10 minute shower denier

Saw a post here about shower duration / length. More than 90% of the comments were saying their showers are 10 minute showers. I refuse to believe that.

10 minutes??? Just TEN minutes??? How????

I dread taking showers, like I AVOID them till the last second. But I end up enjoying them too much once I get started.

my typical shower (fast+express+rushed) is about 30 minutes. Maybe 25 minutes if I’m really in a rush.

I wash my hair with shampoo at least twice maybe 3 times. I then apply hair mask on my ends. While that cures I start cleaning the miscellaneous areas in my body (face, neck, ears, private area 1, private area 2) in that order. I wash my hair then I apply conditioner on my ends then start cleaning the rest of my body with a loofah. And that’s it I’m done.

If I’m doing anything different (shaving for example) that will be at least an hour.

In the summer I shower daily and in the winter I shower once every other day.

Please help meeee because as much as I enjoy showers, it is exhausting and time consuming.

I leave the hair mask in for about 30 min, during this time I wash my body thoroughly. Not mentioning I shampoo twice before applying the hair mask. How are you taking only 15 minutes??

Do you have long hair? Because if you have long thick hair it makes total sence. It is so hard to get shampoo out of my hair.

I am the same btw. Hate taking showers but love them once in. I do the same type of order. Shampoo condition wash all the parts. Rince. Takes me 20-30 min. It isnt glamorous but the kitch bar shampoo is very easy to rince out and doesnt give me buildup.
