I used to use it when going to my family in laws. Their shower is god awe-full, spending half a hour in semi tepid water not even strong enough to rinse all the soap out of your hair. At least with dry shampoo i could skip a day of that.
WTH is dry shampoo?
For bedridden ppl to have clean hair.
Think it's just cornflour and perfume?
Spray it on, cornflour sticks to all the grease and then they just brush it out.
Damn, Americans will put corn in everything!
To be fair, corn is native to the Americas. And it can be made into virtually anything: food, fuel, cleaning products, even plastic (PLA).
But can you make love with it?
Oh people have definitely used corn for that. It is a phallic shape.
And it's ribbed.
Nah, dry shampoo has legit use-cases. Axe body spray can be replaced with any other spray-on deodorant.
Marketing genius. Spraying a product into your dirty hair and claiming it cleans, when it just adds more gunk to remove. Just like all over body deodorant. If your entire body stinks, you need a shower, and if that does not work you have a medical condition. See a doctor. Humans only sweat in certain regions that actually need deodorant.
lol just out here making wild claims about other people’s bodies.
Where do you think that comment is wrong?
It's ablist as fuck, and the stuff does actually remove grease.
Only a small amount of the powder gets removed by brushing. It mostly functions by absorbing the grease and staying on the hair. And adding perfume. Which works, so it's great and all. Proof that it doesn't take all the grease away is that you can't just keep applying dry shampoo, eventually it gets really nasty.
I don't understand the ablist part. I've used the stuff on my daughters occasionally just because typical chaos mornings made it really useful. But I had to explain to them how they still needed to wash their hair regularly. Same would go for someone who has difficulty washing their hair for reasons other than running out of time.
Use whatever tools work for you. But the marketing of the product is quite misleading - but effective as can be seen by people thinking it actually removes a significant amount of grease from the hair.
i've never understood dry shampoo for anything other than a one off. i used it in iraq and finally figured out it was causing me to get crazy dandruff. i talked to a corpsman about it, and they were like "just fucking shower, or stink, that shit is like washing your hands with sand, nothing is accomplished. shower jarhead."
and ive lived that way ever since
I'm a little concerned you didn't know to shower before that.
fair hit. shit got weird over there. i had a lot of depression. showering was one of the signs of that. Marines weren't big on mental health treatments that didn't involve physical labor or a weight room.
I'm just messing with ya. I understand.
Didn't mean to get you down or anything.
Enjoy your day, that's an order
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
