washing hair

Scrubbing your head

Washing hair is the process of cleaning the hair and scalp, typically with shampoo and water.

The phrase functions as both a gerund and a present participle: I'm washing my hair tonight describes the activity, while washing your hair too often can dry it out treats it as a noun.

The excuse I can't, I'm washing my hair is a classic brush-off for unwanted invitations.
