MODERATORS
I have long, thick, curly hair and washing it involves making sure the water soaks through to my scalp, making sure the conditioner gets through to the scalp, combing it through once it's soaked with product (brushing it dry is a nightmare), scrubbing every inch of my scalp to avoid skin or dirt build up, then rinsing it.
This is a time consuming process. Luckily, my ADHD doesn't interfere in this process because it makes every shower about me having an argument with someone where I win. Or babbling to myself about whatever major concerns I have (do I want to have children?)
And also I listen to podcasts. Right now I'm doing Dungeons and Daddies and the opening/closing song for it is such a goddamned banger it's been playing nonstop in my head for at least the past 6 days.
