I have a nicer shampoo that's about 3x as expensive, but it's also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I've taken a shower.

So yeah, I think it's worth it.

Everyone should shave their head and reject bourgeois shampoo.

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 25 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I literally did this at the first sign on a receding hairline. I already had a beard and glasses so I figured it was time to complete the look. You still need to put something moisturising on your head though and so I do still use some shampoo so the damn capitalists win again…

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 5 days ago

Shampoo is like the opposite of moisturizing.

I just use my face lotion.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is there a reason you can't just use moisturizer?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's what the Big Moisturizer Conglomerate wants.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Big Moist dont play!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Uhhh the point of shampoo is to remove oils…

Recently moved to an area with hard water. Wife and I were noticing more hair loss while showering. Turns out an ingredient "EDTA" can help remove buildup from hard water that damages hair. This is a common ingredient in expensive shampoos but it's also in Head and Shoulders. Wife started using expensive shampoos to help and I switched to Head and Shoulders. She just ended up using my shampoo(much cheaper) and it's been working well for us. Hope this helps others.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago

We've got hard water and I'm trying to get my partner to try a chelating (mineral-removing) shampoo on his long, curly hair. His poor scalp is so itchy and I think it's the hard water.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's because well know brands like head and shoulders are incentivized to make their product actually decent if not good.

In general, people aren't dumb. They can tell if something is crap or something is good.

The real fact of the matter is making good shampoo or shower gel doesn't cost a lot.

Personally for me Old spice with a hint of sandalwood, top notch.

[–] CorneliusTalmadge@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Friendly reminder you can make your own soap at home with lye and fat.

Now you can get lye from hardware stores at a reasonable price. But you can get literally tons of fat for free from the dumpster behind the local cosmetic surgery center.

That will save you a few bucks on these pricey mass produced soaps. And hey maybe you could even start your own little business selling at craft fairs or to local boutiques.

[–] Sagan_Wept@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

I started a club of soap makers using this one simple trick!

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (8 children)

I have dandruff issues and basically tried everything. The only shampoo that seems to work is this$40 little bottle from Ulta. I'm pissed, is there anything else?

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Check what the active ingredient is, then find that cheap

i go to sally's beauty supply and get the knockoff brand (basically what's in the little expensive bottle but in a big white bottle and no brand labeling) for hella cheap. i smell delicious all day and my beard is lush and smooth

Where do you get stock images of a person crying in an outdoor shower, anyway?

(Don't worry, I'm not going to use them without copyright, it's purely for a sex kink)

Don't even get started on conditioner.

Fringe benefits of going bald early.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago (3 children)

$90?! Do they put gold in it?

We usually only talk about stage 3 of enshittification but in stage 1 the product is amazing and affordable.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 8 points 5 days ago

I switched to exclusively bath and body works soap. It cuts though automotive grease like no ones business and i feel bonita.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I want a bar shampoo, because less plastic (hopefully). Any recommendations?

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

good.store has bar shampoo and a lot of other regular house hold items that you might need regularly. Also all of the profits go to charity.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can vouch, it’s good stuff, smells good too. I use their cleaning products mostly but stocked my families bug out bags with the hygiene products after trying them out.

Shampoo bars can work well, but keep in mind that if you leave them wet like a soap, they will melt like a soap. I was lazy and that thing disintegrated within no time.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

I like Lush's cinnamon one.

With fine hair this is especially true omg if a cheap “moisturizing” shampoo even looks at my hair I turn into a greasy puddle

True story.

I was at the supermarket and I was about to pick up a bottle of premium steak sauce. The guy walking by me says that I should look at the label; it's just ketchup and horse radish and I can make it better at home. I check and he's right. I thank him and go on.

A few minutes later I see the same guy buying bottled ice tea.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 42 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I his defense, have you ever tried to make iced tea with ketchup and horseradish? It’s fucking nasty.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The ol steak house special brew.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Hold my Brisk, I'm going in

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

This is why we are social beings. We're also kinda dumb sometimes and help each other a lot.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I've found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.

It's not the cost.

The nicer shampoo is made by a company that supports the IDF

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I discovered a single bar of $4 pure olive oil soap is all I need to shampoo and wash my entire body. Lasts a month or more. It's so nice being able to reduce that element to one small thing, especially when traveling. But this depends a lot on the thickness/moisture of your hair and your skin's oiliness and so on.
