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?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In summary: He stopped washing his hair with any products and started using just cold water, in an effort to help with his dandruff problem. Overall seems to have worked for him. Seemed mildly interesting to me.

Not actually NSFW, but I tagged it because the thumbnail is a close-up of some pretty severe dandruff, and there's a few seconds of video in the middle where he shows the condition of his scalp before quitting shampoo. Just thought I'd mention, in case that makes you squeamish.

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.
