    I wish. 90% of male targeted soap products are now “3 in 1” body washes that “clean, refresh and rejuvenate.” I miss the days when 3 in 1 meant soap, shampoo and conditioner. Saying “X in 1” on a soap bottle that is only regular soap is false advertising. And if X >=5 it better be able to degrease my valve covers.

      Wouldn’t recommend using the dish one on your car either unless you plan on reapplying wax.

          Any time I’ve had a car that’s not already a rusty piece of shit, I keep it waxed to protect the paintwork which in turn protects the body panels themselves.

          That, however, does not apply to my current car, nor the last 5 pieces of shit.

    Well, look at how much hair the guy on the picture has. With such little hair it really doesn’t matter how you wash it as long as you use some kind of soap.

      Yep, I use Dr. Bronners for everything. Especially when camping, when it’s: hair, face & body, toothpaste, shaving cream, dish detergent, bug repellant, emergency lubricant (stuck stoves, tentpole, etc), laundry soap, and anything else I can find to use it for.

      Yeah! I alternate between using Dr. Bronner’s and simply reading the ramblings on the bottle if using some old shampoo/conditioner my wife moved on from.

    Last guy I dated had this big bottle of soap in his shower. It had a pump. Like that big.

    That’s all that was in there.

    I hold it up to look at what it was.

    Some holiday scented shower gel. Purple.

    I asked him " but what about shampoo , conditioner. What did he wash his face with?" Surely not Christmas berry body wash that looked like it was almost certainly something that he didn’t choose but found somewhere.

    Maybe previous tennent or ex had left it there. Idk.

    I bought him some 2 in one shampoo-conditioner the next day.

    At least something. You know?.

    You don’t go 3 in 1. That’s just not civil. 2 in 1 is a compromise , I guess.

      You can pretty much use shampoo for everything is the funny part. And we do for like dogs and cats, it works fine.

    I don’t like this stereotype. I’m a man and I use women’s shampoo and conditioner because all the men’s stuff is full of chemicals and synthetic fragrances, it smells like a locker room full of douchebags, and it dries my skin out/makes it flake.

    You don’t need all the fancy “pro”/“salon” -grade stuff that’s mostly just selling the trademark, but decent shampoo and conditioner can make a huge difference.

    You kinda gotta try a few to find out what works for you though, because some people’s hair is naturally oily and needs a more drying shampoo and a gentler conditioner, while other people’s hair is naturally more dry and they need a gentler shampoo with a more oily conditioner. It’s not a one-size-fits-all situation.

      I just stopped using shampoo altogether. My head was itchy, and flakey no matter what I used.

      I rinse my hair well with water every day, the itching has gone, flaking gone, and my thinning hair looks fuller.

      You gotta find what works for you, but sometimes nothing works better.

        I went without shampoo for a few weeks too, and at first it did get that clumpy, oily look, but then over time as the oils distributed that smoothed out and it ultimately helped control my friz.

        But after a month or two it seemed to reverse course and started looking oily again, started itching uncontrollably, and worst of all my scalp started to be covered in a sebaceous grime that water alone couldn’t wash away.

        So now I shampoo maybe once or twice a month, and I use a generous amount of conditioner every time I shampoo. Any more frequently than once a week and my scalp gets flakey and itchy, but a couple times a month I find is the right balance for my hair (which again, differs for everybody).

        Then while my hair is still damp after showering (and detangling with a heavyduty comb), I pat some argan oil into the roots and use a bristle brush to distribute it towards the ends. That helps control the frizz, otherwise it would take a few days to smooth down after shampooing.

        The stuff I use has a keratin/biotin complex but I’m not sure how much that actually does. I’ve also used stuff with collagen but I haven’t really noticed a difference. This stuff has a consistency like honey though, so it’s not just straight argan oil. I find the added viscosity helps me use a tiny bit and get it distributed nicely. I’ve tried using straight oil before but it’s hard to get full coverage without using too much.

        Any other oil would work, really: olive, avocado, almond, jojoba, linseed, grapeseed, etc… Just use a light amount. You could even infuse it with nettle, oats, or other herbs that are good for the hair. Lanolin too if you want to get fancy. That’s all extra though, the main thing is just a light coat of oil after shampooing can really help nourish and rehydrate the hair and scalp.

    I’m too lazy to buy champoo, so i a lot of times just wash my hair with soap for long stretches of time.

    it’s all justa thing that contains a thing that causes oily stuff to mix with watery stuff so water can wash it off, and nukes bacteria’s membranes and viruses in the process.

      I feel like it would come in a drum, delivered by a lorry that also does bags of coal.
