Assuming there's any truth to that, why wouldn't women just use the 6 in 1 shampoo?

...And man-pants with pockets, while we're on the topic. I suppose there might be issues in the hip-department there, though.

I think it's not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.

And it's not like there aren't specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.

Huh. Is dandruff not a thing that happens to women? I wouldn't know.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

From what I could find, men are more likely to suffer from dandruff than women, so even though women can suffer from dandruff it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus mostly on men, especially since men are still thought that anything even cosmetics adjacent is not manly.

Its my understanding it does, but is generally far less noticeable (gets caught and held in hair, then washed out when bathing) but is usually cared for / treated by using proper hair products.

It's nonsense, and men with longer hair who use 6 in 1 have bad results. Longer hair takes more treatment, hair is usually vitalized by oils from the scalp, so the further away from the scalp the more help it needs to stay healthy.

For the pants, it's partly the hip/waist ratio and partly the extra bunchy fabric in the crotch region.

Almost everything on the market is shit and will destroy your hair. That includes the 6 in 1 shampoo, men just usually have less hair.

Some already do.

And man pants aren't that big of a hurdle to get used to. Just need to take measurements of waistband and inseam and you've got the size to look for in mens pants. Thats what I like about them: they have much better sizing labels than the nebulous/arbitrary size numbers on women's pants.

Whatever works, right? Right now I'm wearing this really nice pair of sturdy heavy-duty felt-lined jeans from Duluth Trading Company which are supposedly made for women (albeit with perfectly nice pockets) - not that I care one whit. They fit perfectly, and are generally lovely.

When I was in high school the trend was baggy pants and lots of women did wear men’s pants.

Hip stuff only matters if you're trying to have form fitting clothing. It sucks for women, but at the same time you're not required to buy that crap. Be comfortable.

are there even form fitting clothes for man? I just buy the cheapest man pants that are baggy, fit me, is compatible with belts and is made with 100% cotton

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I don't know. I also just buy for comfort/utility. I ain't no fashion model.
