Lol this is so true 😂
Men’s shampoo (or any other shower product) sucks ass. It’s why I started using women’s everything, back at 16, waay before even starting HRT.
Still cis tho :3

    Cishet man for context. I pick manic panic shampoo and conditioner for my hair and the big cheap store vanilla gel for the body.

    It’s not gendered. Both gendered versions of the products cost like 3 times more.

      Yeah, cishet dude with long hair, I’ve been using women’s hair products for decades. They’re straight up just better in 99% of cases.

      I am kind of partial to the male-coded body washes though, I do like wood scents. I usually use a nice sandalwood gel. But for hair stuff yeah basically all men’s products are garbage. You can sort of get away with it if you keep your hair chopped short but anything approaching shoulder length or longer, just save yourself the hassle and go to the women’s aisle.

      Okay, listen…
      I praise you big time for using conditioner. I don’t think I know a single man who does…also body gel? Holy shit, some men actually take care of themselves?? /s
      I’m proud of you ❤️

        …that’s weird? I thought that’s just having a normal shower?

        Shampoo for the hair, conditioner because long hair, shower gel for the body. Seriously wondering what people you’ve met in life.

          conditioner because long hair, shower gel for the body

          Uuuuuh, hello.
          I don’t know how to take care of long hair. I never used conditioner, just whatever says “shampoo” sorted by price from lowest (per amount, not bottle). I wish I could just get rid of it instead, but I have large psoriasis patch at the back of my head and neck, and the hair hides it. The only purpose, otherwise I’d rather go bald.
          As for shower gel, I can’t manage to wash it off with hard water, so I use bar soap. I also used to use bar soap for scalp and hair, but I figured it made the psoriasis worse.

            If you have any sort of knotting in your hair, conditioner softens it so you can get it out without ripping out chunks of hair.

        damn you gotta meet more gay bottoms. I think most of the ones I chat with are very good about taking care of our appearances.

        Don’t. It’s cuz I dyed my hair. For the color to stick I really started taking care of the hair. I still shower in like 10 mins tho lol.

          That’s way more haircare than most men will ever do

          I still shower in like 10 mins tho lol

          To be fair…my showers don’t take that long either, it’s really the hair drying that takes ages 😆
