In the United States taking a shower every day, shampooing your hair and using an antiperspirant (or at least a deodorant) became an unwritten rule of hygiene sometime back in the 1940s. Bath and body wash, soaps, skin treatments and hair care have burgeoned into huge industries. The mighty dollar fuels much of so-called healthcare boom.
Your shampoo bottle instructs you to, "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." Know why? Back in the 1950s a shampoo company decided to double their sales by leading customers to believe they need to wash their hair twice to make it really clean. They also added ingredients to make the shampoos think and create sudsy lather. You do not need sudsy lather to clean anything. Thickeners only add more possibility for damaged hair and health.
The fact is washing your twice each day can lead to dry hair that will need extra treatments (more products) like conditioners and other treatments. Did you know the same holds true for soap? Your body does not need soap to get clean nor do you need chemicals to remove the bacteria that cause odors. Actually your body will not produce unpleasant odors unless your diet leads to purification of poorly digested food-common with American dietary habits. Your skin actually has its own way of protecting itself from bacteria. When you wash it away you wash away that natural protection. You also wash away the acid mantle
Nature provides for optimal health. In recent years a number of people (not anti-establishment types) have cut back the number of showers, shampoos and other hygienic habits held so dearly by Americans. For the most part, friends, family and business acquaintances have no clue about those changed habits - unless the person chooses to reveal that information. A recent article in the New York Times goes into depth on that topic. Read the details here and decide which contributes ore to your own health and happiness: daily showers, double shampoos and deodorants OR less frequent showers, shampoos and deodorants.
