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. 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.

Don’t even get started on conditioner.

Go bald and use Dr bronners for everything.

It’s not the cost. The nicer shampoo is made by a company that supports the IDF

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?

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

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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

I just use ivory body wash to clean everything including my hair (including beard) so no shampoo required.

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

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