Hello again guys, this sounds so simple but I know we have different things to do first during our bath time. Some they would first wet their hair and shampooing it before fully wetting themselves. Or, other way around. As for me, my usual way is, wetting first my whole body,apply bath soap,another mild bath soap on my face and rinse before shampooing my hair..if I would be in hurry after soaping my whole body I would go straight to shampooing and rinse and it's done... How about you guys..what is your system in taking a bath? Do we have same style? Come on, let;s talk about it...

To start off with,I make my body and hair wet. Then I shampoo my hair and rinse it off. After this I apply conditioner to my hair. Then I go on and work on my body. This way the conditioner gets to stay in my hair longer. Once I am done with my body, I rinse off both the conditioner and the soap on my body at the same time, under the shower.

Hmm, interesting question. I am cleaning myself " head to toe " which means, shampooing at the very first place, then cleansing foam for my face, then take some liquid soap on my palm and start to rub my chest hair ( Although I am Chinese, I have a lot of chest hair :p ) . The last area will be toes, I clean it with small brush and soap. Then after I feel satisfied and all my body has covered by intimate feeling with soap, I will rinse it very well, toweling and use my deodorant as the final touch.

My system in taking a bath is I normally would wet all my body first. If I have to wash my hair, I would shampoo my hair first and if I need to apply a conditioner, I would leave it on my hair for a few minutes and in the mean time I would brush my teeth and wash my face with a facial cleanser. After that, rinse my hair and apply shower gel or a bath soap all over my body, rinse and I am all clean and fresh. If I don't have to wash my hair, I would skip that part, jump to brushing my teeth and so on.

This is my bathe routine. 1. Wet my body 2. Apply soap all over 3. Shampoo my hair 4. Rinse thoroughly 5. Im done (yeah I know) Pretty quick isn't it. But I really don't feel the need to repeat the process twice or thrice. Saves me water, soap, shampoo, and time..lol. ...by the way, I feel clean after bathing. :D

I always shampoo my hair first, so that I can get that done, and relax in the bath or the shower with the soap, for however long I want.

I usually shampoo my hair first and put conditioner on it before bathing. I like to let my conditioner stay on my hair until I'm done with my body. It's good for the hair to let the conditioner stay on there for a few minutes.

Okay, for me upon getting wet when bathing, the first thing that I do is put my shampoo in my hair. I will then proceed to lather my entire body with my soap. Next, I will rinse the shampoo out of my hair and also rinse the back side of my body in the process. Then I will put the conditioner in my hair. Then I'll turn around and rinse the front side of my body. Finally, I will put my head back under the water to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. Honestly, I don't know why I do it this way, but is the way that I've done for as long as I can remember.

When I'm wet by rain, I usually wipe my body before I go to bath. When I take a bath, I usually washing my hair by shampoo and after I take a shower with bath soap. I usually washing my hair and my body 2 times when I take a bath. After I take a shower, I use face's washing cream to clean my face.That's my habit. I don't know why and I cannot explain about that habit

hey everyone,,,,,really crazy subject to start a discussion about but i think its brillant its the things we doing in our daily routine that everyone does well most people,the clean ones anyways so its a great discussion as it applys to so many people all over the world,and i think the sequence would be different for everyone as everyone is different,different personalities etc,i think washing the hair is the best part of having a bath/shower so i always do that first its just not has much hard work and its quick ,so i would get that over and done with first shampooing and putting conditioner on i hope everyone used conditioner even men cos shampoo really does make your hair hard and stiff i would then leave the condition on for a wee while after 5 minutes on so i would then rinse it off ,then put on a face mask so it can stay on for a long time until finished applying soap to my body ,rinse the soap off and then rinse the face mask off and there we go pronto all done....so motto of this discussion we are different yet similar in our bath shower routine.....

I try to get wet first and then soap my face and body. I then shampoo my hair and rinse it followed by my favorite conditioner. WHile I leave the conditioner on to my hair, I soap myself again. Soaping myself again gives me time to let the conditioner set. After the second soaping, that's when I fully wash myself from ead to toe. I've been used to doing this system since I was young so I kind of don't know any other way to do it.
