It’s a combo with the shampoo I use. How is it possible that far, far more often than not I am an outlier in the Meh polls…? The choices just don’t apply to me.
To those of you who might comment that my situation would technically qualify me for the “Always” answer choice, let me explain something to you. Fuck you.
When did this become a common speech and writing pattern?
I feel like ten years ago everybody would write, “need to be washed” or “need washing,” but now I see it all the time.
Is this regional?
@Limewater Well I do know it is common in parts of the midwest and especially in Pittsburgh (lots of family there and both parents grew up there). And yes I know it is not grammatically correct. Common there (Pittsurgh) also is pronouncing wash as worsh (which I don’t do even though mom does - dad does not - go figure).
@hchavers@Kidsandliz@Limewater
I noticed the same thing at work. Instructions would be written as a part “needs replaced”. Not sure if it’s a specific person, or if it’s common around here.
@chienfou instead of conditioner, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar-it restores the natural ph balance to your hair. Conditioners have a lot of alcohol in them that won’t help heal your hair even though it feels softer after using it.
My hair is curly. When I let it grow long, I used conditioner exclusively, and only particular conditioners without -cones, rather than shampoo.
Now I keep my hair short in an attempt to look professional, so I just use a bar of soap.
@jerk_nugget try rinsing with apple cider vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water mixed) after shampooing instead of conditioner and those knots will slide out with ease. I have long ultra curly hair and it would be impossible to comb (I don’t use brushes, they’re hard on hair) without it.
@Gypsigirl213 different (brush) strokes for different folx
my hair is color treated (vivids) as well as very fine, thin, and straight. vinegar isn’t the path for me but i know it works well for lots of people (and certainly has many other good uses). i use a wide tooth comb on wet hair, or a tangle teezer. neither is hard on my hair but curls are a whole nother story
@Gypsigirl213@jerk_nugget Have you ever tried rinsing with flat beer? (Flatflatflat, as in, leave it in a shallow bowl for 24 hours flat.)
My great-grandmother apparently used to do it. I’ve tried it once and thought it was nice; smooth strands that are neither squeaky nor conditioner-greasy.
@Gypsigirl213@whogots@ybmuG actually for awhile my favorite shampoo was lush’s cynthia sylvia stout, the first ingredient of which is in fact stout/beer.
@jerk_nugget Because back in the days when women would have their done, they’d rinse it with conditioner once a week. They only washed it once a month as creamrinsing cleans hair.
@ahacksaw Yea, that’s like the Wen stuff right? You know any light conditioner is cleansing as they all have alcohol. I sometimes just condition rather than washing and my hair comes out clean.
@ahacksaw@Gypsigirl213 I still find I need conditioner after using cleansing conditioner, especially on the ends. Of course, I use the knockoff of the brand you’re talking about.
@ahacksaw@Gypsigirl213 I don’t have curls, but I have very dry hair and I’ve found that shampoos for curly hair are usually good for me. The knockoff is called Renpure. They sell it at Target and BB&B, which I’ve found to have the most amazing selections of hair products ever.
@ahacksaw@Fuzzalini On my curls I only wash once a week (sometimes every two weeks depending) then rinse with apple cider vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water). Shampooing strips the natural oils, which dries out our hair. The hair, starved for moisture, sucks it out of the air making it frizzy. In some people stripping the natural oils causes their hair and scalp to overproduce oil, which are the people who say they have to shampoo because their hair gets greasy—it’s an endless cycle that can be broken by not shampooing as much and using ACV. ACV restores the natural ph balance, cleanses, and doesn’t strip the natural oils that seal the hair shaft. So try just the ACV rinse and shampoo only when it’s obvious you need to (which will be few and far in-between). Another note, those styling products that seal hair shafts won’t be needed to tame your curls once you’ve restored you natural oils because no more frizz. Oh and your hair will be super shiny and you’ll lose a lot less of it laying off the shampoo.
accidentally buying conditioner when trying to buy shampoo and not noticing until you use it is the worst.
On what?
@rustyh3 We’ve all got hair somewhere . . . .

@Mediocrebot?
He said:
@Mediocrebot! Wake the fuck up!
@carl669 add another one to the count
@carl669 @mediocrebot
Fuckin’ ok!
The bottle says it has shampoo and conditioner, does that count? It’s like the paint and primer in the same can.
Methylchloroisothiazolinone
@ThatsHeadly I put that @$&!#$ on everything!
I am a guy who is lazy (but I repeat myself). I look for soap, shampoo, and conditioner all together for just one pass and done.
@hchavers
Now you just gotta find something that also works as dish soap and laundry detergent.
@DVDBZN @hchavers And as a toilet cleaner, also for floors and cars. And the dog. If you have one. Fortunately cats don’t usually need washed.

What hair?
@narfcake
/giphy Himalayan cat
@narfcake condition what? my scalp?
Conditioner?
Heck yeah, it’s hot here in the summer. And heater in the winter.
Only if my hair feels like straw from being in the pool/sun too much…
@chienfou instead of conditioner, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar-it restores the natural ph balance to your hair. Conditioners have a lot of alcohol in them that won’t help heal your hair even though it feels softer after using it.
Conditioner?
I barely knew her!
I’d consider it, if I had enough hair. I’m more likely to use sunblock on my scalp in the summer.
@msqaf00 What the what?! How’d you get a picture of me from high school?
I’m a guy so…
My hair is curly. When I let it grow long, I used conditioner exclusively, and only particular conditioners without -cones, rather than shampoo.
Now I keep my hair short in an attempt to look professional, so I just use a bar of soap.
@Targaryen needs video.
my hair knots like a mofo. conditioner is absolutely mandatory unless i ever get the urge to literally rip all my hair out.
@jerk_nugget try rinsing with apple cider vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water mixed) after shampooing instead of conditioner and those knots will slide out with ease. I have long ultra curly hair and it would be impossible to comb (I don’t use brushes, they’re hard on hair) without it.

@Gypsigirl213 @jerk_nugget @ybmuG … Huh.
@jerk_nugget @whogots I haven’t tried flat beer, but I have tried beer. I also tried mayonnaise once long ago when I was in high school.
additionally:
yes, conditioner, or as my mom calls it, creamrinse.
@jerk_nugget That takes me back.
@jerk_nugget Because back in the days when women would have their done, they’d rinse it with conditioner once a week. They only washed it once a month as creamrinsing cleans hair.
Cleansing conditioner only. Or as the label says, No-Poo.
@ahacksaw Yea, that’s like the Wen stuff right? You know any light conditioner is cleansing as they all have alcohol. I sometimes just condition rather than washing and my hair comes out clean.
@ahacksaw @Gypsigirl213 I still find I need conditioner after using cleansing conditioner, especially on the ends. Of course, I use the knockoff of the brand you’re talking about.
@Fuzzalini @Gypsigirl213 I have curls, so I use DevaCurl. (Wen is the infomercial brand, right?). It’s more, er, conditioning than most conditioners.
