[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 557602, member: 1514"] Bipolar can cause hygiene problems. I think I like DDD's ideas. When I was in HS I had a really hard time about wanting to wash my hair everyday. I have always been very bad about styling my hair and applying make up so I would go to only washing my hair once or twice a week. I would take a bath more often but I didnt like the feel of washing my hair. Growing older and taking care of the kids at home didnt make it much better. Now if I actually had somewhere I had to go then I would make the effort. It was really hard for me to put in the effort of showering/washing my hair every other day when I worked. Now...with my depression and all that is going on, I can go a week without doing it. I realize that isnt good but it is so difficult for me with both my mental and physical issues so I have a difficult time performing the required acts. I need physical help. I think DDD has a good idea about asking your daughter if she would like a shorter haircut. I got mine cut shorter and I also go to the hair salon at least once every two weeks for them to wash my hair well. They only charge me $4 to wash it. I dont have them dry it though. Just wash and towel dry. That might be something to think about. Also, if your daughter's hair is really oily, dye it a shade darker or lighter than it is now and that will dry it out. I did that to my middle sons hair because his hair was fairly oily in his teens. [/QUOTE]
