A new study has found that women spend four times longer to get ready for work on Mondays than on Fridays.
On average, women spend 76 minutes getting ready on Mondays — with almost a third of that spent on their hair — 18 minutes on make-up, 16 minutes trying on different combinations of clothes and the rest taken up by showering and washing.
This is reduced to 40 minutes on Tuesdays and continues to decline as the week goes on, falling to 19 minutes on Fridays.
“Make the most of looking at your work colleagues on a Monday morning, because that’s as good as they’re going to get,” said Debenhams spokesman Ed Watson.
