A lot of the weird stuff they're using has, in fact, been used to effectively wash hair in pre-shampoo times.
I say this in the same sense that a lot of the stuff that's on TV Tropes has been used to make stories.

Got reminded this podcast exists when I had my Grayjay feed spammed by a million episodes, then binge watched a bunch of them while doing chores. Kind of nostalgic actually, reminds me of the days I used it to deal with the weekly and tiring lawn work I did for just a few bucks. Cheers for still keeping it going this long. (transalted lemon)

This is the most frustrating episode I've listened to in a long time.

Okay but there has to be a community of people who don't shit, like the Soylent guy did for a while. And BOY they must be steaming mad they got scooped on the name

I love these communities of people who cannot fathom an in-between. Either you eat food or every meal is soylent and you have diarrhea for the rest of your life. Either you shampoo your hair every single time you shower or you never shampoo it again.

I've been thinking the same thing, but the trouble is finding out what they'd call themselves. I feel like you'd have to just probe around wildly in search engines and stuff like a old west prospector except instead of a vein of gold you're looking for a backed up septic tank.

I remember the one Feces Retention guy on the Extra Credit semen retention episode, it doesn't seem like you'd get a lot of converts.

I can only imagine they would all be mich better served by a sulfate free shampoo. Although it usually costs a little more than regular shampoo, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than pouring honey and flower down your shower drain.

It'd be less expensive than all the bullshit they have to try! Some of the things they list get fucking spendy, especially if they're using organic products, like I assume many of them are.

Yeah, and there's plenty of woo soap shops that sell shampoo with a lot of the things they're putting in their hair.
Even the brown sugar one seems like a scalp exfoliant. Or like it would make an inadequate but tasty lip scrub.

It doesn't matter and obviously it's not grammatically correct in English, but I wanted to point out that "space question mark" is a French thing. (https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tcdnstyl-chap?lang=eng&lettr=chapsect17&info0=17.07)

I think the Reddit intro mentioned sulfate-free shampoo (or maybe just that it's the sulfates that dry you out) but that's not the kind of fix these people want. They don't want a minor lifestyle change that marginally improves their standard of living, they want a new form of asceticism to give their lives meaning.

Yeah, it's so obvious with the combination of "if I ever use shampoo, all this effort would be ruined, I must stay strong" and the galloping purity standards that make someone suggest baking soda is off-limits because it's USED IN COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS!!. I want VO5 to come out with an apple-cider vinegar formulation and really break some brains.

Well, urea is in some shampoos and skin creams, so there might be people putting piss in their hair on purpose!

If only hair care was in any way researched, understood and practiced by professionals these people could visit for care and certified hair products that would fit their hair.

That’s what I find so perplexing and interesting about groups like this—or monster cock only, or NoFap, or zero carb, or raw food, or whatever—that they’re all essentially secularizing the impulse to asceticism.
For whatever reason, people have an impulse to deny themselves certain kinds of pleasure and impose rules on themselves. I think because it just feels good to exercise control over your own will, even if there’s no practical benefit.
But it seems like a lot of those people have trouble admitting that, and in the absence of a spiritual justification for it, have to just invent fake health benefits for every ill-advised lifestyle choice.
*Kramer voice* I really like depriving myself of things. It’s fun!
