerine to Americans, "the advertising industry had to create pseudoscientific maladies like 'bad breath' and 'body odor.'"
