Who invented “lather, rinse, repeat”? I’ll bet it was someone who owns a shampoo factory. You only need one lather. The second lather is just you paying extra for the privilege of making your hair cry.
Here’s a pro tip: use lukewarm water. Hot water strips oils like a bad breakup. Cold water seals the cuticle, making your hair look shinier than a newly waxed sports car. Yes, it’s uncomfortable. But beauty is pain, and also slightly chilly.
The Conditioner Conspiracy
Conditioner is not optional; it’s a hostage negotiation with your hair. Apply it from mid-length to ends—never the scalp, unless you want to look like a deep-fried onion. Let it sit for at least three minutes. That’s three minutes of you standing in the shower like a weirdo, but it works.
Surprising fact: your hair is technically dead. Treating it with conditioner is like putting moisturizer on a corpse. But a hydrated corpse is a happy corpse.
