Unfortunately, you end up having to use those shampoo savings and more to increase your condom budget. It's a hard life.
This is the best comment.
We also save a ton of time in the shower. But I just spend that extra time crying in the shower because I have no hair.
For the same reason, they walk faster, too.
Do they swim faster?

I'm bald. Yesterday I was at the store buying soap and started looking for shampoo for bald people. Couldn't find anything so figured I'd Google it (I didn't).
I don't know, I still use normal shampoo to wash my head. I have dry skin and figured using normal soap on my scalp would make it worse. All this to say I'm not saving any money.
Old Spice makes a bald care wash. I really enjoy it. Exfoliates nicely, smells really good, and moisturizes.
I've been shaving my head for fundraising events as well as my own health-related reasons off and on for ~20 years. My dermatologist suggested a specific face wash and moisturizer/sunscreen for me due to rosacea/eczema/skin allergies, so I've been using the same on my scalp whenever I shave it. The brand she recommended to me for both is CeraVe, so that's what I've been using for several years now.
You, too, could go No-Poo!
I've tried it and I turn into a human dandruff machine.
Some of us just have crap scalps.
It's because you've been shampooing daily (or however frequently). Shampoo is designed to remove the oil from your hair/scalp, so then your scalp has to compensate (and also you have to add conditioner to put it back).
The way to switch over to no-poo is to slowly increase the number of days between shampooing until it isn't an issue anymore. Only shampoo when you need to.
Also, try washing with conditioner instead of shampoo (co-wash). The oils in the conditioner bind with the oils in your hair so you still remove some of them, but it doesn't strip it all. I (a man with thick about shoulder length hair) only co-wash once every week or so. I wash with water daily. This is what's worked for me. You will have an adjustment period though because you've been putting your scalp through so much, it has to get used to that not happening.
You don't even have to go bald; you can just shave your head.
And it's still cheaper once you include haircuts. Speaking from experience.
How much money do you really spend on shampoo though?
This. Decent shampoo is only around $10 a bottle, and if you have short hair, you really only need a thimble full at a time. For those who think they need more: the lather is a lie!
I've been using the same bottle of shampoo for like 2 years and it's maybe a little less than half full. I use it to make bubble baths sometimes too lol
True, but I still have all my hair--and haven't used shampoo in two decades. I use this stuff literally head-to-toe.
So can people who aren't bald, because you don't actually need shampoo to begin with.
Yes you do lol, you'd look like one of those greasy hippies that look like they haven't showered in years.
Nah that's just what Maybelline want you to think, and you do think it, so they have won.
I haven't used shampoo on my long hair that is mid back length now. It's not at all greasy. It was for a month when I had short hair and gave up on shampoo.
Also I no longer have dandruff and my hair is more manageable, so I don't need product in my hair either.
I "shampoo" with conditioner once a week and just use hot water the rest of the time.
Waste your money on shampoo though, I don't care.
Nah you don't, I didn't use it for a long time and my hair was great! There's a period after you stop where your hair is greasy, yes, but after ~a month it settles down a lot. You still need to wash it with hot water but, if anything, in my experience it was more resilient to missing a day of washing than it is now that I'm using shampoo/conditioner again.
Edit: I should say though this is probably not for everyone. Depends on your hair type and how healthy your scalp is.
The razor blade cost comes out to more than what i was spending on shampoo…
Get a DE Razor. You can buy a 100 pack of blades for the price of 4 cartridge type blades. Plus they give a way better shave! They aren't as forgiving as the cartridge type though so you'll need to take your time until you get the knack of a DE razor.
Oh, thanks for reminding me I need to buy shampoo again!
I just buy cheap $2 bottles of shampoo and use it for my whole body. Cheaper than shower gel, and I've been doing it for over 5 years with no problems. It's all soap, right?
And haircuts
Maybe they need sunscreen though? I see bald heads in the sun reflecting back at me and wonder how often it gets burnt.
What shampoo are you using?
