I think women's shampoo does a better job personally, I like the smell more roo
I prefer the smell of Kanga, but maybe I’m just older.
I’ve been washing my face with shampoo since I saw a meme about it and it’s been fine. I actually got complimented on my skin.
But maybe don't pick the first cheapest thing.
I got some 2-in-1 shampoo+ shower gel that was cheap. Just the first one.
I used it and WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Super uncomfortable, cold, impossible to wash off.
"With menthol"
Why would you do that?
Oh, lol, I remember the shampoo with menthol I had. I loved how it actually brought feeling back to my life.
I have a ton of hair so I’ve tried a ton of different products and types. I found the $10 highly moisturizing stuff to be the most effective. It also lasts a while because it’s not super watery. The dish detergent quality stuff makes my hair brittle and fall out. Which is pretty inconvenient since it’s about 2ft long at this point.
shampoo is bad for your head
only using a no wax high protein conditioner scrubbing your scalp then scrubby/combed out rinse will change your hair for the better in two weeks.
all the pollution, sweat, salt, urea, and dead skin rinse out with the conditioner. the oil left on your hair will give your hair body and curl.
for reals.
Also don’t shampoo every day if you’re going to, do it once or twice a week depending on sebum production.

Nourishing.
Nah, more like:
Man: Washes hair daily. That's it.
Woman: Only washes/wets hair sometimes. Uses lots and lots of various chemicals to force various styles. Lots of blow drying. Hair dyes. Then wonders why hair is obviously chemically and physically damaged.
The problem is most women put TOO much effort into their hair, trying to make it things it's not, and end up damaging it. Men tend to keep it short and simple and their hair doesn't end up as damaged.
Also, you notice the Fabio guys a lot more than you notice the broccoli haired dorks. You remember that one hot guy more than you remember the dozens of unkempt ones. Add in that people who can't grow nice long hair tend to keep it short and you have all kinds of selection biases.
Most women have long hair. Long here requires more maintenance. It's that simple.
Stop making pseudoscientific excuses about chemicals to reinforce your own views on gender.
I'm a dude with belly button length hair(for the last 20 years) who constantly gets asked how I do it. It has nothing to do with gender. If anything, it's the misogynistic culture telling you that you MUST do all these things in order to be pretty when most of those things are just getting you to buy more useless products. My hair is sleek and shiny and all I do is use Garnier Fructis shampoo once a week, and their conditioner daily. I let my hair air dry. The end.
But yeah, I'm just some hateful man. Whatever loser. Sorry for pointing out that it doesn't make sense to put a bunch of moisturizer in your hair and then blast it with high heat daily and wonder why it's dry and brittle.
