Most people shower daily without a second thought, but experts warn that 86% of us are doing it wrong. According to shower gel brand Original Source, the correct order is shampoo first, then conditioner, followed by body wash—a sequence only 14% of Brits follow.
Why Order Matters
Washing your hair first ensures shampoo and conditioner residues rinse off before applying body gel, preventing product buildup and skin irritation. “Otherwise, lingering products can cause irritation,” explains Original Source.

Survey Highlights Confusion
A survey of 2,000 Brits revealed:
- 44% use body wash before shampoo.
- 22% shampoo, then body wash, skipping conditioner timing.
- Just 14% follow the correct order.
Alice Plimmer, Refreshment Lead at Original Source, emphasizes: “A shower should be a sensory experience. Use natural fragrances to energize mornings.”
Shower Duration Insights
A University of Surrey study monitored 290 showers, finding the average lasts 6.7 minutes. However, researchers note the public likely showers longer—around 10.8 minutes.
