    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 mean, I used to but it’s been awhile. You’d definitely want some conditioner or oil afterwards though.

          I did with long hair. It does keep the grease down but you don’t get that shampoo commercial silky smooth feel. But you do get compliments from ppl in hair styling for having healthy hair.

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

    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.

      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.

      You need to decide what you care about. If the plastic part is important to you just use any bar soap. It’ll clean your head just fine. However shampoo is meant to not only clean but moisturize and protect your scalp so it often has oils and stuff in it. The oils is what makes it runny and not really able to maintain a bar shape. You could just as easily use a bar soap and add scalp moisturizer after you shower but that would just be another plastic bottle.

      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.

        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.

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

    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.

        i use the paul allen (i think) tea tree lavender stuff and i have been getting compliments on my scent forever. occasionally i switch it up and just use their tea tree stuff but i like lavender. don’t forget the conditioner, i shampoo the hair at the beginning of the shower and then just let the conditioner soak in the scent into the hair all the rest of while i’m soaping up and &c. in the shower. it is luxurious

      Everyone should shave their head and reject bourgeois shampoo.

        i want to knock out the joists in my attic and extend my shower up another story. have it pour down from the top of the roof as a true rainfall shower. it would only cost… i could probably just move cheaper

          Well one thing I learned while building the outdoor shower was that the water temperature drops off pretty rapidly the further you are from the shower head. So you’d have to heat the heck out of the water for it to be comfortable a story down.

          Although at that point you have fuck you money so why not lol.

      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.

            which mint? i was just at the nursery and they had an entire hoop house full of mint.

            i also discovered how much fun it is to say hoop house and i’ve been annoying my wife with it. HOOP HOUSE!

              lol! I go to the local butcher shop that has a rack of Salma [TM] products and get ‘mint’

              Technically, it’s yerba buena, which is Spanish for ‘good herb’

              And Cheech and Chong notwithstanding, it’s not marijuana.

              A quick search says it’s neither peppermint nor spearmint, it’s a unique herb.

              Again, not marijuana

              Also, I thought ‘hoop house’ was a typo for ‘hot house.’
