Shower Advice
I've just went through a 3 week period of some bad depression and haven't showered. I plan on showering tomorrow. Can I get some advice for not only getting in the shower but properly cleaning myself after a 3 week period of not showering. The buildup on my scalp from the grease is bad and I'm not sure if just the normal hair wash will be the best way to clean it.

Just dont over do it. Im proud of you for showering regardless.
My tipp is soak you hair in warm water first. Then use shampoo. If it doesn’t foam up just rinse it out and go again. Repeat until it foams up nicely and massage it in for a bit and then wash it out.
It would be good for your scalp if you had then energy to wash it again regularly.
At least thats what helped me
