Randoman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I'm putting this thread here since this thread would be overloaded with joke and derogatory posts in FFtF. So here's a question that might be weird for you guys: when the guy/male shampoo runs out and you're taking a shower or bath, do you use the girl shampoo? I suppose this question wouldn't be applicable to guys who live alone or with other guys only, but pretend you were in that same situation with girl shampoo available and answer accordingly. As for how to apply this question to you girls, I guess it's not as weird when girls use guy shampoo. Well, feel free to answer in regards to if you'd use guy shampoo when girl shampoo runs out, or if you'd find it weird if a guy used girl shampoo when it runs out. Shampoo, shampoo, shampoo... wow. It's a really funny and amusing word when you think about it. Edited January 13, 2015 by Randoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Normally, there's basically no difference between products and marketing different ones to each gender is more of a marketing scheme, so nobody really has to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So many products these days are unnecessarily gendered that it's not even worth giving a shit 99.99% of the time. Honestly I don't even pay attention to the text on the shampoo bottle most of the time. Very rarely are any of the different shampoo types' alleged special properties even relevant since all I really care about is getting my hair clean. tl;dr There is absolutely nothing weird about it at all. There isn't even really a reason to go out of your way to buy "men's" or "women's" shampoo specifically, just get whatever is cheap and doesn't contain anything you're allergic to.

Sock Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 ...There is gender-specific shampoo? SHAMPOO?! I don't... I... What...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Don't forget soap and other various toiletries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person123 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Gender specific shampoo is really more of a Marketing thing. The only real difference should be the smell. There are scentless shampoos out there too if it's really that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randa Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 since i only use body wash shampoo combos i probably would just go get another bottle instead, but its not really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I never really thought much of it. I use conditioner and there's very few "manly" conditioners, so girly shampoo it is for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyegg Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) what why are there gendered shampoos why is this a thing this shouldn't be a thing i guess i would if there was no scent and if i actually used shampoos Edited January 13, 2015 by Blyvern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I didn't even know gendered shampoo was a thing. I use whatever is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Is this seriously a thing? I use whatever shampoo i have at the moment. I'm also pretty damn certain the shampoo i'm currently using might be for women and i could care less As long as it helps my hair *Waves 'fro* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maji Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Pantene Pro B is like the bee's knees, my hair will forever be shiny and smell like perfume and pleasantries. In fact, I rather dislike masculine shampoo, it's too general. I'm pretty sure shampoo that can also be used as body wash isn't going to do my hair any justice.

Skynstein Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) The only "girl shampoo" I know is this. Seriously, though: but of course. I may even prefer it to male shampoo if it cleans my hair better. Edited January 13, 2015 by Cerberus87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyWalk Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah i've used girls shampoo before, but I've stopped using shampoo frequently since I was 10 so "male" shampoo would prob never run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Dragon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 To be honest, I think the girly shampoo makes my hair feel nicer than my "manly" shampoo. It never caused me any problems in the past so I'd say its fine and if you think people will make fun of you, having nice smelling hair is rather flattering and that's rarely happened.

Kirie Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My husband and I use female-gendered shower products exclusively. The shampoo/conditioner is kind of a no-brainer because his hair is about 1 meter long and the girlier stuff makes it smoother anyway. The soap he just doesn't care about; I've offered to buy him more manly-smelling products and he just shrugs. We do have our own male- and female-geared deodorant, but we've both had to use the other's when we've run out and it's not really weird or anything.

Party Moth Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 "Male" shampoo smells like chemicals most of the time. I know many guys who use "female" marketed shampoo simply because it smells better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) My own dad is very very concerned with keeping him and his sons as masculine as possible and... well girls can get away with more so he doesn't as much with me... But yeah he gets easily embarrassed by others' judgements so he tries to protect his kids from it too x3 But also I think he's also just old-fashioned and really cares about that kind of stuff BECAUSE OF THIS the impression I've gotten is that girls' shampoos are anything with fruity bright scents, guys' scents are more neutral.... or as duels at dawn said, like chemicals~ But hey use whatever shampoo you want, people care more about how greasy your hair is than how it smells. Nowadays, apparently unlike my dad's olden days, some people (prolly mostly girls x3) really like it when a guy's hair smells really nice~! I am one of those people, as Integrity's hair smells really nice~ Though I think his shampoo is probably considered more neutral... =o Edited January 13, 2015 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 As long as it doesn't smell after I shower (I'm not fond of perfume in general), I really don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 i only end up buying my own shampoo when the stuff i'm mooching runs out so VERY RARELY do I used men's shampoo I also like using conditioner like other people have said and unless its a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner deal I never see men's conditioner anywhere. i don't really notice the difference though, I guess most mens shampoo is NOT FRUIT SCENT and womens are? Idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 as Integrity's hair smells really nice~ Though I think his shampoo is probably considered more neutral... =o i literally buy women's soaps exclusively because they smell so nice compared to DUDESCENT soap, god bless herbal essences forever. shampoos i've been using aussie exclusively for like a hundred years (pretty neutral, as she said) but i'm branching out into girlier scents because fuck it i like smelling pretty.
