No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's all the same crap and you're buying packaging on marketing hype.
Frankly, people don't even need shampoo, even with long hair.
Yeah, you have to get over the hump of your scalp over producing oil, because you've been constantly stripping it needlessly, thus resulting in overproduction of oil. Once you let it get back into balance, you'll never need shampoo again.
I haven't shampooed my hair in 6 years, and women absolutely swoon when they touch my hair. I don't have to do anything to it to make it look like I spent a lot of money.
You know, I’ve heard this, but I think it still must depend on the person. I tried not washing for a year or so and it was a nightmare. I can’t remember how long I would go without shampooing, certainly no more than three or four days, but it was just gross, even brushing and combing the shit out of it.
Now I wash nightly and it’s great and I don’t even think about it.
Question though, were you still washing your hair with water and mild massage with fingertips? Because that's what I do. Just wondering.
Also you're replying seems to indicate that you would stop washing but you would shampoo every 4 days or so? If I have that right, then I would suggest you're not really doing what I'm talking about which is to continue washing your hair with water but just stop the shampoo altogether.
It took me about 6 weeks for my scalp to stop over producing. I can admit that it was pretty disgusting looking for a while until it all balanced out.
Yeah I was washing with just water nightly and brushing after, but still shampooing every few days (expecting I would eventually stop shampooing altogether). Maybe that was the problem.
One day I’ll try again using your method :)
Thanks for replying!
