This reminds me of the time I shared a house with 3 other guys. Once in a while I made everyone “chip in” for “dish soap”. By “dish soap” I meant one detergent we used to clean everything from dishes to the toilet. And by “chip in” I mean pouring a bit of everyone’s shower gel and shampoo into one bottle and mixing.
All in one

Well… hair. It’s about hair. Men who have short hair don’t need to take care of it much, because they’ll cut it off before it gets damaged. I’m a dude with long hair so I use shampoo for my kind of hair. But the only 2 things on my shower shelf are the shampoo and a bar of soap.
Jesus_666@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Add conditioner for me because I have super hard water. And my soap is body wash. But yeah, same principle.
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Me too. Without conditioner, my hair is a floofy mess and too coarse and tangled to even brush properly.
BeUnique@lemmy.zip 5 days ago
IDK I felt the same til I used girlie repairing conditioner for a bit and my short hair became insanely soft! I never went back. Regular shampoo and high grade unscented conditioner advertised for women is the way to go! Then get some moisturizing body wash to help with dry skin (I like the coco butter stuff).
Those all in ones suck in comparison. Plus I don’t need an underlying smell of cheap cologne on my body… I have good cologne to wear.

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.

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.
Zink@programming.dev 5 days ago
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.

I still don’t get, if the male one is capable of cleaning multiple areas of the body with no irritation, but things like normal conditioner can’t be used on the scalp, why do the manufacturers not make normal conditioner have the “safe to use on any part of the body” feature that men’s multi-clean clearly has? Then people wouldn’t have to be so careful with conditioner.
Does something in the chemistry of conditioner mean it can’t also be skin soap? The people demand answers!
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
Conditioner is for your hair… how would you not use it on the scalp?
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Shampoo exists for scalp, conditioner exists for long hair basically. You lather it into your hair held away from your head, keep it luscious and healthy looking

A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 5 days ago
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.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 days ago
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.
OozingPositron@feddit.cl 4 days ago
Absolutely, if you have long hair then products aimed at men will not give good results at all.

You know what I fucking meant.
And if you don’t, I was referring to harsh synthetic surfactants, fragrances, and all the other crap that’s loaded into those mainstream “6-in-1” crap.
Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 4 days ago
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.

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.
daannii@lemmy.world 4 days ago
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.

My wife does a multi step facial skincare routine at night. She said that my face skin is better and I get no acne and that maybe she should use my face wash… My face wash finished months ago and ive been using the hand wash to wash my face. Thats the secret to my facial skincare.

Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.
Mostly acne stems from people making too mnay oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that then clog pours. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

I grow a pretty thick beard. Along with that comes a lot of face oil, which makes it soft and smooth.
When I’m shaved, I still generate all that oil, which makes me break out hellishly.

Is that the activ e ingredient in the hand wash?
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 days ago
I think a lot of the fancy brand-name “acne treatments” actually include ingredients that cause more acne, to keep people buying it. Cause it seems like the people who put the most effort into acne treatment always have the worst acne.
That being said though, a well-structured skincare routine can make a huge difference. It doesn’t need a bunch of expensive formulas that come in tiny containers for $20+, but a good toner and a good moisturizer that both work for your skin type can work wonders.
Avoid anything with parabens (wax) and other nasties like that. Find something “low”/“no” grease and quick absorbing. Experiment with botanicals like oats&honey, but avoid anything that’s more hype than actual substance. For a toner, simple witch hazel with willow bark is really good.
If you have really dry skin, try a layer of lightweight body oil after the moisturizer (something like jojoba or almond oil), this can help seal in the moisture so the atmosphere doesn’t steal it in less than an hour.
Lastly, don’t smoke and avoid too much sun. Light to moderate exercise can improve circulation, and in general managing stress can help avoid patterns of wear (frowning a lot causes ugly wrinkles, but smile wrinkles are one of the most beautiful things. Study bitter versus happy old people and you’ll see what I mean).
A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 5 days ago
bruh, don’t you see the problem in your argument?
People who have acne will want to get rid of it, so they will buy acne treatments to at least make it less bad, people who don’t have acne won’t want to buy acne treatments because they have none in the first place.
And yes, they do work, at least is way, way, waaaaaay worse than not using them.
even if they were conspiring for whatever reason, you would only need a company to come and sell an effective treatment and everybody would flock to that company.
is just… xd

Isotretinoin worked perfectly for me, after a year of treatment I don’t have to take it ever again.
