How Do You Maintain Hygene

Actually it depends. My mom makes me take a shower every day. But when I'm away at college I really don't. I take a shower like once every three days or so. Only because I go to a bible college and you have missionary kids from Africa who don't know what a shower is. (That was a joke!!!) Anyway, I find hygiene obsession generally an american culture thing.

Just because I don't take a shower everyday doesn't mean I'm going to get a disease or suddenly come down with a skin infection or some such thing.

I don't know, it just seems to me that cleaning yourself every day serves only cosmetic purposes.

How do I maintain hygiene? By... cleaning myself? I take showers often, but sometimes I forget to brush my teeth. I also have tons of acne medication, if you consider that hygiene.

My teeth are nice and shiny white, see? > :D

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I don't floss. Never have, never will. I went to the dentist and he said that I had great teeth and that whatever I was doing I should keep it up. So... no flossing for me.
 
@ Dark Wolf X: Your name isn't needed as a tag, please keep tags relevant to the topic.

I take a shower at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day if I go jogging or do anything outside for an extended period of time. I try to brush my teeth after every meal, but there's a lot of times I get distracted before I can XD; I do at least twice a day though.
 
Maintain Hygene? I worship it!

I take showers in the middle of the night. It's because I feel like it. Lol
I brush my teeth 50 times a day. (Hey it's not because I have a bad breath >_>)
I wear clean clothes daily.

There seems to be this misconception that because I have dreadlocks, then I can't wash. I wash them thoroughly twice a week, and they don't need washing as regularly as normal hair anyway because they don't get dirty/greasy.

You sound to me like a teacher. Lol. Thanks for the remark ;D
What I meant from "fifty-times-a-day" was that I atleast do it 7-10 times a day. Lol.
 
Grr... I don't like washing my hair. It makes it all poofy and fuzzy, and I hate it that way.
But my hair was just that oily. I had to wash it because if I had let it fust any longer, I'd have oil rigs installed on my head.

I'm biting my nails right now. How unhygienic. I'll use some antibacterial, alright? Pshaw, like that'd help.
Washing your hands is very ineffective unless your hands are really dirty, since all those pesky bacteria will come back in the next two seconds.

Guys, don't brush your teeth after eating anything containing acids, including oranges, pomegranates, grapes, etc. You'll destroy your enamel.
 
Er no, that's not what I said. I said that my hair was /really really/ oily, so I had to wash it. Otherwise, I'd have died from drowning in my own oil. There was just that much.

AND WHY IS MY HAIR GROWING INTO MY EYES?
Stop poking me D:
 
No, I don't put oil in my hair.
Besides, what's this oil you're talking about? I have never heard of this stuff.

My head has this crazy ability to produce tons and tons of oil...

NO, MY HAIR WILL NOT FIX RISING OIL PRICES.
 
When it comes to hygiene, I'm not really one of those people who gets dirt on them and immediately have to get that off. I don't mind being a little bit dirty, but that's just me. I take showers when school is not in the way every other day. When school is in session, I take showers every school day. My showers, regardless of when I take them, last anywhere from 10-20 minutes. I tend to focus washing my hair the most during a shower. Usually when I first get in, I wash that then at the end I wash it two times; one time to wash it again and the last time to get it to smell like the shampoo. I don't really condition because it doesn't seem all that important to me and it makes my hair look really retarded and it doesn't stay where I want it to stay.

However, I usually wash my hands (when I'm not in the shower) as much as I can, because they tend to smell like copper a lot which I don't understand, really, seeing as how I don't really go around touching pennies or anything like that. Usually, I also wash my face afterwards.

For brushing my teeth, I tend to do that twice a day, even though it should be done for three, but meh. I brush my teeth in the morning and before I go to bed. Sometimes, I miss the time when I brush my teeth at night, so I spend more time in the morning brushing it. Although, that's not always the case because usually, I can't wait to finally finish and do whatever I plan on doing afterwards.

Y-You can't make up brushing time. You could damage your gums by brushing too long -___-

I never said I did. I simply said that I brush longer than I normally would. Besides, I didn't ask for any approval of the way I brush my teeth. I'll take that up with my dentist. But thanks anyway, I suppose. ^_^
