Why would you use shampoo, a HAIR cleaner, if you are bald?

Ouch, that was cold, deepseas71. ;-)

If I were bald I wouldn’t use shampoo. Shampoo has a definite tendency towards drying out your skin.

Not being bald though, I don’t know what most bald men do. But soap would be my weapon of choice.

I am a moron and did not see bald in the question

apologies

I’m not bald, but my hair is really short. I use soap on my beard and hair. It’s just easier and I only have to buy a bar of soap every once and a while.

It is better to use shampoo. Because the head skin is different than the skin of the rest of the body. It is quite sensitive and it is better to use shampoo.

Soap

Shampoo is like a vitamin for your hair. If you have no hair, there is no point rather than to just make your hair smell good if you don’t like the odor of your soup (FOR EXAMPLE lol)

A bald friend once said the worst thing about being bald is that when you wash your face in the morning you don’t know where to stop

@Harp has it. There is no end from face washing, you just keep going…so soap it is.

I use shampoo. I have no idea why, but when I just use soap, my scalp feels slick and slimy all day. The rest of my body on which I use soap does not have this problem. I stopped trying to figure it out about a month after I shaved my head.

(and yes, I get some pretty weird looks in the checkout lane when I’m buying shampoo)

@MrItty

Well in the way i see it, your head when you are bald is supposed to be slick and slimy as you pointed out. :P

MrItty's avatar

@bluedoggiant , no it’s really not. There is nothing worse that putting your hand on your head and immediately saying “ew!” and having to go wash your hand. Yuck.

bluedoggiant's avatar

well…. LOL not slimy

but slick, yea.

I guess I’m interpreting you incorrectly. I guess “shiny” is the correct word. :)

Don’t they just dust it?
