If our hair naturally gets greasy overnight it must be doing something good. Humans are pretty much the only animals that use soap to wash off things our bodies provide.

Beneficial bacteria?

Did you know if you don't shower for a month you stop stinking?

I did this once when I was out of work. I smelled great. Soap washes off what we need to stay fit and healthy.

lmao, i'm gonna need 3 witness statements to confirm you didn't stink after a month of not bathing. Maybe you didn't smell yourself, but you probably disgusted everyone around you like the stench of a brony convention.

Because clothing.

Animals dont wear clothes.

Also long hair might also be a useless vanity mutation, for humans who live with tools and some form of society.

No it's for real. When I showered daily and skipped deodorant for a day I'd smell myself.

When I didn't shower for a month I didn't even need deodorant. The natural bacteria ate the stench away.

I have known a few people who said they didn't need deodorant because they didn't smell. They all reeked like a dead elephant.

Your stench is always going to be not as bad to yourself as others.

It's why you can tolerate taking a dump.

Dats cause it takes more than a day for nose blindness to kick in.

In order for this to actually be true everyone would have to stop so everyone has nose blindness

The part about hair becoming self-cleaning after a month or two of not washing it is actually real. I can attest to this cuz I rarely ever wash my hair and it always looks great.

The part about not being smelly after not bathing for a month is not real though. I can attest to this cuz my wife doesn't shower much and she always stinks lol.

There was a dude a few years back who got banned from MTG tournaments because he posed behind people who had open buttcracks hanging out to shame them.

...he was in a lot of pictures.

That really isn't the issue. The sweat from most sweat glands on humans is like mostly just water and salts and doesn't stink. The issue is with a certain type of sweat gland that produces a sweat that contains stuff for bacteria to munch on and create stink.

There is a whole movement of no soapers, people who just rinse daily with their hands and don't use any kind of soap. If they use deodorant, it's something light and natural. They swear they don't stink and others don't notice but idk about the veracity of those claims.

I tried to give it a try but I couldn't even get past one day because I need extra strength science to combat my stank.

I went about five years without using shampoo. The soap strips the oils, then your body produces more to compensate. Then your hair is greasy so you use more shampoo. It's an endless cycle. Took a few months to get to what I assume is natural and normal.

No idea why I went back to shampoo.

Yeah, this one actually works. Shampoo is okay to use occasionally, but most of the time I just use conditioner to clean my hair without stripping off all the oils and drying my hair out.
