I have a nicer shampoo that's about 3x as expensive, but it's also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I've taken a shower.

So yeah, I think it's worth it.

Everyone should shave their head and reject bourgeois shampoo.

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 25 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I literally did this at the first sign on a receding hairline. I already had a beard and glasses so I figured it was time to complete the look. You still need to put something moisturising on your head though and so I do still use some shampoo so the damn capitalists win again…

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is there a reason you can't just use moisturizer?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what the Big Moisturizer Conglomerate wants.

Big Moist dont play!

Shampoo is like the opposite of moisturizing.

I just use my face lotion.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Uhhh the point of shampoo is to remove oils…

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Why should baldness go with a beard?

I did it last year and it was so worth it. I'm not close to having a receding hairline or anything. I just said "fuck washing and styling hair" and now I have a chrome dome and I love it.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And now you need to shave often.

[–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is true, but I do that with an electric razor in the shower. It takes just a few minutes and I'm nice and warm and cozy in hot water while I do it. And if I skip a few days, it doesn't matter (unless you don't like the look of a little fuzz)

Don't even get started on conditioner.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (9 children)

I have dandruff issues and basically tried everything. The only shampoo that seems to work is this$40 little bottle from Ulta. I'm pissed, is there anything else?

i go to sally's beauty supply and get the knockoff brand (basically what's in the little expensive bottle but in a big white bottle and no brand labeling) for hella cheap. i smell delicious all day and my beard is lush and smooth

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I got some weird dry skin/dandruff/oily scalp issue combo. Things that I have found working over a very long time struggling:

  • Out of all shampoos Head and shoulders actually has the best effect. Anything else not-specialized doesn't. Ketozonol/Nizoral does help but I am not feeling much better over HnS. And these are not suppsoed to be used long term.
  • I have tried SLES shampoo from Neutrogena. Didnt work for me like at all.
  • Water hardness is super important. My hometown had much softer water that allowed me to not to wash my head for a week and it would be fine. My current location has fucking insane hardness and I have to wash my head each 2-4 days or it starts to itch very badly. Whenever I travel, some of the time my hair feels great and I suspect that water hardness in the hotel might be much lower than at home. Maybe look into installing some kind of filter. If you live in a house, 100% invest in reverse osmosis filter at least for your bath/shower.
  • My head also gets oily quick. I usually wash with 3 shampoos. 1st shampoo - cheap 1 euro shampoo that I use just to wash majority of oil off. 2nd shampoo - deep cleaning shampoo that is also cheap - 2.50eur but it does have an effect. 3rd is HnS. The longer I soak hair with 2nd and 3rd shampoos, the better it feels afterwards.
  • Adding up to soaking point: if I take bath I soap my head quick, and each shampoo soaks my scalp for 20 minutes or so. This way head feels much nicer over the next days. In shower, 2-5 mitnues or so.
  • adding up on deep cleaning shampoo: I found a few shampoos that claim they are deep cleaning/cleansing. But upon trying, only one felt effective. If you seek for these shampoos, try more options til you find something that works.
  • Conditioners have no effect to me. I have heard that it might help in certain cases, so maybe you should try that too.

I really do hope you will find a solution to your problem. This shit sucks donkey balls and is so annoying to live with.

I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

$90?! Do they put gold in it?

I switched to exclusively bath and body works soap. It cuts though automotive grease like no ones business and i feel bonita.

[–] Jorn@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Recently moved to an area with hard water. Wife and I were noticing more hair loss while showering. Turns out an ingredient "EDTA" can help remove buildup from hard water that damages hair. This is a common ingredient in expensive shampoos but it's also in Head and Shoulders. Wife started using expensive shampoos to help and I switched to Head and Shoulders. She just ended up using my shampoo(much cheaper) and it's been working well for us. Hope this helps others.

True story.

I was at the supermarket and I was about to pick up a bottle of premium steak sauce. The guy walking by me says that I should look at the label; it's just ketchup and horse radish and I can make it better at home. I check and he's right. I thank him and go on.

A few minutes later I see the same guy buying bottled ice tea.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I his defense, have you ever tried to make iced tea with ketchup and horseradish? It’s fucking nasty.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ol steak house special brew.

I've found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.

This is why we are social beings. We're also kinda dumb sometimes and help each other a lot.

Where do you get stock images of a person crying in an outdoor shower, anyway?

(Don't worry, I'm not going to use them without copyright, it's purely for a sex kink)

Friendly reminder you can make your own soap at home with lye and fat.

Now you can get lye from hardware stores at a reasonable price. But you can get literally tons of fat for free from the dumpster behind the local cosmetic surgery center.

That will save you a few bucks on these pricey mass produced soaps. And hey maybe you could even start your own little business selling at craft fairs or to local boutiques.

I want a bar shampoo, because less plastic (hopefully). Any recommendations?

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

good.store has bar shampoo and a lot of other regular house hold items that you might need regularly. Also all of the profits go to charity.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can vouch, it’s good stuff, smells good too. I use their cleaning products mostly but stocked my families bug out bags with the hygiene products after trying them out.

Shampoo bars can work well, but keep in mind that if you leave them wet like a soap, they will melt like a soap. I was lazy and that thing disintegrated within no time.

With fine hair this is especially true omg if a cheap “moisturizing” shampoo even looks at my hair I turn into a greasy puddle

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I discovered a single bar of $4 pure olive oil soap is all I need to shampoo and wash my entire body. Lasts a month or more. It's so nice being able to reduce that element to one small thing, especially when traveling. But this depends a lot on the thickness/moisture of your hair and your skin's oiliness and so on.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I built an outdoor shower and it’s the best life upgrade I’ve ever experienced.
