This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Technically (๐Ÿค“), you don't have to wash your hair because it's dead. The scalp is where the sweat, oils, and skin cells build up and where the bad odours would be coming from. And most people on average aren't really close enough to someone (especially a tall someone) to smell their scalp.

Personally, I tried the whole no shampoo thing, and it was agony. The roots of my hair hurt from the build-up if I don't wash them once week, only rinsing with water does nothing. Human bodies are weird.
