Yesterday I took a shower. I thought I’d try a tip I read about brushing conditioner through my hair with a hairbrush during the shower. I meant to put a reasonable amount of conditioner in the brush, but accidentally put way too much. (Nearing the end of the bottle, at the point where just squeezing produces nothing unless I had the bottle upside down. So I’d been leaving the bottle upside down so I could get conditioner out, and forgot how fast it would come out in this instance.) I brushed anyways, figuring my hair would look all greasy when it dried from way too much product.
Nope. It looks normal. And now instead of smelling like nothing as is normal for me, it smells nice like the conditioner. Not too strong, I only just noticed this the day after the shower, as my hair came near my face and I caught a whiff of it (and immediately came to post the story on [email protected]). I still have the negative consequence of wasted conditioner, but at least my hair smells nice now and it isn’t greasy-looking as I feared.
Probably relevant that my hair is long, so still a decent length to distribute product throughout.


Fun fact, you can also put some perfume in your hair. At least arab barbers like to do that. Yes, even guys can have hair that smells nice. It may seem like a feminine thing here in the West, but when a bearded guy puts flowery perfume in his beard and hair, who am I to judge?
