…and they’re both just repackaged Suave®…
Listen, I like my shampoo like I like my man. White, pasty and offensive.
In return, Women get to smell like coconuts and vanilla, while we men are relegated to scents like "burnt charcoal and 7 year old engine oil"
There's no laws preventing you from using what you perceive as women's hair care products.
My baldness sufficiently prevents me from using them.
There's always butt hair.
That's true, my butt hair could do with an occasional shampoo. Maybe a fresh style too, I've been wearing it for ages just parted in the middle.
My husband is bald but like to use my nice smelling shampoo on his beard every now and again. Pamper yourself.
Yes, but I think the (true) point was that male-marketed products are always either:
- Arctic freshness 0°K we'll make you feel like you're naked on an iceberg in the middle of the North Pole
Or:
- Now you smell like your grandfather! Some wood, musk, and cedar cones
Why is it so and what does it tell of our society and weird expectations? A great deal of men do NOT appreciate this approach, and sure turn to the products marketed for women.
We should either break that insanely entrenched stereotype about "masculine" scents, or better just ditch product gendering altogether.
Yay for men smelling like vanilla and strawberry yoghurt!
Reject marketing. Reject gender roles. Reject artificial constructs that only serve to oppress and control you.
Easier said than done, but seriously fuck marketing.
Easy, it’s the more expensive ones.
Shea Moisture products score very high in the curly girl ratings scale and you can pick them up at walgreens for not much more than old spice hair products.
it is more expensive but only like 25% more and the quality difference is huge.
I switched and my hair is sooooooo soft now.
Do you have something against 7 year old engine oil?
* Can not legally be called "shampoo"
Ah, a sham-shampoo.
Sham-shampoo is better than sham-poo.
I use womens deodorant, not fruity ones but "fresh" ones i guess. Can't stand mens deodorant, reminds me of locker room stank.
reminds me of locker room stank
I wonder why
I'm using one that's labeled as "Cobalt". Smdh doesn't smell anything like actual cobalt, what a ripoff
Same as the shower gel, where there are lots of "flavours" and then some just labelled "MEN" with no indication of what they smell of.^[Engine oil and Swarfega]
Does nobody use 17 in 1 hair detergent, body wash, conditioner, deoderant, moisturizer, hand soap, shaving cream, beard oil, lip balm, callous remover, hand sanitizer, bubble bath solution, epsom salt, dandruff treatment, cologne, hair gel, and junk defunker anymore?
Don’t forget leather conditioner, rust remover, engine degreaser, paint thinner, weed killer, barbecue charcoal starter, epoxy cure accelerator!
Only if it has at least 93 octane rating and no less than 40% alcohol content.
Out here in hard water country we just call that "Dove"
Seriously if you're looking for a soap that just plain works in ANY water and doesn't leave your skin feeling like it shrank a size, a good old bar of Dove is the answer.
Then the fuckers start putting more perfumes in it.
Goddamn, that pisses me off. Had to find another AIO shampoo that didn't make my eyes burn when I used it. Used Pert for 20+ years until some marketing asshat forgot who the demographic was.
From your hair, to your car, to your industrial kiln, Shimpoo will make it shine.
I went to get a massage for the first time. You can have a scent during your massage, so I was like why not? So they listed a huge list of smells and flavors. And one of the scents they had was cedar. Of course I picked that one. The masseuse was immediately like "I would say like 80% of all of the guys that come in here pick cedar." No regrets, it smelled great. Reminded me of woodworking.
Jimmy: "Mane n' Tail." Is this horse shampoo?
Chazz: Yes, it is.
Jimmy: Do you use this stuff on your hair?
Chazz: Uh-huh.
Jimmy: "For a lustrous coat." Does this actually work?
Chazz: You bet your ass it does. It makes my hair shine like Orion's belt...

They forgot to add a list of ingredients that makes it sound like it is a fruit salad.
Those are both fancy. I use bicarb
A bread roll in each hand?
Bicarb means being attracted to both bagels and baguettes
I thought it meant ‘once every other carb’…?
95% similarity in ingredients, save for a small amount of extra moisturizer and scenting in the wife's.
Shimpoo also doubles as all purpose lubricant, engine oil, degreaser, pipe declogger, raticide, barbecue sauce, hair pomade, and SPF 50+ sunscreen.
Women sometimes have big vats of products too. I learned years ago that if my SO had a large bottle of lotion it cost $5.99, but the 3 oz. bottle was $59.99.
In the Netherlands, they stick English on packaging for prestige rather than French. Makes me laugh fairly often to see.
"Essence of Whispered Dreams."
That actually sounds crazy cool, I would definitely buy that for my wife if it was available. Also the color is absolutely perfect.
Wait till I tell you about the $1000s I spend on skin care…yep I said it
