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

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Damn u right. I've been doing it wrong this whole time!!

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I really hope you don't do this anymore. Most shampoo/ body wash is made with chemicals that aren't food safe.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

I rinse them afterwords so it's all good.

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Maybe if it's extra unsafe for the food, it'll get scared and leave on its own.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

Explains the fridge always being empty. =\

Gif is broken, but my mom was a pet groomer for 25 years, and Mane and tail is still our go to. Shit is amazing.

[–] steventhedev@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was fumbling with the markdown for a hot minute.

I first found it on the bottom shelf of a CVS shampoo aisle.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Stuff is fantastic. I've never felt like I had such a luxurious mane before. ... The constant cravings for sugar cubes have become problematic, but that may just be from being raised in the south. Lol

[–] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone wants an apple.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 11 points 2 years ago

whinnies, nickers

I've been a very good boy!

I daren’t show this to my wife. But the amount of products that get sold and actually fucks up skin and hair baffles me.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Try Mane & Tail shampoo. Pretty amazing stuff.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] GombeenSysadmin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] mahomz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Same here, though I would be lying if I said I wasn't at all concerned about what might be going on under there.

Solution: never find out.

[–] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

NGL this was the thr best Ad ever in full movie lengh, i never used anything else than head and shoulders since then.

[–] GombeenSysadmin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Love that movie

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 10 points 2 years ago

There is this horse shampoo that somehow got popular and used by girls instead.

Yea, those x in 1 shampoos really mess my hair up tbh

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Dr. Bronners. Strong enough for a diesel engine, but made for a man.

(No joke, that soap says it can be used for just about anything)

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

That soap says a lot of things.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have not used it for shampoo yet. I might try

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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...

IT'S NOT FAIR THO!

cries with split ends

[–] Jennykichu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I went no poo and love it! I shampoo maybe once a month. Takes a while to get to used to but it's worth it https://www.nopoomethod.com/

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely not putting baking soda and vinegar in my hair

[–] Jennykichu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] AtmaJnana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Easy, just gotta follow rules 1 and 2.

[–] crackajack@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Use coconut shampoo! Works all the time, not sixty percent of the time.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Why would you shampoo a coconut?

[–] henfredemars 1 points 2 years ago

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.
