A 27-year-old woman has sparked a lengthy debate after she admitted that she only showers twice a week when she wants to shower her hair.

Allison, who goes under the username @abmccarthy5757 on TikTok, thought her routine was normal until she mentioned how often she showers and washes her hair.

“So I’ve recently found out that I am in fact a gross human being and this is because, most girls, when they say that they wash their hair twice a week, they literally mean wash their hair, and they shower every day,” she said.

In her viral TikTok video, Allison went on: “I only shower once or twice a week. I’ve gone five days without showering before. Because if I’m getting in the shower, I’m going to wash my hair.

“Why would I get in the shower and not wash my hair? But I don’t want to wash my hair every day.

“I’ve had to start saying that I wash my hair twice a week – but I only shower twice a week.”

The clip has gained more than six million views and left people divided as they couldn’t decide whether showering twice a week is ‘totally normal’ or ‘gross.’

One TikTok user wrote: “I’ve been there and I do it too, if I’m not dirty I’m not showering. If my hair is dirty then I’m showering.”

Another said: “She literally has no excuse for not showering, she has a skin care routine, gym routine, and works as a nurse.”

A third added: “Thank you for talking about this. showering is so exhausting! How do people do it so much?”

Someone else commented: “I cannot go 24 hours without showering. I refuse to believe this is real.”
