I'm not exactly sure how long, but definitely longer than 5 days. Sometimes if I get really disgusting feeling or stinky I might do a washcloth bath. When I do shower I often just shower from the neck down. For some reason, washing my hair is particularly hard for me to do when depressed.

Even when not really depressed, I don't shower every day on disability, but I do shower or wash up more often. When I was working full-time, I showered pretty much every workday and some weekend days, but washed my hair every other workday. Washing my hair every day would actually not be good for it, unless I had been sweating a lot. My hair is not oily. My hair has grown quite curly as I've grown older. I can easily get away with days without washing it and have it still look good...to a point.
