'Most millennials aren't buying enough of our shit and that's a HUGE PROBLEM that all of you definitely care about!'

That's some pretty useful advice in the comments tho. But also I'm 52 years old and have literally never used fabric softener in my life and have no idea what it's supposed to be for other than making companies like Proctor & Gamble even more money.

Also, another handy tip: 'lather, rinse, repeat' is bullshit, unless you have really thick or really oily hair and don't wash regularly, you don't need to wash it twice, the shampoo company just wants you to buy more. Same with fill marks in a washing machine, unless you're doing a huge load there's no reason to fill it all the way up.

and don’t wash regularly

Even washing hair regularly is a scam. If you wash once a week your hair will be fine. It'll look like shit for a few weeks until your scalp gets the message that you aren't stripping away all the natural oils still and that it can cut back on oil production but afterwards your hair will be healthier.

Apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil baby. (I am not a gross hippy, shampoo dries the f out of my hair and Ive gone no shampoo for ~10 years)

Your hair isn't left smelling of the vinegar after?

It rinses out really well, and the tea tree oil is used to negate any residual smell

Main reason I do vinegar is because it strips out maybe 60-70% of the oils vs shampoo
