BRITISH women take four times as long to get ready for work on Mondays than on Fridays, while men also put less effort into their appearance as the week goes on, according to research by retail chain Debenhams.
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.
Men too let their standards fade with each passing day, the survey of 1,000 customers by Debenhams' personal shopper network found.
Guys take 28 minutes on Monday, half that on Tuesday and 11 for the rest of the week.
