the more you wash the dirtier you get....

Do you agree?

I go through phases of slobdom.

Right now I am in a clean phase as I have a people facing job.
Therefore every morning I have a bath and wash my hair.

but this means that in fact if I don't do it (oversleeping for example once) I look utterly horrendous with greasy hair.
I am sure I did not look that bad when I only washed my hair every 2 or 3 days....

It does seem that the more you wash, the more you need to wash....

Some people on mumsnet are all like,,,,'ooh I shower three times a day and anyone that doesn't is disgusting'....

Maybe they are only dirty because they wash so much?

Or maybe having a clean and fresh look every morning makes you more critical of a slightly unwashed look?

It might be that you haven't changed but are more observant of your appearance now because of your job?

Agree with you with the hair. I can now go a week between washes, with a bit of dry shampoo, because that's what my hair is now used to. When I used to wash it more frequently I'd have to do it every 3rd day.

I still shower every morning though.

I think you are right. If your skin and hair is constantly having oils stripped off it by washing then it will produce more grease to compensate
