Ideally I would wash my hair every five days or so, but because our weeks are seven-day long I wash them every seven days and deal with having slightly greasy hair for two days.

Sometimes I wish the Revolutionary calendar had worked out. It had 10-day-long décades instead of weeks; that would have been awesome for my hair.
