Coming from a man, Woman’s hair products come across as such a scam.
As a man who used to have long hair for decades, this is just wrong. But also, usually using more than one shampoo + one conditioner is not going to make much difference.
My brother spent a week using dog shampoo because he forgot to buy new shampoo. Hair looked the same
The amount of upvotes this boomer shit has is just fucking embarrassing. Gender has absolutely zero impact on hair. It’s all genetics. I’m male and my hair is long and thin as fuck.
Gender has absolutely zero impact on hair.
I used to think this also when I had long, wavy locks. Then met my secret new friend who was hiding away in the back of my genes “male pattern baldness” and now I know that men very much have different hair concerns than most women.
Also, it’s not a joke about gender having an impact on hair, it’s a joke about gendered roles having an impact on hair and how pointless a lot of the gendered expectations and marketed products are. Take a breath and learn the difference.
Hormones can play a role as well. Anecdotally, my wife’s hair during pregnancy became fuller and less brittle. Duckduckgo “pregnancy hair”. A monthly cycle, being on hormonal birth control, etc. will likely have some effect. I definitely agree that genetics does play a bigger role, but claiming that gender/sex plays no role is definitely incorrect.
As a man with frizzy, dry and curly hair. I have to say “doubt” on the dishwashing liquid.
More like “get that fat-solvant out of my sight, or you’re gonna get it”. No shampoo, only conditioner and you barely rinse it.
“If it’s good enough for penguins, it’s good enough for me. 😎”
Counterpoint: look at any rock band from the 1970s to see what just plain washing with shampoo (very occasionally, apparently) produces. If they ever invent time travel, I’m going to let everybody else handle killing baby hitler (and baby cheetoh I suppose) and go back to the '70s with some conditioner. I will rule the rock world!
Edit: I might also try at least mentioning to people how fucked up it was that these guys were raping 14-year-old girls all the time (and sometimes the same 14-year-old girl).
Ah yes. Hair, and bdw raping children. Can’t have a day without genocide and paedophilia.
Am girl. I don’t find that the kind of shampoos and conditioners really matter. I buy all kinds of volume ones for example, and there’s barely any difference. It’s more the styling that comes after. Getting a haircut that works for your hair helps too
Part of the solution is actually not washing your hair too much, or using too much product.
Your scalp naturally produces a lot of oils etc to keep your hair healthy, and shampoo actually removes this to an extent. Conditioner helps, but it’s not the same.
Dishwashing liquid? That’s just good bedhead.
Well, technically, good bedhead is something much more satisfying, but I hope y’all get my drift.
For me it didn’t matter what I used, until I tried growing it out and trying long hair. Frizzy hair horrors, until I figured out what hair care process worked for me.
Jojoba oil and grapeseed oil are a game changer.
I never expected there were so many other long haired men here secretly dealing with hair issues! I thought I’d been dealing with this alone the last few years since I decided to stop buzzcutting myself. Now I wish we had a more active hair community. Not necessarily male only, as this post seems to show we have “human hair” and not “guy hair” or “girl hair.”
I wish
Apple cider vinegar is the trick
Why do people put so much energy into projecting identity politics on a superfluous detail like hair? Who cares? It’s all just a vanity concern, selfishly obsessed with what others think about how you look.
Does your hair make you have some intrinsic identity to others that you are or are not going for? Fuck you, I don’t care.
Do you authentically care, yourself?
Maybe you care about the politics - I can understand that. There is legitimate fear around legislating serious, dangerous things to your identity (not hair). Why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on hair???
dayummmm take a breath lol, its just a dumb meme
I 100% agree with you.
Do you care about your appearance in any capacity or do you just roll out of bed and go on with your day?
If so, why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on your appearance?
I do, of course. I even do my hair. I didn’t mean to imply that one should not care about it hygienically, just for your own health and personal self image.
I just don’t understand the urge to thrust gender identity onto hair style and then argue about what that means to the polity online.
