Poll: Shampoo, or Body Wash first?

[perfectionist]

Shampoo first and then body wash

 

[Xixikal]

Shampoo once - rinse.
Repeat.
Conditioner > body wash
Rinse.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Body wash.

Body wash is my guilty pleasure, though...I have a collection over 120 bottles big, with no repeats.

Yeah, I'm weird.

I use the body wash first so it gives the shower time to get rid of the shittonne of bubbles I seem to generate.

 

[Jamash]

I apply the shampoo and work it into a lather, then while it's doing it magic I use shower gel on my body for a few minutes, then I rinse and repeat.

If I washed my body first and applied the shampoo last, I'd have 2-3 minutes of wasted time as I'd have to stand away from the water doing nothing while I waited for the shampoo to do it's thing.

Once upon a time, I was told by my mother that you are supposed to shampoo first because "It'll wash off the body wash." Now that I am older and not quite as stupid, I realize this is bull. So, just wondering, which do you do first?

Wha?

Firstly, why?

Second, I just want to be clear on your statement. Your mother told you, when you were younger and ostensibly stupid, that the correct order for bathing was:
1. Shampoo. No products on your body at all, apply and clean shampoo.
2. Nothing, you just rinsed the body wash that wasn't there anyway off with shampoo.

Huh?

It's best to go with gravity, especially if you have acne or don't like your face to smell like ass/genitals/armpits. Plus, in a few years when you start liking girls, you may also start using other products such as conditioner. Rather than stand there under the water for 5 minutes like a tool, you can apply the conditioner and then go about the business of cleaning the rest of you, then rinse. It's one of the simplest forms of multitasking.

Also, I brush each side of each tooth 20 times, and I squint a bit when I take a dump. You seem interested in these sorts of things.

Shampoo then soap on the body. Top-down is logical and I do like my logic.

 

[Artina89]

I shampoo first, then I use body wash. It's just the way I have always done it, and I am not inclined to change now. It would just feel weird if I attempted to do it any other way

 

[Scarim Coral]

Shampoo since in my view my hair to be so greasy and messy that it need to be wash first.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I just leave the shampoo in while I do the shower-gel thing, and wash it all off in one go. Saves time, although the shampoo does occasionally get into one's eyes.

i have all in one, it's generic green goo that costs 10p a bottle and it washes real good too.v

i generally follow gravity, but sometimes start on my arms or chest out of randomness.

Why is one option a whale, and the other body wash? d:

Was going to ask that m'self..


Honestly, I go form top to bottom, dump some soap on my head, and scrub down, rinse and occasionally repeat.

 

[Gaiseric]

Well damn. Seems like I'm in the minority here. I don't use body wash. Ever. I used it for a brief few months many years ago until I realized it didn't get me any cleaner than normal soap which was a lot cheaper.

But I do wash my hair then use bar soap.

 

[suitepee7]

shampoo, shampoo again, conditioner, then whilst the conditioner is in my hair use body wash, then wash my face

 

[thylasos]

Body first, then hair. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's how I do it.

 

[FamoFunk]

Shampoo first, then conditioner while you use the body wash.

This. Honestly thought I was the only person to do this. Then again I don't really go around asking people, good olde Escapist!

 

[Tallim]

Shampoo first, then conditioner while you use the body wash.

This is how I do it too. Just seems the most logical order to do it in.

 

[Amberella]

I tend to shampoo my hair first, then put the conditioner in, leaving the conditioner in my hair I will wash my body off, then condition my hair. After that I will wash my body again. <.<

 

[Karlaxx]

Shampoo. I don't really know how it's more efficient or what have you, but I just resolved to wash from the top down, so I start with my hair.

 

[StormShaun]

I usually use shampoo, then cond , but I feel to lazy to use body wash afterwards...damn.
