I'm pretty sure that "homeless man" is AI generated.

It isn't fair
No, it IS fair. I understand what you want it ALL, and you want a homeless man to have nothing, not even a hair. But it is fair, go eat your salad, baldy.
It's actually illegal to take a homeless man's hair unless he gives it to you.
Actually, it is unfair, unfair that anyone is homeless.
OP's right, it isn't fair. It isn't fair that so many people have nothing and OP's got so much and still needs to envy someone who's got nothing.
I thought he was saying using expensive shampoo damages the hair in the long term.
But I guess your interpretation is more accurate, dude is jealous.
technically estrogen works lol
Yeah but bottom man is, like, 27.
So is the guy on top
It's because hair care products are a scam. That natural body sebum is all your hair needs. Most products cause an imbalance on your scalp and you way overproduce as a response, hence hair getting gross fast. It took months of greasy hair before I got to a healthy level. I use soap in my hair at most once a week. It's often more than 7 days before I feel I should wash nowadays. I have over 12 inches of hair for reference.

Can we please stop spreading this myth? Scalps do not adjust sebum production based on how much is washed off. There's no way for dead hair cells to report oiliness to their follicles - they don't have nerves, they don't send signals.
Sebum production is controlled by hormones. Different people produce different amounts. If you find that washing your hair every few days will suffice for your skin/hair type, that's great. But that advice doesn't work for everyone. If someone with skin that naturally produces high amounts of sebum follows your advice, they may end up with Seborrheic Dermatitis, which can cause dandruff, hair damage, and hair loss.
How do you explain going from excessive oiliness in less than 30 hours to the same level of oiliness taking 7 days? It was a long transition but you're telling me I'm a freak and everyone else with the same outcome are simply outliers? I know there's a genetic aspect, but I had a very real change over time.
There’s nothing wrong with it if it works for you.
Personally, I produce a lot of sebum, and I’ve had to consult my dermatologist about it. I’m not a medical expert and I won’t claim to be - I just don’t want people who are in my boat to follow medical advice that could make their problems worse. One size does not fit all.
Someone just tried to educate you. Which part of what you were just told are you taking issue with?
Sadly this is not true for everyone. I tried hair training for over a year and had a natural cap at like 4 days no matter what...
I also started doing this about 2 years ago, and if anything the rate of hair loss is increasing. I suspect it's unrelated to either and more a factor of my genetics and age.
Unfortunately it makes the hair a bit smelly.
I mean hair is governed by your genes like everything else. Experiencing homelessness or not, if you got those Kurt Russel genes, you’re good. I don’t, but I still think I look good.
Yeah, how does this happen?
Possibly too much washing and shampoo. Washing your hair too much can be damaging to your hair.
That what I’ve told all my girlfriends. They’ve all said I have beautiful eyelashes and they want to know if I do anything to them.
I have literally never touched an eyelash besides wiping one out of my eye.
When I had shoulder length hair, I washed it with head and shoulders every other day and never got split ends.
Now some of that is probably genetics, but also I do think that so many beauty products that women are sold is designed to keep them buying shit to “fix” things that their body will eventually fix on its own. Humans didn’t evolve washing their hair with 3 different soaps every day. Hair just kind of takes care of itself, and the only thing that might need fixing is dandruff.
It is 99% genetics
My ex was always fascinated with how soft my hair was compared to hers and generally in good condition. She refused to believe I didn't use any product as from an all in one shampoo.
Meanwhile, she dyed her hair once a month and had an entire shelf of different products that were supposed to give her volume, bounce and spring while enhancing the color. Some days I swear her hair smelt like spray paint and felt like sand paper.
Edit: some English
Meanwhile, she died
My god
her hair
Oh, a typo
Oh my God we're having a fire...sale
Same. However, I started using Redken shampoo and conditioner and that shit is amazing. It costs over $100 but lasts me forever and makes my hair so nice. But I only use it every few days.
Can confirm, don't do anything special to my hair, look like a Maybelline commercial
Genes and hats. And I mean like wearing hats 99% of the time. Your hair and scalp need oxygen.
That sounds like a myth. I had a friend who lost his hair in his early 20es. People told him it's because he was wearing hats most of the time. Another friend lost his hair at the same time and was never wearing a hat. I still have most of my hair at 40 and i wear a lot of hats and always have.
Like a rubber hat? I also doubt that the hair itself "needs oxygen" so much that a tissu will prevent the dead thing to like look ok?
I'd say genes and too much cleaning away fats and stuff from the scalp.
People should google "shampoo hair loss lawsuit" and see for yourself. Dozens are settled for 7-8 digit sums just in the last few years and many on going.
I gotta say since I started cutting my hair super short and only washing it with water and unscented organic soap it has entirely stopped falling out. Nothing has grown back but still. It's not all genes.
Take DHT blockers
Stress.
Had to scroll all the way down to find the right answer…
Just shave your head. Most people can rock it. I shave my head and I am not balding at all, because I like the look and just can't be bothered to "care for" my hair.
I still have most of my hair and for the pat 20 years i ctu my hair short every other year. And i'm absolutely coocked with no hair.
Holup
And we ask which one is living life right?!
