ClawedButler · 27/05/2021 10:54

Did you mean to post this on MN or was it intended as a text?

The owls are not what they seem.

If I was going out Saturday night (if only!), I'd not want to wash my hair any later than Friday night. It would look better if I did it tonight though.
Day 2 hair is my best hair.

Just washed my hair.

Librariesmakeshhhhappen · 27/05/2021 11:01

Did you mean to post this is style and beauty? It would make sense in that topic.

But if I was going out Saturday, I'd be doing my hair today and just refreshing my curls before heading out, otherwise it would be more frizzy and just get worse as the night went on.

@thistimelastweek

I can't have a bath cos there's a spider in it.
Well that makes perfect sense Grin

I don't get the OP though. Is it a cultural reference I am too square to understand?

Ijustknowitstimetogo · 27/05/2021 11:06

@cheezy

Why can’t you wash it? Mine gets a bit wild and frizzy when I wash it and takes a few days to settle and look good. Is it like that?
Mine is exactly like this as well. I often wonder why more people don’t have this issue!
ShirleyPhallus · 27/05/2021 11:08

No I’m totally with you, my hair is filthy but I’m going out tomorrow so I can’t wash it today

If I wash it today, it will have lost shape by tomorrow evening. So I will need to rewash it tomorrow. And frankly, who has time for that. So I leave it an extra day and wash it tomorrow instead.

No need for biscuits.

Hoppinggreen · 27/05/2021 11:09

I’m going to wash mine about 12 before I meet my friend for lunch.
I was going to do it last night but I did some ironing instead.

Confused

and this is why people still read the DM

GypsyWanderer · 27/05/2021 11:14

Did you create an account with the username ‘washingmyhair’ to share that you couldn’t wash your hair?

As a side note, I washed my hair this morning so I don’t have your problem I guess.

greatauntfanny · 27/05/2021 11:21

Yeah, I wouldn't wash it on a Thursday if I way going out on Sat night either. I'd wash it on Friday night.

Wash it on Thursday and it wouldn't feel fresh enough for Sat.

Wash it on Fri night and it would be just right.

Wash it on Sat morning and it would be all over the place in Sat night (it takes at least 12 hours to 'calm down' and remember how to act.)

I definitely wouldn't wash it Thurs AND Fri because I couldn't be bothered and it isn't good for hair to be washed every day. It would probably panic and produce extra grease or something.

So either this is an attempt at being funny - didn't work

or

OP has such a fixed mindset that cannot comprehend washing hair more often

PlanetOfTheApesLives · 27/05/2021 11:25

@warmandtoasty2day

Nope. A joke has to be 'funny' well at least to some.

I think OP was bored and making a 'statement'. OP might have frizzy hair that takes time to calm down or is saving money by washing less blah de blah

And went to the trouble of name changing to make this post. I don't get it.
StevieNix · 27/05/2021 11:29

There is no law that says you can only wash it once. How bizarre! Either wash it if you want to, or don’t - but don’t make a drama over some arbitrary self imposed restrictions!

Nitpickpicnic · 27/05/2021 11:30

I’m with ya, sister. I had the same dilemma earlier today.

Freshly washed my hair is fab, then downhill until Day 3 ponytail/topknot day.

Luckily a new 7 day lockdown was announced this afternoon, so the problem disappeared on its own- along with all my plans!

Lovemusic33 · 27/05/2021 11:32

So sorry your life is so hard OP 🤣🤣🤣, it must be horrible rationing shampoo and only being able to wash your hair at the weekend 😬

espressoontap · 27/05/2021 11:33

I wash mine every day.

Just wash your hair, you heathen Hmm

Sisisimone · 27/05/2021 11:36

I dont get it. Is there some rule I'm not aware of that says you can't wash your hair more than once a week?

MedusasBadHairDay · 27/05/2021 11:36

Is this actually a coded message? Is someone scouring MN looking for a signal?
