Overheard at the hair dresser's

"I just wash my hair every two or three days and it's fine. My daughter though, she washes her hair every day! She takes a shower every morning! She's really rather maniac about all that. She says her hair is oily if she doesn't and she can't stand not washing her head in the morning, but really, washing so often you just have dry skin and your hair gets dirty faster!"

I wanted to say to the woman, but didn't, "Ma'am, perhaps your daughter works hard in the heat and is very busy and sweats everyday and so takes a shower so she smells nice and her hair isn't oily."

I think I know where the stereotype that French people don't wash themselves came from: 1975
