Rinsing your hair in water is not "washing" your hair. It's wetting your hair. Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.

How long is your hair and do you cut your own hair also? Quoting: DoubleHelix It makes me wonder what a barber would say about your hair health. They would probably spew some BS and try to sell you shampoo, conditioner and hairspray. My hair is really short. Only about an inch long. Yes I cut my own. I spend about 5min scrubbing the shit out of it in the shower. You have shit in your hair? Exactly how does feces get in your hair? |
