    You don’t need to shampoo your hair of course. Nature never provided us with a shampoo but you’ll have nicer hair if you do.

    It’s the same for bathing obviously you don’t have to do it, in the past everyone just spelled really bad. Not bathing isn’t some magical cure for warts, and it absolutely is necessary for common decency’s sake.

      Lol, the fact that you spelled smelled as spelled made me smile.

      But yea. It was just a fact of life. People lived in the countryside isolated and surrounded by animals so it smelled bad anyway. Even when people first started living in cities there wasn’t any proper sanitation at first so you were constantly surrounded by the smell of your own and everyone else’s shit.

      Nature

      Ever visit a zoo and notice any smells, e.g. in the ape house? That’s a part of nature, of course.

      It’s just we’re trying to avoid that.

      I have to disagree about the nicer hair. Once the oils in my hair balanced out, my hair was great. It was greasy for about a week and then it just took care of itself.

      I think we need to clarify things a bit here. “Clean hair” and “Shampoo’d hair” aren’t the same things.

      Everyone should clean their hair. Most people use shampoo for that, but it’s not good for all hair types. Curly hair usually suffers with shampoo use.
