    It isn’t fair

    No, it IS fair. I understand what you want it ALL, and you want a homeless man to have nothing, not even a hair. But it is fair, go eat your salad, baldy.

      I thought he was saying using expensive shampoo damages the hair in the long term.

      But I guess your interpretation is more accurate, dude is jealous.

    I mean hair is governed by your genes like everything else. Experiencing homelessness or not, if you got those Kurt Russel genes, you’re good. I don’t, but I still think I look good.

    It’s because hair care products are a scam. That natural body sebum is all your hair needs. Most products cause an imbalance on your scalp and you way overproduce as a response, hence hair getting gross fast. It took months of greasy hair before I got to a healthy level. I use soap in my hair at most once a week. It’s often more than 7 days before I feel I should wash nowadays. I have over 12 inches of hair for reference.

      cause an imbalance on your scalp and you way overproduce as a response, hence hair getting gross fast.

      Can we please stop spreading this myth? Scalps do not adjust sebum production based on how much is washed off. There’s no way for dead hair cells to report oiliness to their follicles - they don’t have nerves, they don’t send signals.

      Sebum production is controlled by hormones. Different people produce different amounts. If you find that washing your hair every few days will suffice for your skin/hair type, that’s great. But that advice doesn’t work for everyone. If someone with skin that naturally produces high amounts of sebum follows your advice, they may end up with Seborrheic Dermatitis, which can cause dandruff, hair damage, and hair loss.

        How do you explain going from excessive oiliness in less than 30 hours to the same level of oiliness taking 7 days? It was a long transition but you’re telling me I’m a freak and everyone else with the same outcome are simply outliers? I know there’s a genetic aspect, but I had a very real change over time.

    Just shave your head. Most people can rock it. I shave my head and I am not balding at all, because I like the look and just can’t be bothered to “care for” my hair.
