you guys know that you don't have to shampoo and wash your hair right? It's really not that bad.
As long as you shower regularly and properly wash it it's literally fine.
If you don't believe me try it.
Hair is actually very much not the same from person to person, let alone race to race.
this statement alone is generic (and thus problematic when you try and apply it to all humans). What does regularly mean here? Every day? Every few days? Does this arbitrary regularity match a black person with curly hair vs a white person with straight hair? etc.
It's almost like a one-size-fits-all when it comes to health isn't a great idea
it is not hard to understand. wash your ass, wash all your bits. this does apply very broadly to humans. i don't care who you are, your skin is an organ and it's doing weird stuff.
every 6 hours works fairly well
personally i prefer having a constant trickle of water down my body throughout the entire day so that it's roughly equivalent to taking one single shower.
oh so you live in ohio. the sweat is a fun treacle and you can fling it at people.
ah yes the ohio shower
i mean obviously, but don't forget that we also literally evolved without the existence of shampoo and conditioner, and showers. So we're probably fine without it.
I don't know, how often do you shower? Most people shower daily, some people shower less frequently than that, very few people shower more infrequently than that outside of just having bad hygiene, unless we're not counting baths for some reason.
There's a reason it's a generic statement, i can't prescribe my highly irregular and variable shower schedule to the average person as it's probably not socially acceptable, but i also don't go outside, so.
I feel like most people can sort of like... Figure it out themselves? Seems like a reasonable assumption to me when it comes to personal hygiene.
yeah... That's why i said go try it?
I have tried, and my hair gets super greasy and a bit smelly if I don't wash it every once in a while. And the conditioner is mostly just to keep it from getting frizzy after I've slept on it all night.
yeah, it's dependent on the individual, most people just excessively use that shit every day.
The overnight frizz is a nightmare, but i just live with it, my hair is naturally messy anyway so it's not getting much better even if i did lmao.
My scalp gets itchy if I don't shampoo at least once a week. Also if you have sweaty scalp you are gonna have a lot more oil build up that can collect dirt, grime and dead skin.
there's definitely things to be aware of, but that's not my prognosis to make lol.
You must stink. People around are just being nice by not saying anything. 🤔
evidently not, as nobody has complained about it, just the fact that my hair looks like shit because i don't wash it lmao.
