    What do u expect? It literally says for dry and damaged on the bottle. Should’ve taken the one for shiny and healthy

    This reminds me, when I was in college, renting a house with 3 other guys. Once a month we had to chip in for dish soap. Which didn’t mean pulling our money together. It meant that everybody put a little of their shampoo and shower gel into the bottle on the kitchen sink.

      it’s trial and error, not all products are for you. For one person a brand of shampoo might turn their hair into that akin of angel hair, for you, it mighy make it look like dry straw

      The human body has a lot of variables that affect which things work and which don’t

    God, I wish this was me. I have skin issues, so I had to switch to the expensive women’s shampoo, conditioner, face wash & moisturizer. I still have mild dandruff and dry skin like 5 days a week, but at least I literally do not leave patches of skin flakes everywhere I walk.

      have you tried just like, not using anything? not saying it’ll work but i figure it’s always worth trying to see if the product is actually the cause of the issue

        Using shampoo less is part of my routine (every 4th day or so), but I do have to wash my hair sometimes, and outside that window it gets really gross really fast.

        As for my face, the dead skin and oil buildup is a big yikes even at once a day. Granted, more gentle cleanser might help, but I don’t know of one that still does the job.

          yeah at least in my experience you kinda have to just not use shampoo for a month before the scalp realizes and stops pumping out grease, after that period the need for shampoo is basically nil

          as for the “less” bit, i more meant using a smaller amount every time, in my experience just a little goes a long way and i think the thing that causes the scalp to overreact with all the grease is that you periodically nuke all the oils completely, if you leave at least a little oil the scalp will probably calm down.

    On a similar note: As a beard-haver, I haven’t washed my face in anything except Head and Shoulders in 15 years

        I’m sure it works for someone, but for long, straight, fine hair, it leaves a film that makes it all stick together and is impossible to run a brush through, while also being extremely dry. Also makes horrible toothpaste and sucks for washing dishes. The bottle is a lie. Pretty much just good for armpits and privates IMO. The peppermint tingles…

        I just do water and scrub really good with my fingers and like I said I shampoo every few weeks whenit does get greasy due to hormones/the weather. my hair is not quite shoulder length so not too long which probably helps

    Say what you want my mom used to wash my hair with dish soap when I was a kid, and I had some really good hair.
