  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.

    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.

      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.

      my hair is healthier

      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.

    • ericatty@infosec.pub ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

  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.

  source

  • ViatorOmnium@piefed.social ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

    source

    • xxce2AAb@feddit.dk ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Huh. Is dandruff not a thing that happens to women? I wouldn’t know.

    For the pants, it’s partly the hip/waist ratio and partly the extra bunchy fabric in the crotch region.

    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.

    source
  • Blackfeathr@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      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.

    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.

      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

  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.

  source
• Gerudo@lemmy.zip ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  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.

  shampoo is bad for your head

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

  all the pollution, sweat, salt, urea, and dead skin rinse out.

    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.

  But maybe don’t pick the first cheapest thing.
  I got some 2-in-1 shampoo+ shower gel that was cheap. Just the first one.

  “With menthol”

• fishos@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      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.

  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.
