It's 100% untrue. Men are beautiful. You are beautiful. Believe in yourself and remember that the most attractive thing in the world is a kind heart and that starts with being kind to yourself.
Don't let the world make you feel ugly, they're just trying to sell you shit.
Yes! I stopped washing mine last year and it's never been healthier and it feels and smells great.
ok wait so, do you do anything with your hair? Like wash it with just water? My hair tends to get really greasy really fast, and is very long
Just wanna add that while “training” greasy hair to go longer between washes works for some people, it doesn’t work for everyone. I wash my hair every 1-2 days and it looks great. Tried going longer between washes for a while; most uncomfortable two months of my life
I really wish I knew that before I spent a full year having horrible greasy hair every other day waiting for it to get better :agony:

I spent two months cleaning it very lightly. So like, once a week I’d wash with sulfate-free shampoo, as the trend goes. It did not turn out well for me
I stopped washing my hair like six or seven years ago. It was horrifically greasy for two or three weeks, but after that it totally mellowed out.
I try to be diligent about brushing my at least hair once a day (I use a boar's bristle brush because it moves grease from the roots down through the ends. Vegan comrades might be able to suggest an alternative that works the similarly but I don't know of one off-hand). I use hot water on my scalp when I get in the shower and kind of give yourself a scalp massage to help move some of the grease down your hair. I use a cup of water with a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar as a shampoo replacement and leave that on for a little bit. I co-wash (so I use conditioner afterwards) mostly because it smells nice but I don't think this step is necessary. Rinsing with cold water is unpleasant but helps close the cuticles and makes your hair super shiny. My hair is thick as shit and required a lot of shampoo when I was using it and was still always dry. Not washing my hair with shampoo saves me a lot of money and my hair basically doesn't get greasy anymore. It doesn't work for everyone though and it's definitely uncomfortable and gross at first lol
Edit -- just read over this and it looks kind of impenetrable lol. TLDR is brush your hair, use hot water when you massage your scalp in the shower.
I used rye flour with a bit of water to make a paste then massage that into the scalp rinse then apple cider as a way of doing without the brush
No no it’s good! I’m probably gonna do a ton of research on this stuff anyway, but honestly all this has been enlightening
saving, thx for the advice
My scalp starts itching like crazy and my hair sticks together because of grease buildup. I don't know how you people do it.
