Last inch of mine look like a 5 year old toothbrush with Y shaped ends.
I don’t have a better description for that.ericatty@infosec.pub 2 weeks ago
Those are called split ends. If you have a lot of them, it’s best to get a trim (just enough to snip off the split ends) and then try to figure out what is causing them.
You can’t repair them. You can only get rid of them and then avoid them. Or keep getting maintenance trims.
With split ends trimming = longer hair over time.
Source: I had them so bad for years that my hair would break off and not get any longer looking. For me, it was too much heat (hair dryer and curling iron every day)

Also the specialized shampoo is 15.99, the 17-in-1 everything-soap is 1.19.
But the specialized shampoo is pink, so that you know that’s the one you’re supposed to buy.

I use the same soap for washing my floors as for washing me. However I don’t use it’s toothpaste function. Dr Brokers is amazing.

Assuming there’s any truth to that, why wouldn’t women just use the 6 in 1 shampoo.
…And man-pants with pockets, while we’re on the topic. I suppose there might be issues in the hip-department there, though.
ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
I think it’s not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.
And it’s not like there aren’t specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 3 weeks ago
Huh. Is dandruff not a thing that happens to women? I wouldn’t know.
marcos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Almost everything on the market is shit and will destroy your hair. That includes the 6 in 1 shampoo, men just usually have less hair.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
For the pants, it’s partly the hip/waist ratio and partly the extra bunchy fabric in the crotch region.
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Some already do.
And man pants aren’t that big of a hurdle to get used to. Just need to take measurements of waistband and inseam and you’ve got the size to look for in mens pants. Thats what I like about them: they have much better sizing labels than the nebulous/arbitrary size numbers on women’s pants.
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
Whatever works, right? Right now I’m wearing this really nice pair of sturdy heavy-duty felt-lined jeans from Duluth Trading Company which are supposedly made for women (albeit with perfectly nice pockets) - not that I care one whit. They fit perfectly, and are generally lovely.

When I was in high school the trend was baggy pants and lots of women did wear men’s pants.

Hip stuff only matters if you’re trying to have form fitting clothing. It sucks for women, but at the same time you’re not required to buy that crap. Be comfortable.
protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
are they even form fitting clothes for man? I just buy the cheapest man pants that are baggy, fit me, is compatible with belts and is made with 100% cotton
absentbird@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s nonsense, and men with longer hair who use 6 in 1 have bad results. Longer hair takes more treatment, hair is usually vitalized by oils from the scalp, so the further away from the scalp the more help it needs to stay healthy.

The trick for everyone, use the cheapest shampoo you are comfortable using. Spend the time and money to find a good conditioner for your hair and scalp type. I need antidandruff shampoo and use a light leave in conditioner. You’d think it used $40 products from the salon.
gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
I’m sorry, but men’s 6 in 1 soap sucks ass. The moment I tried shampoo and conditioner for women, my (at the time short) hair got way better and I never looked back. Now that I have long hair I’m not even going to consider washing with the hair destroyer 2000 again. The image is wrong, the “conditional soap” is way better because it’s not just soap.
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
It’s so weird, I’ve tried various shampoos and conditioners of every type and my hair just seems happiest with the cheapest shampoo I can find with absolutely no conditioner. With anything else I wind up with horible dandruff, hair which gets greasy within 6 hours of taking a shower, or hair which dries out so bad it looks like I got the worlds shittiest perm. But as long as I use some cheap ass generic mens shampoo that’s scented like a verb then my hair is fine.

only using a no wax high protein conditioner scrubbing your scalp then scrubby rinse will change your hair for the better in two weeks.

I’m pretty sure how well your hair looks (or really, how well you look overall) has more to do with your physical and (importantly) mental health than with what shampoo you’re using.
It’s just that in the US specifically, the extremely poor mental health of many women has been so normalized that we don’t even perceive it as such anymore. It’s just that society treats women so absurdly badly, it’s not even something i can put into words anymore. And that shows.

I had to do it after Burning Man cause that’s all the gas station had. Granted, my hair was dirty with mud and unwashed for a week, but still.
It was a horrible mess. The 2-in-1 product didn’t do either job well - washing or conditioning. My long gorgeous hair turned into near dreads and felt so nasty. Never again.

I have a ton of hair so I’ve tried a ton of different products and types. I found the $10 highly moisturizing stuff to be the most effective. It also lasts a while because it’s not super watery. The dish detergent quality stuff makes my hair brittle and fall out. Which is pretty inconvenient since it’s about 2ft long at this point.

fishos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah, more like:
Man: Washes hair daily. That’s it.
Woman: Only washes/wets hair sometimes. Uses lots and lots of various chemicals to force various styles. Lots of blow drying. Hair dyes. Then wonders why hair is obviously chemically and physically damaged.
The problem is most women put TOO much effort into their hair, trying to make it things it’s not, and end up damaging it. Men tend to keep it short and simple and their hair doesn’t end up as damaged.
Also, you notice the Fabio guys a lot more than you notice the broccoli haired dorks. You remember that one hot guy more than you remember the dozens of unkempt ones.

Most women have long hair. Long here requires more maintenance. It’s that simple.
Stop making pseudoscientific excuses about chemicals to reinforce your own views on gender.
fishos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m a dude with belly button length hair who constantly gets asked how I do it. It has nothing to do with gender. If anything, it’s the misogynistic culture telling you that you MUST do all these things in order to be pretty when most of those things are just getting you to buy more useless products. My hair is sleek and shiny and all I do is use Garnier Fructis shampoo once a week, and their conditioner daily. I let my hair air dry. The end.
But yeah, I’m just some hateful man. Whatever loser.

When your hair is short, you can wash it with Gatorade and it’ll look acceptable. The longer it is, the more you have to maintain it. I’m a guy who grew his hair out.
Afaithfulnihilist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I’m a long haired freaky people and have been for almost 40 years but I found my hair is healthier if I rinse it regularly, wash it once or twice a month and condition it at the same time.
I use Nizoral AD (some almost medicated antindandruff thing) and Head and shoulders conditioner twice a month at most.
I still have my long luxurious hippy hair and I’m told there is no recession yet so I got that going for me.
JillyB@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago
I don’t necessarily mean more maintenance as in more washing/conditioning. I mean that you have to more carefully consider what your hair needs. You actually need to wash your hair more often with short hair since the grease has less room to spread out. When I was growing my hair out, I knew I didn’t want to look like the long-haired metal-head with a big frizzy mess. I gradually started washing it less and conditioning it more. Now I don’t condition but I oil it after washing. That seems to keep the split ends at bay and give some nice locks without too much greasiness. If I still washed it every time I showered like I did with short hair, it would look like brittle shit.
drath@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
As another middle-aged long hair guy who has been approached numerous times by women asking about my haircare routine, I think there are multiple components to this:
Hair is most definitely affected by hormones, multiple women told me that their hair becomes straw-like during periods or how they lost a lot of hair after pregnancy and I was like sorry can’t relate 😅 I honestly believe if more men didn’t cut their hair short they’d be generally better looking than women’s, well, until they start balding.
Some kind of pink tax or whatever. Every shampoo that I tried in a cute semi-transparent colored bottle that boasted some bullshit like lavender extract, durian aroma, ginkgo biloba seeds and such, has always destroyed my hair and took months to recover. Cheap shampoos that plain-ish looking packaging(pantene, head&shoulders, syoss) have worked well for me, with no noticeable difference from the fancy 5x pricier shampoos that my girlfriend has forced me to try. My cousin even uses plain soda bar and his hair is looking even better than mine.
Less is more. It seems like every other woman I know are constantly fucking with their hair all the time. Wash two times a day, apply conditioner, then another conditioner, then a spray, and serum, a gel, and mousse, add perfume on top, mix a whole chemical lab on top of their head, then curl them, then straighten them back up, apply a different tightly knit hairstyle every day, then cut them short because of a break up, then color them, then bleach and color them again into another color, then cut them with a guillotine because that’s the trend nowadays, then straight up rip chunks of them out because of stress. Like girl, all you need is to fuck off your hair and just wash them once every 3-5 days, and only rinse on others. Then just let the nature do it’s thing, and if it doesn’t, you need to pay a visit to a trichologist, dermatologist and probably also gastroenterologist and therapist, not yet another bottle on the shelf.

There’s no such thing as healthy hair, it’s only dead cells. That’s why ads always say they make your hair “healthy-looking.”
You can keep it looking nicer, though.

i have really long hair for a dude (longer than my back), and wsash my hair nearly once a week, with whatever soap or shampoo i can find (i have washed my hair with dish soap previosly).
Imo the only thing that matters is do not let your hair get dirty (tie in a bun for example) and you are mostly good to go.
