Going to Pre school with very greasy hair

Would you?

I've been ill on and off for ages (bad cough, cold, ears blocked etc) the whole house has. I’ve just been getting through the days until it passes.
Dropped Dd this morning after her being on holidays from school.
Currently sat/lay down on the sofa not wanting to move.
I have to pick her up later, which involves going to the classroom inside, seeing other parents etc and the teacher often stops me for a chat. This morning was easier as I dropped her at the front part and escaped 🙈
My hair is long and needs a good wash, but I’m so tired. Would you go to school like this or force yourself to wash it?
Am I gross? 😫

Do you have any dry shampoo for your roots? Then throw it up in a bun?

I am well aware of how taxing it is or isn't going to the hairdressers it's a favourite passtime of mine. You obviously aren't struggling to get off the settee with your chronic illness the OP was.
Do you eat cake while you are in there?

You have no idea what you are talking about. When I’m ill I struggle to get dressed, every movement is agony and I am overwhelmed with fatigue. I know fine rightly what it is like. That’s why I made a sensible suggestion of what I do to try and help me feel and look good during flare ups.

i washed it, feel better and wasn’t as bad as I though, just wasn’t looking forward to drying it etc as it’s long. Now slumped back down. No make up though and I really do look like shit 🙈
I envy those who can go barefaced and look good/ok still

Drying is worse than washing my opinion. I prefer to let mine dry naturally, and if I don't have time, I stick it in a bun/plait/pony tail and dry the visible bits.

Don’t wash it. Call it hair training!
