I dont tell people this because i am afraid but i only shower like once a week and im not stinky. Anytime ive mentioned this to anyone they say something along the lines of, “you just get noseblind to it” but the only people truly aware of my showering habits are my roommate and my girlfriend and they say im not stinky. When i originally started living with my roomate he outright asked me how i do not smell like shit. I still clean my dick regularly though because even if it isnt stinky it would be gross if i didnt.
Im convinced i dont produce the stinky chemical as readily as most people. Even after the gym i am not stinky. It makes my girlfriend mad because she wants to “smell my stinky” but anytime i sweat i end up just smelling like outside for a bit.
I’m of an opinion that your body attempts to find an equilibrium in relation to it’s enviroment. If you shampoo your hair everyday? Your body is going to overproduce hair oil. Wash your skin everyday with soap? Overproduces skin oils. Etc. Add in that everyone’s body is different and you run into the reality that a one size fits all washing routine is flawed. I know for my hair that shampooing it more than every month ruins it, and my hair is not greasy because water and conditior is enough. The main thing I’m trying to remove from my body is external dirt and piss/shit/cum.

So real
You have curly hair as well i imagine? I started showering less in highschool because i was trying to express my curls and it eventually reduced to once a week. In part because of executive dysfunction and but mostly because it made my hair look nice. Id wash my hair even less (it takes forever to get greasy) but i have a skin condition on my scalp that gets so fucking terrible after a week without medicated shampoo. Its probably for the best though, i shouldnt shower even less lol. Not trying to push those bounderies
I made a big post above, but everyone washes their hair too much and dries it the fuck out. Your scalp excretes oils to keep your hair pretty good on its own if you just rinse it with water every couple days. You will have a week or so of greasy hair after stopping but your body will quickly adjust to not having detergent rubbed on your head daily and cut down the oil to where it should be pretty quick and your hair will be way better in the end both in health, appearance and ease of styling. When it’s not constantly dried out you’ll find it’s thicker and more malleable for styling.

Pretty much, this is what most people probably should focus on, and doing so for the most part smells and hygiene alike shouldn’t be an issue. I rarely use shampoo or conditioner, oftentimes don’t even wash my hair or let it wet (heavy water), and most of the time I’m not soaping down entirely, just where it’s needed (genitals and below, also armpits though mine don’t stink but it fits- sometimes the face as well but then I’m probs gonna moisturize after as I hate the feeling of dry skin and was raised w/ it as a habit).
I cannot overstate this enough, if you are using shampoo more than like once a week MAX, it’s too much. When you stop you will experience a graeasy hair week as your body is used to overproduction oils to make up for the shampoo but after that it’s smooooth sailing. I rinse with water twice a week or so and shampoo maybe once a month if that and my hair has been absolutely fantastic ever since. Like, I’m pretty hot tbh, but holy hell do I have fucking fantastic hair and I really gotta say the main player was not over washing it. My schedule is probably a bit light but my hair is dyed and I don’t wanna have it fade either. But yeah, daily shampoo is no good and once you’re past that threshold you’ll have way healthier and nicer hair and save shower time and shampoo money. I get fancy purple stuff to hold my bright ass hair color and a bottle last over a year.

maybe fucking sharks is the secret to this
You can’t smell of human stink if you’re constantly surrounded with the glorious aura of sweet fishy love.
New theoretical ground gets broken here every day
Might as well rename this community Qiushi

Ah, uh oh… at least when it comes to one’s own face, one should took heed of that… I kinda learned that the hard way
That being said, other than that, I can see your point in that
If I use soap on my face too much I just break out
