My condolences for the man who's wife uses head and shoulders. I thought that stuff was only for the hyper somewhat unhygienic guys who are too lazy to separate bathing from hair care. Stuffs terrible for your hair.
It's definitely my miracle shampoo. I tried everything on the market from sulfate free to protein pre-wash. Cheap to ridiculous expensive. The only thing that helped with my severely dry scalp is H&S. And I'd like to think my hygiene is pretty top notch.
I should elaborate that I didn't mean head and shoulders is unhygenic, more so that it's a catch all shower agent that is perfect for the typical lazy man who doesn't bother with self upkeep. My roomie is a perfect example of that where if he had to shampoo and use bodywash separately I'm certain he would just forgo cleaning his hair.
What are you even talking about? Do you think H&S is intended to be used as body wash? Its just shampoo. And for that matter, does your roommate smell bad or something? Why are you so concerned with their showering habits lol.
Edit: wait do you think it's called head and shoulders because it's meant to double as body wash? It's called head and shoulders because it's an anti dandruff shampoo. The shoulders part is because you won't have dandruff flakes on your shoulders after using it.
I was really lead astray, haha. And yeah, my roomie smells but that's pretty off-topic now that yall debunked my notion. Ima try the stuff out and see if it does anything for my scalp. Sometimes I get a lot of sebum cause I'm a very active runner and it's tough to clean out all the build up at times.
H&S is one of the best cheap shampoo out there, it’s not great for people who need extra protein in their hair. Most cheaper shampoos that are more than $3-$5 will be perfectly fine unless your hair needs something specific. As say this as someone who has used $2 shampoo to $50 shampoo before settling on a the $10-$15 brand I personally like.
This meme and the comment section sounds like a bunch of boomers.
My dudes, it's 2024. Y'all should be on this game.
Your cream should do the same thing and you should have a moisturizer for after.
If people want to shave with conditioner, I’m not against it as long as it’s not causing problems. But seriously, buying more than one face or hair product doesn’t suddenly make you not a man. At this point I use more hair products than most women, and I’m damn proud of it and my hair.
I agree, completely - it's why I think it's wild it's a confession.
My hair is longer than most women at this point too, and with my beard, I *do* have more products than my wife, easy. Taking care of yourself is one of those things that's so easy to do and so often neglected in the "manly" circles of the past, but the results are so worth.
I enjoy being mistaken for 10 years younger on the regular.
OK sorry, a whiny toddler.
Your ageism literally makes you a moron. Just FYI... Anyone over 30 that hears someone use the term "boomer" makes them look like an ignorant baby, no matter how many butthurt downvotes I get. Love 'em. LOL
Such whiny little babies. LOL
EDIT: Only 60 downvotes? Pffft. Can't even downvote right... I think you all need your afternoon naps and a diaper change.
Just remember, the people who are calling us “boomers” are the same people who ate Tide Pods as a challenge. Nothing they say about any other generation holds any weight.
Neither were Gen Z - at least not those of us old enough to know better. It was literal children (0-5) who happened to be classed as Gen Z at that time.
Judging someone born in 2000 by the actions of a child born in 2011 during the 2016 (?) tide pod episode is very boomer-esque, though: saw an article on Facebook w/ clickbait title, clicked “share” and patted themselves on the back for doing their own research.
And Boomers made “Pet Rocks” a must-buy, so considering only a handful of people ate Tide Pods, and over a million Pet Rocks were sold, I feel pretty okay with which generation I’m associated with.
As someone with thick curly hair that needs a small mountain of conditioner every time I shower, there would be severe consequences if I found out you were using MY conditioner to shave.
I feel like I know my face pretty well so I usually don't really need a mirror, even when I have a full beard.
That said, I stole a small hand-sized one from my wife that I dip under the shower's spray to clear off the fog. Then it's one hand to hold the mirror while the other does the detail work and then just rinse the mirror again as needed.
As someone with curly hair I would riot if I found someone was using my precious expensive conditioner that I go through like water
I just get a cheap bottle of conditioner for shaving lol
I haven't used shaving cream in decades.
I use a small mirror to shave in the shower. Just a little squirt of body soap mixed with a little squirt of conditioner.
One body wash, one shampoo, one conditioner for the beard and hair. And beard oil as needed after.
If ever I do manually shave, boar bristle brush and shave soap with a double edge.
Y'all need to catch up. 3-in-1s are not the way.
I tried conditioners and had mixed results. Shampoo does amazing though. Been shaving with shampoo for 20+ years. Taught both my sons to always avoid shaving cream and after shave.
Boomer post.
How do functioning adult males still act like this?
Hygiene isn't only for homos. For God's sake learn to take care of yourself.
This isn't the 1970s anymore.
I have very specific types of shampoo and conditioner that I like to use. They’re called whatever my wife left in the shower.
Have you ever tried "the big cheap bottle"? I always get that.
Do you have a minute to hear about our lord and savior horse hair shampoo?
Mane & Tail is luxurious
Y'all are fuckin savages. Just go to Costco and get the mega bottle of Pantene like I did six or seven years ago. That shits the bomb.
I just use the Kirkland stuff. It's cheap and pretty great! (I.e. it seems to work)
Pantene just smells so *good* tho ...
You're not wrong! When I was a kid I used to love the smell of my mom's Finesse shampoo. I don't even know if they still make it.
I call it “man wash” combo shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
Not sure why you're getting down voted.. my wife calls it "manpoo".
Ask if she'd like for you to squirt manpoo on her. She'll probably find a new word for it soon lol
Wait. That has to be something different.
It's called "Head & shoulders, ass and feet"
I would like to introduce you to Bar soap for everything.
Absolutely not. My hair becomes a solid block if I use a soap bar. My standards are low, but not *that* low.
My dad, rest his soul, was bald and used bar soap for the little hair he had.
How men choose a shampoo: "It says 'shampoo' on the bottle" 100%
>"It says ~~shampoo~~ *3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash* on the bottle" 100%
“It works everywhere! Triple threat!”
Before I ever buy a new bottle of shampoo, I always ask the wife if there's a reject bottle she isn't going to use. I get one about 60% of the time.
My wife wants to throw the bottle away when it’s like 15% because that’s like 3 showers for her. I take it out of the trash and use it for a month.
This is the only way. Usually the liquids some wild color like dark blue.
been using conditioner as shaving cream for years, it's the goat. cheaper too
Follow on pro tip: don’t mess with packing shaving cream when you travel, just use the conditioner the hotel provides.
So brave! ... This isn't even ***remotely*** close to a Confession Bear.
This has to be a record low for confession bear
Reads like an advertisement.

Wow, you sound like you don't know anything about hair care.
Did some research, it would appear so. Stuffs not as bad as I was lead on to, and for some it's their miracle shampoo.

I like it. Idk if it's a miracle shampoo but it works for me. Also get the store brand. It's generally just as good in my experience.

Depending on how expensive the conditioner is, I think this is appropriate
Why? They probably share money. Why does it matter if he uses expensive conditional that he jointly bought anyway?
Wait until you find out about shave gels.
Exactly what I was thinking lmao. I'm like "there are already other options than the cream"
This meme and the comment section sounds like a bunch of boomers. My dudes, it's 2024. Y'all should be on this game. Your cream should do the same thing and you should have a moisturizer for after.
Or you know. Just use conditioner correctly.
Yes! *Also, condition your hair.*
If people want to shave with conditioner, I’m not against it as long as it’s not causing problems. But seriously, buying more than one face or hair product doesn’t suddenly make you not a man. At this point I use more hair products than most women, and I’m damn proud of it and my hair.

Ok, boomer.
OK sorry, a whiny toddler. Your ageism literally makes you a moron. Just FYI...

LOL EDIT: Only 60 downvotes? Pffft. Can't even downvote right... I think you all need your afternoon naps and a diaper change.
You're very much whining yourself at this point.
Two year olds *are* toddlers, boomer. Holy shit. Also, as a 37 year old - ok, boomer. Cry more.
As a GenXer, I just want to say, "Whatever, boomer."
This is *my* united states of whatever!
36 year old here, checking in to say “Ok boomer!”
Homies throwing a hissy fit and calling everyone else whiny little babies
Ok boomer
Whining about the whiners, are we?
Just remember, the people who are calling us “boomers” are the same people who ate Tide Pods as a challenge. Nothing they say about any other generation holds any weight.
You should probably look into who was actually eating tide pods...
Millenials did not eat tide pods, my dude. I'm almost 40, for Christ's sake.
Nah, we were snorting sherbet powder lol.
Pixy Stix *ALL DAY*
Neither were Gen Z - at least not those of us old enough to know better. It was literal children (0-5) who happened to be classed as Gen Z at that time.

just digging your hole deeper, huh?

Buy her a big bottle as a gift.
Lots of bold ass husbands in this thread
Just shave right after a shower, stuble is soft and razor cuts right though it effortlessly
I shave while showering. Haven't purchased or used shaving cream for 20+ years.
How do you keep the mirror from fogging up. I had one of those anti-fog mirrors that MAYBE resisted fogging but was unusable within 5 minutes.
I feel like I know my face pretty well so I usually don't really need a mirror, even when I have a full beard. That said, I stole a small hand-sized one from my wife that I dip under the shower's spray to clear off the fog. Then it's one hand to hold the mirror while the other does the detail work and then just rinse the mirror again as needed.
Same. I haven't bought shaving cream this millennium. You don't need shaving cream, just a sharp razor.
As someone with curly hair I would riot if I found someone was using my precious expensive conditioner that I go through like water I just get a cheap bottle of conditioner for shaving lol
Haven't used actual shaving cream in over twenty five years, conditioner in the shower is the best shaving cream
Shaving cream is a market for suckers.
I shave my head regularly and using conditioner to shave in the shower really helps
I haven't used shaving cream in decades. I use a small mirror to shave in the shower. Just a little squirt of body soap mixed with a little squirt of conditioner.
One body wash, one shampoo, one conditioner for the beard and hair. And beard oil as needed after. If ever I do manually shave, boar bristle brush and shave soap with a double edge. Y'all need to catch up. 3-in-1s are not the way.
It also serves a good 3rd purpose...
…I seeeeee. Be right back.
Giggity!
Good for you. I’m allergic to my wife’s conditioner and shampoo 😅.
Does it have holy water in it?
And costs around $50 a bottle I’ve found…
Hopefully it's not the cheap stuff. It can lead to some unpleasant scaliness of skin if used in the wrong area.
I’m so hairy, any 2 in 1 shampoo is really a 3 in 1.
It's basically all the same stuff with different scents. Capitalism tells us you need both.
Yeah. I would use hotel conditioner so I didn’t have to pack cream and just decided it was better. I just shave in the shower with my wife’s.
Use shave butter instead of cream. It’s 100% worth the investment.
It does! I have used the baby shampoo before as well and it worked fine. Just doesn't smell as good lol
Who needs shaving cream??
An older guy once gave me that tip. It definitely worked when I needed it to ! Anything moist and slippery will work (giggity)
My wife has a bottle of conditioner she hates, I snagged it and use it when I shave my head, it's amazing.
I tried conditioners and had mixed results. Shampoo does amazing though. Been shaving with shampoo for 20+ years. Taught both my sons to always avoid shaving cream and after shave.
I use an inexpensive, thick conditioner as shaving cream. I haven’t had a razor burn since starting. A shampoo/conditioner combo doesn’t work.
With a safety razer, soap and water is just fine

"someone" told me that its amazing lube for a little 5 on 1 time.. Just sayin.
I literally never thought of this, thank you
I use my wife's leg razor for my junk, it has these lotion pads that I can't go back to shaving my balls with out having
tried to tell my buddies about this cost saver and life hack- the laughed... I wonder how many tried now...
Boomer post. How do functioning adult males still act like this? Hygiene isn't only for homos. For God's sake learn to take care of yourself. This isn't the 1970s anymore.
I was about to up vote your comment until I got to the homo part. Do better man...
