>have to use shampoo again or else I look like a hobo
this can't be right no ??? what if I stop using the shampoo altogether I mean 200 years ago people didn't use it and I am sure their hair was fine

some skin/hair types benefit from shampooing less.
some need constant cleansing and nopoo is a horrible idea, could even cause balding.
a lot of shampoos have ingredients that are bad for your scalp.
most people are completely clueless and don't know how to identify their hair type and pair it with the proper product. sometimes your hair stylist will know how to do this but sometimes they're just shilling you stuff you don't need. depends how much they paid attention in beauty school.
using the wrong product for the wrong hair is the cause of your woes most of the time.

Cognitive dissidence. Take a shower once a day so you don't stink. If you don't ever go outside you can probably get away with every other day. The meme where people only shower twice a week or every 3 days is a dumb clickbait trend in the "everything you were taught is wrong and bad" trend of the 2020s. If you don't shower in two days you just stink.
>but but once your microbiome recovers you d-d-d-d
you stink.

Wash your hair with an egg yolk. It really works

Don't listen to the schizoids in this thread, unless you're doing some kind of intense exercise you should shower every 2-3 days, even if you shower every day, it's normal and healthy to only shampoo every couple of showers, once a week, or even less. I use conditioner every shower though. Really no wash routine replaces blow drying, then using gel to make your hair do what you want it too. At the end of the day we're just telling you what works for us, you gotta experiment and see what works for you.

Put oil on it and comb

Conditioner is going to absolutely blow your mind.
