Opinions of bathing:


"Is bathing everyday bad for your skin"


It is not bad for your skin. During the day you sweat and get dirty, and that needs to be washed off by the end of the day. Use soap or body gel on your skin, and it should be fine. If pieces of hair are falling out, maybe it's the shampoo you're using. I'd suggest switching to a different shampoo that strengthens hair (you can find them at Rite Aid or Wal-Mart, trying using a brand like Pantene or Garnier). If you have long hair, dead hair could just be falling out and will be replaced with new hair. If it's not coming back, however, see a doctor. Hope it helped! :)"


You lose at least 50-100 strands of hair a day. This is normal, why do you think that people showers get cogged? It's because we lose so much hair, so people lose more than others. 
And I heard that washing your hair every other day is good, but I'm not sure why. I always wash my hair everyday, because if I don't it gets oily.
I also think that people should shower every day!!
hope this helps(: "
