    you really don’t i’ve only ever had one person comment on my not washed hair, and they were autistic, and also a female.

    Literally nobody cares.

      Hair that hasn’t been washed for a while has a smell. It may not bother you, or the smell might not reach 3+ feet away to offend others. But if you get a whiff it’s not pleasant, IMO.

      Everyone is free to do whatever they like with their bodies. Others should reserve the right to think something isn’t pleasant, though.

        Oi, I said you don’t need shampoo or conditioner, not that you don’t need to wash your hair.

        what do you mean when you say “not pleasant” are we talking “this hand soap doesn’t smell like anything and that’s weird and i don’t like it” or are we talking “this smells vaguely of a person that exists and does things sometimes”

            i think i understand what you mean, but i don’t think that’s inherently negative, i think we’ve just been so aggressively primed to “smell nice” with all the artificial smells that we live in, from soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, cologne, perfume, etc…

            that the “neutral” human smell is sort of “lost” to the average person.
