This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I don't use schampo, just wash my hair with water. Is this very uncommon and everyone uses shampoo frequently?
I wonder how many people need that and how many just do it because that's what they started doing.
As he points out in the video, people that use shampoo regularly will quickly get very greasy hair if they don't wash their hair with shampoo in a while. In my experience, it's directly related to how often you use shampoo- I only use shampoo about twice a week now, and my hair gets less greasy than it used to when I used shampoo more often.
Occasionally I have tried doing this, but it never ends well for me. My hair doesn't get crazy greasy if I don't wash it every day, but I do develop a lot of dandruff if I skip washing days too often. I have the opposite pattern of the person in the video. Reducing the number of shampoo sessions I get without fail causes me to develop dandruff.
Also, this past year I have picked up running. If I didn't wash my hair after my runs, I'd probably smell disgusting in no time.
I don't think there's a one size fits all solution for everyone in these sorts of things.
