Not really a shower thought, but a “spraying my hair with dry shampoo before a Teams meeting” thought.

    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.

      I’ll skip the rest of your comment, but you saying humans only sweat in certain regions is insane. If I am out in below freezing weather working, I sweat. You think outdoor construction workers in Canada dont sweat? Everyone sweats no matter where they live.

        I believe they’re referring to body regions, not geographical ones. They’re not against deo, just “all body” deo, whatever that is.

          Lol, I completely misread the comment. I’ll leave my comment because now in context I sound crazy.

            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
