Showers - do you have a "normal" routine when showering....

[December99]

I thought this might make good conversation -

When you take a shower (or bath - ICKY) do you have a normal routine that if you mess up it just messes your whole shower up? I do and once in a while, if I'm really tired, I will mess up and try to put my face wash on my hair (and I HAVE done that before).

I have to do one arm, then the other arm working my way around my neck from one side to the other and then the rest of my body. Then I have to rinse off and wet my hair and then wash and rinse my hair. After that I do my face. When it's time to shave I have to my underarms first, then do my washing routine, and my legs always get done last.

If I am so tired and I get confused on my routine - it just blows my day. I also have a routine about when I do other things in the morning - taking meds, brushing teeth, etc.

I know - I'm weird!!!! So anyone else????

Always in the same order or I have to start over.

Wash my face
Wash my hair
Shave
Bath

I am a creature of habit too. I have a shower routine. The other day I only took a bath in the morning instead of a shower and it really threw me off.

wow no, I do not have a set routine. Sometimes it is shave first then shower, sometimes it is wash hair then shave then wash body. I just depends. Usually it is showering. I do baths when I want to relax and read a book for a bit or something.

I try and catch a quick nap in there first... Only thing I do "weird" is brush my teeth in the shower. Some of the other things I do I don't consider weird...but I ain't talking about that.

Always in this order:

Face
Hair
Body
Shave
Squeegie (sp?)
Spray daily shower cleaner on the walls and shower doors

Pretty anal retentive, I know.

Completely a routine.

Shampoo, wash face, shave anything that needs it, rinse
Conditioner, body wash, rinse

And we're done!

I have to wash my hair, bathe, and then shave. One morning I was drying my hair and it was just greasier than normal. I finally figured out that I had started my shower by bathing for some reason I can't remember, and I had apparently forgotten to wash my hair.

 

[Rajah]

Sorta:

Shampoo
Add conditioner
Let conditioner set while doing rest of self
Rinse out conditioner

Other than that, nope.

 

[shep]

wet hair
put shampoo in hair
shave
use soap
rinse
dry

 

[MerryPoppins]

Uh, no. As long as I get it all done, I don't care about the order.

 

[JasonLyons]

I change it up all the time, I live on the edge

 

[browneyes]

If I don't lather, rinse and repeat like it says to do on the shampoo bottle, I feel like I'm cheating myself out of something good.

From the moment I enter the bathroom, I have a routine. If I didn't, I would forget my meds or something. I am on autopilot.

25 minutes from door to dressed normally, compressed to 15 if I get a 'Dad, I forgot I need to be at school early.' Same order, just a quick once over.

I not only have a shower routine, but I have a morning routine and when it gets messed up it is difficult for me to get back on track and out of the house on time. This morning I messed up my routine....forgot my breakfast and my vitamins for the day.

Okay, I'll confess....I brush my teeth in the shower too! Everyone in my family does.

I do not have a cast in stone routine.

But my DH does, all the way down to how many minutes he spends on each part of the routine (brush teeth a certain number of strokes, lather hair for a certain length of time, etc.) It wouldn't matter if the President of the United States was waiting downstairs in our living room for him!! He's not altering one second of that routine for anything!

Drives me bonkers!
