Today, I finally figured out why my 5 year-old daughter washes her hair every day. It's because she doesn't want to have "yucky greasy hair like her mommy." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to blow-dry the sweat off her armpits instead of showering. FML
Today, my daughter continues to have acne breakouts. She’s no longer a teenager, which means she isn’t washing her face. I can’t believe I raised someone who ignores her hygiene to this point. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Today, I found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML
Today, I realized I've been using conditioner instead of shampoo for the last month. I was wondering why my hair never felt clean but always smelled great. Now I have to explain to my friends that my new "shampoo routine" was actually just expensive conditioner and ignorance. FML
Today, my mom was proud for making a positive change in her life. The change in question? She now throws away the smelly hair she combs out of the dog, instead of keeping it for unspecified later use. FML
Today, for the first time ever, I was able to have a good hair day without blow drying it or using product. Or so I thought. The first words my mom spoke to me when I came downstairs were “Go fix your hair.” FML
Today, I got up extra early to curl my hair because I wanted to look nice at school for a change. After coming downstairs my mom yells at me and says, "See, when you don't wake up on time your hair looks like that. You could have at least combed it!" FML
Today, I found out the crappy shampoo I've been borrowing from my girlfriend is actually "feminine wash." FML
Today, my step-dad explained to me why he doesn't need to wash his body. He condescendingly said, "Well when you shampoo your hair, the soap runs down your body and cleans everything." He's 37 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

well ya know dermatologist say that your not supposed to wash your hair every day. why are you people so mean? why can you just say you deserved it and move on? can you just not go 20 minutes without calling someone a ******* idiot or saying something rude? it doesnt really change someones personality by telling them there ******* retarded, it just shows that youre a loser with a low self asteem and you have to put others down to feel better.

youre not 'supposed' to necessarily, its depends on how fast your hair get greasy. for the most part its really bad for your hair to wash it everyday cause its stressful for it, especially if youre a girl and have long hair. and 5 year olds hair does not get greasy fast since they havent gone through puberty........ this is all far too into a needless discussion anyways, my bad. and to the op, MAYBE DONT HAVE GREASY HAIR THEN U SLOB

i dont wash my hair everyday... more so every 1-2 days. i have to flat iron mine because if i dont its a big wavy poofy mess, and it takes way to long for me to flat iron it every day seeing as how i have long thick hair. and like many have said it looks best one the 1st to 2nd day of no shower

and you're to lazy to wash it? Take some philoprogenitiveness in your child's hygeine.

A+ for knowing the word "philoprogenitiveness" but you FAIL for not knowing the difference between "to" and "too."

Wow. Is most of this site just full of people who have no idea what "good hygiene" is? Children do not need to wash their hair every day because it doesn't get as oily as adult hair (does no one have younger siblings, nieces, nephews, or younger cousins?). Also, it can be bad for you to wash your hair every day. You can shower without washing your hair and put baby powder or cornstarch in your hair and comb it through to absorb some of the excess oil. There are other products that you can use, too. I myself have shorter thin hair and I try to not wash it too often. My hair gets pretty oily though so I have to wash it whenever I go out. Days that I don't work and don't have anything planned I stay away from washing my hair and brush my hair so the oils can reach the tips of the hair.

Some people need to wash their hair everyday to keep it from being greasy! Others only wash it every other day or on the 3rd day to keep their hair from being dried out! So stfu with the debate, cuz it's going nowhere...
