I haven't showered in like 6 days

That is likely because your hair's natural oils take care of it better than when you strip them out and leave nothing else in it. I think most people don't actually need shampoo, at least not every day.
Snuffletrout:
Actually I saw in some documentary about pageants that the Miss Universe contestants etc don't shower their hair the day of the contest since it's easier to style then.
I guess it all depends on what kind of hair you have though. Mine's typical nordic hair so its superfine, so if I don't shower it gets really greasy really fast.
Btw have you seen those "dry shampoo" spray-on they have now? Supposed to dry out the grease or something like it. Im skeptic. Very skeptic.

The only experience I've had with dry shampoo is that it makes your hair really itchy and greasy. I'm not a fan.

I've been about six days without showering - in the last play I did, both myself and my assistant admitted that we hadn't showered since Saturday, and it was now Wednesday. She showered the next morning but I didn't have time until the next day. It wasn't a huge problem, my hair smelt a little unclean but not unpleasant and I washed at the sink.
I think some people, e.g. my brother, shower compulsively every morning and then get really unused to their own skin so if they're staying somewhere overnight it's uncomfortable not to shower. I'd far rather have an extra half hour in bed than be that clean every morning (but if I'm going out somewhere posh or likely to end up going back with someone, I will shower in the evening).

physical activity is a big part of it too, i mean i exercise pretty much every day so there is absolutely no way i can get away without showering and i imagine people who do things like bike to work or run around all day probably have similar feelings but for a person with a relatively sedentary lifestyle who gets to spend most of their day in a nice cool setting i imagine going a few days without a shower is not really that big a deal? i doubt i'd notice either.
