At least 20 minutes b/c my hair loss is still raging so I spend like 10 minutes in the shower detangling and pulling out all detached hair :sad: :sad: :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2/page/2#post-2756664 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:18:48 +0000 mrskansas 2756664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 10 minutes probably. I do have really long, thick hair but it still doesn't take me that long. What are you guys doing in the shower for 20+ minutes?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756662 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:17:23 +0000 808love 2756662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Yikes!<br /> Yah... so about last night..I took a long hot bath because I'm obviously not getting clean enough with my &lt;5 min showers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756647 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 10:54:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2756647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I timed myself - ha!</p> <p>I didn't rush nor linger : 6 mins 17 seconds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756643 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 10:52:04 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2756643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Exactly.

It's one of many things that needs to happen during the day, quicker the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756594 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:25:48 +0000 Mamaof2 2756594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others that as long I as have too!</p> <p>If I need to take a quick shower I can shampoo in like 30 seconds, rinse, condition, wash body, rinse body, rinse hair and I'm done! So like 5 mins?</p> <p>If not in a rush I will get in and just stand in the shower relaxing for a few minutes and take my time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756593 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:22:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2756593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say I average 15-20. But we have a seat in our shower so I'll sit down and relax for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756567 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 08:46:45 +0000 cascademom 2756567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 minutes. It's all that I really have time for these days. It takes me longer to towel off and wash my face post shower. I've gotten really good at fast showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756559 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 08:41:25 +0000 josina 2756559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add me to the quick-showers. Usually 5 minutes or less, 7 if I shave.<br /> I get in, soak, shampoo and rinse, put conditioner it then wash with bath soap and shave if needed, rinse conditioner out, done. I have thin hair so that might help.<br /> I'm usually completely ready (showered/hair dryed/straightened/make-up in 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756538 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:49:38 +0000 erinbaderin 2756538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about this thread this morning - last night we discovered water pouring out of the hot water tank and had to shut off the hot water so this morning's shower was VERY fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756536 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:41:31 +0000 kayla0416 2756536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take about 8-10 minutes. I wash hair every day, but only shave about once every 1-2 weeks in the summer, and less often in the winter! I have very fine blonde leg hair that doesn't grow very fast. And I just don't really care haha. It surprises me how many of you shave every day! I could probably be done in 6-8 minutes, but I usually like to just stand there and relax in the hot water for an extra minute or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756535 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:33:25 +0000 SweetiePie 2756535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm doing the whole shebang and not in a rush (usually at night after my son is in bed) it's 20 minutes, easily. Hair, body, shaving, face wash.<br /> If it's the morning, when I usually don't have time to wash and dry my hair, I just do my body and face and can take 5 minutes. Even with a pit shave I can do 5 mins. Hair and legs seem to take the most time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756532 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:20:21 +0000 Ajsmommy 2756532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread makes me LOL.. I often wonder why I take such short showers but DH takes FOREVER!</p> <p>I take about 5-7 mins. If I shave, which is about 2 times a week then add 5 mins. </p> <p>I hop in wet and wash my hair, rinse it and then apply conditioner. Rinse conditioner. Then apply the soap to my loofa/wash towel give myself the once over and I'm done. I take a minute or two to just stand there and enjoy the nice hot water. </p> <p>I will add that I have fine hair, lots of it but it's fine and it's a bob cut so that probably helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756526 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 06:37:30 +0000 looch 2756526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: My hair is chin length and super fine, so it doesn't take a lot to rinse it out. I use very little shampoo and no conditioner on my hair.</p> <p>I don't linger too long because it's drying for my skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756522 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 06:08:50 +0000 Adira 2756522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WTF - how do you people shower so fast if you're washing your hair??</p> <p>I feel like it takes at least 10 minutes just to wash and condition my hair! It takes FOREVER to rinse everything out.</p> <p>The rest of the shower takes another 10-15 minutes, depending on if I shave my legs or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756496 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 21:10:40 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2756496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @looch: I can't take a long shower to save my life. Sometimes (before kids) I would try to really draw it out until I just got so bored I couldn't stand it anymore. The longest I've ever taken was like 9 minutes. Normal is 3-5 max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756488 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 20:16:17 +0000 ineebee 2756488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes, max. I do body wash every other day. Not having to shave anymore seriously cuts down on my shower time -- the epilator has changed my life, guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756479 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:47:49 +0000 erinbaderin 2756479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: It's funny, because I'm the opposite, wondering what everybody is doing that takes so long! My hair is only shoulder length but I do wash it every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756464 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 18:49:29 +0000 Synchronicity 2756464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 minutes if I shave, which is most showers. Definitely under 10 if I don't shave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756460 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 18:29:54 +0000 looch 2756460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, 3 minutes most days, and then If I have to shave my legs, 6...only so I don't cut myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756435 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 13:43:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 2756435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My showers are long too, usually around 20 min. I can cut it if I don't shave, and if I'm really rushing I'll do shampoo and conditioner super fast, by just usung a small amount and rinsing quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756421 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 12:03:21 +0000 808love 2756421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower fast! I have shoulder length hair so maybe that helps. I multi task. As I first jump in I'm wetting hair and I'm grabbing shampoo and dispensing. I'm laser focused on hair not the rest of my body. By the time I am done soaping it is probably 30 seconds. Then as I am finishing rinsing hair, I'm dispensing my conditoner and putting it in my hair at minute two. As conditioner is sitting I'm soaping with a thin Japanese scrubby towel that makes tons of bubbles and covers a lot of surface with two hands. I start with focus on typical stinky places, run up and down my arms and legs and back, rinse and then touch up with a second run of stinky places. Minute four I rinse my conditioner and myself off. I never take more than 5 minutes. Maybe that is why our utilities are so low!! :) Crazy enough my hair grows so slowly, I rarely have to shave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756399 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 09:13:58 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2756399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Kramer from Seinfeld over here wondering how people shower so quickly! A full shower takes me no less than 20 minutes (shampoo, condition, shave). But I do have a LOT of waist-length hair, so maybe that's what takes so long? Maybe I need better water pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756351 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 00:43:53 +0000 LindsayLou 2756351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-20 minutes, more if I shave. I love long showers and it's a luxury I have no desire to give up. My 22 month old is also in the shower with me most days though, so that 20 minutes includes bathing her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756332 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 21:08:54 +0000 ShootingStar 2756332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-20 minutes. I shampoo, condition, body wash, shave legs and underarms, wash face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756326 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 19:52:42 +0000 delight 2756326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days it takes about 5 minutes. That's about as long as the baby is happy in the crib. That is just a quick shampoo, condtion and face wash. If DH is home and is playing with the kids then I usually shave and use body wash and stuff and stay in for 10-15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756322 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 19:30:57 +0000 Anagram 2756322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take long showers... probably 20 min. That's how long it takes me to shampoo, condition, wash body, sometimes exfoliate, and I always shave, every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756320 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 19:18:44 +0000 petitenoisette 2756320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually about 5 minutes. Sometimes I'll take what seems like a really long shower and turns out it's been 10 minutes 😜</p> <p>I don't shave my legs in the winter anymore and then in the summer I'm only shaving once or twice a week these days. I only wash my hair every other day. So that cuts down on the time, but mostly I'm just not super into showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-your-showers-2#post-2756319 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 19:18:01 +0000 youboots 2756319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more than 10. Even when I shave. </p>
