I’m taking a shower at someone else’s house and I noticed they have 1 bottle that says “3-in-1, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash”.

Why isn’t this the standard? Why do we even need 3 different types of soaps to bathe?? Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??

I just finished showering with the 3-1 soap and I don’t feel any difference between the 1 soap vs the 3 soaps I have at home.

    Being a short haired dude I struggle to understand how hair, which is basically dead tissue would benefit from moisturizing

    What about leather, could it benefit from applying a layer of oil? Or wood? Or rubber? Or cast iron? Living tissue is not the only thing physically affected by moisture levels.

    Oil seals in moisture to prevent hair from drying out, which, obviously, will change it’s texture and elasticity. The skin on your head naturally produces grease to keep your hair moisturized, but when you wash with soap, it strips that grease out. If you shower regularly, you need to replace it.

    I used the word “health” because it is commonly used to describe hair texture. You won’t be medically unhealthy if you don’t use conditioner, but your hair will probably be dry as shit and frizzy.
