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.

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

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.

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 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours 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.

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

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Dunno about shampoo I literally use dawn soap in the shower. But fragrances are ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money. I'd rather smell like nothing if I'm not wearing Creed or Le Labo.... it's like a real, actual difference; stop buying your shit from Sephora and invest in a special occasion smell

Fringe benefits of going bald early.

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)

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Stock image libraries are staggeringly comprehensive for having images of {person} in {oddly specific situation}.

Friendly reminder you can make your own shampoo with Rosemary and coconut oil

And soap I hope...

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 2 points 10 hours ago

Check what the active ingredient is, then find that cheap

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

I got some weird dry skin/dandruff/oily scalp issue combo. Things that I have found working over a very long time struggling:

  • Out of all shampoos Head and shoulders actually has the best effect. Anything else not-specialized doesn't. Ketozonol/Nizoral does help but I am not feeling much better over HnS. And these are not suppsoed to be used long term.
  • I have tried SLES shampoo from Neutrogena. Didnt work for me like at all.
  • Water hardness is super important. My hometown had much softer water that allowed me to not to wash my head for a week and it would be fine. My current location has fucking insane hardness and I have to wash my head each 2-4 days or it starts to itch very badly. Whenever I travel, some of the time my hair feels great and I suspect that water hardness in the hotel might be much lower than at home. Maybe look into installing some kind of filter. If you live in a house, 100% invest in reverse osmosis filter at least for your bath/shower.
  • My head also gets oily quick. I usually wash with 3 shampoos. 1st shampoo - cheap 1 euro shampoo that I use just to wash majority of oil off. 2nd shampoo - deep cleaning shampoo that is also cheap - 2.50eur but it does have an effect. 3rd is HnS. The longer I soak hair with 2nd and 3rd shampoos, the better it feels afterwards.
  • Adding up to soaking point: if I take bath I soap my head quick, and each shampoo soaks my scalp for 20 minutes or so. This way head feels much nicer over the next days. In shower, 2-5 mitnues or so.
  • adding up on deep cleaning shampoo: I found a few shampoos that claim they are deep cleaning/cleansing. But upon trying, only one felt effective. If you seek for these shampoos, try more options til you find something that works.
  • Conditioners have no effect to me. I have heard that it might help in certain cases, so maybe you should try that too.

I really do hope you will find a solution to your problem. This shit sucks donkey balls and is so annoying to live with.

Hibiscus leaves, flowers and egg white from one egg (little bit coconut oil is optional). Blend them in a blender, leather all over your hair and scalp, leave it for 30 to 40 minutes and wash with water (don't use shampoo). Do it once a week.

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

It's not the cost.

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

[–] jama211@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this specific to a particular brand?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

L'Oréal (Garnier), but probably all of em tbh

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.

[–] calisti@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

You’re washing your crotch with shampoo?

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 54 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Everyone should shave their head and reject bourgeois shampoo.

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 24 points 1 day ago (6 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…

Go bald and use Dr bronners for everything.

Can't get past the religious schizo ride of a bottle.

All part of the charm.

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

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

$90?! Do they put gold in it?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Not gold but some kind of magic, because one pump of it foams up a crazy amount, and it was a 1L bottle. I think it was intended for salons because I've never seen it at a regular supermarket.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 22 hours ago

Ah ok interesting.
