- Wash my hair with bar soap, lathered in my hands and transferred up to my head. Excess lather goes on my upper body.
- Rinse, apply shampoo. Brush in vigorously with a medium bristled brush. Excess lather goes on my body, getting lower (if you know what I mean) than before with the bar soap.
- [Added] With the brush, scratch every part of my back that I can reach.
- With a soapy wash cloth, arms, head and ears, and so on, working down to the toes.
- Rinse my hair.
- Apply conditioner. Excess goes under arms and other places.
- Wash unmentionable parts very good with lather from bar soap.
- Rinse entirely.
- squeegee off the shower walls and floor. This helps prevent mildew.
- Dry off.
It all takes ten minutes. If I'm in a hurry, I can do it all in nine. I should have made that the top ten list, but maybe nine will do. Well, last night I forgot the # 3 back scratching part with the brush. That keeps the crusty brown patches from growing there.
Scrubbing my hair with the brush is the reason I haven't gone bald. I've done that since I before I was twenty. Tim is trying this and found that a little hair is growing back. The last time I checked with him it was.
Once in a while I get carried away with ideas for blog topics and lose my rhythm. This gets me out of the routine and who knows what I skip or have to do over again. I can't carry my little notebook into the shower. I should just get out and write my brilliant idea right then and there.

Last night on Dave Letterman, there two cute ladies from Oakdale, Louisiana. Both had touched a dead guy. More than one. One lady was a coroner's assistant, her sister-in-law was a registered nurse.
Some of the other parts of Dave's show were pretty raunchy.
Your ancestors must have used the same hair washing routine. They had hair too. C.V. who is always well kept, doesn't seem the type to scrub his hair in the shower. How did he keep his hair??
ReplyDeleteHe was the one who taught me this secret. [C.V. is my Dad, he's 96 years old and still has almost hair as I do.]
ReplyDelete..
It is way too early for you to be up blogging.
ReplyDeleteAdi is so cute! After I give my dog a bath he runs around the house like crazy!! It must be a dog thing!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a beagle... in the 70s. She was a great dog and loved to get a bath and swim in a lake or pool... whatever was available! But somehow she always managed yo get away as soon as ahe was dry to roll in the grass or dirt... Beagle smell came right back!
