I'm 65 and have every bit of my hair. I have good hair. But a few
years ago I got tired of getting haircuts that didn't live up to my
standards, so I started getting a buzz cut to the scalp once or twice
and year and then letting my hair grow out until it got long enough to
be an annoyance.

Now I do not want to argue, nor am I trying to persuade you to
agree with me, I'm just relaying the facts of my own case. I had an
uncle who was a very clean and healthy and practical guy (now dead -
but if you want to say something bad about him be my guest), who never
used soap anywhere on his body but showered every day. I knew another
guy who was clean in all aspects (not that I ever got down and smelled
his or my uncle's asshole), who said he only used soap on "strategic"
spots. But my uncle was more adamantly opposed to shampoo on the head
than soap on the body.

But let me get to the point. Thanks. I always noticed that I
liked the look and feel of my hair a day or more after the last time I
washed it - back when I was using shampoo. One day I decided to use
just water. My hair felt heavier than it does after using shampoo.
It was a strange feeling. Not a bad feeling, just different. I
grabbed some of my just cleaned hair strands and pulled them and got
the same squeak I'd have gotten had I used shampoo. I decided to go
with that method another day. Finally I went a week and that's when I
knew my uncle was right. It's hard to get people to stop doing what
they do. We're all creatures of habit. But I'm telling you now that
I know that shampoo is not a necessary thing even though there are
millions who grew up on it and think it is and there's no way or at
least little chance that anybody is going to change their minds. I am
not trying to do that, although it would be nice if it happened.
Anyway, I have really good hair, probably my best feature along with
my face, on which I also do not use soap. I am not fanatical about
it. I will use soap on my head if I've gone a while without showering
as can happen with a depressed alcoholic who doesn't drink as much as
he used to because he found out as he got older that he didn't even
have to drink anymore to get a hangover. Anyway, I have great hair,
and I'm not saying that not using soap has anything to do with it. I
know it's genetics. Onward.
