Shower with water only?

[Gargantuan]

This might sound retarded but a recent thread reminded me of all the hazardous chemicals that are present in shower gels/shampoos/soaps etc and how all of them are basically detrimental to your health. Use biological ones? You might get scammed imo, they are not waterproof either when it comes to preventing hazardous substances from entering your body tbh.
It made me think, and I suddenly got the following idea: Why not shower with water only? Isn't that what our ancestors did too?

I want to start to stop using shampoo and body wash
but some told me you cant stop it emmidieatly
you have to slowly stop
you cant really go cold turkey

 

[JackSparrow]

Soaps only take the natural oils from your body causing you to produce more, it’s basically a scam cycle. Buy soap, produce more oil, buy more soap.

 

[Deleted member 6488]

yeah, soap is basically for commerical gains and smelling fresh in the short-term.

if you stop using it, you will pretty much suffer (from BO and greasy skin) for 3-4 weeks, but after that, you return back to normal and your body doesn't crave soap anymore.

 

[Deleted member 5809]

i stopped using soap for my body. just becoming high T from hours of browsing lookism.net will lead to your sweat smelling good so you don't need to wash your body that thoroughly. i use esquire shampoo/conditioner for my hair now because it's free of those chemicals

Why even shower? our ancestors never used to shower.

Well, I'm sure they washed themselves in water, that is the ancient equivalent to showers tbh.

You know in ancient Rome, they used olive oil on their bodies, then scraped it off with a special tool, and finally washed themselves with water. A slave usually applied, removed the oil and washed their master.
I think some Turkish baths offer these kind of treatments along with massage.

I shower with cold water because it helps my facial skin

 

[godirl]

Use olive oil soap

 

[DutchPrettyBoy]

i think you need some kind of water filter or purifier for it to be really effective. it's better for overall health in general to. it filters out the things like chlorine and heavy metals.

Nice one, I also do cold showers. 10 degrees Celsius max for me but I cannot go any lower than 0 degrees C cause it has a limiter on it.

 

[Chadelite]

Hows your skin/hair quality? I've got a feeling it might make you look worse short term since your body needs to adapt but that it will actually look better long term since its a lot more natural and you aren't poisoning yourself.

Cold showers are good for mental health, not so good for your hair. It can boost cortisol and cause hair loss. Wimhof has a good head of hair around 30-40, but went bald from the ice.

Too warm and too cold is bad, room temp is ideal

The soap you shower with is SHIT.
You probably haven't even questioned what bar of soap you lather up with.

 

[Gargantuan]

I've tried those before, might start doing them again. 20C ideal?

Yes, normally I just wait until the water feels like nothing, not cold or warm, just liquid flowing over my skin.

i uesd to have good hair before then it got worse when i used products,

i started using coconut oil on my hair after i take a cold shower i did it for like 1 week my hair was the best i have ever seen - better than the models and actors you see on tv it was so good my curls stayed perfect even when i got out of bed etc

showering = ascending

being bald is genetic and environmental - but mostly gentic like everything

some people can do what they want pull their hair out pull it back and they have thick nw0 at 90 years

showering = ascending

cold shower + nofap + no porn + confidence boost = better mood, higher t levels, better mind

but bones? no

I dont like styling my hair but I want my hair to be very good

 

[Deleted member 6400]

spartans showered once a year

 

[elfmaxx]

Good luck stinky boi

 

[PURE ARYAN GENETICS]

I use a tiny bit of high quality organic soap for crotch and armpit area. spread it a bit but that's what needs washing mostly and wash the rest with water only. cheap, low toxicity, fast, gets the job done

Might have to hop on coconut oil as well. Do you think castor oil could produce similar results?

 

[Deleted member 6512]

Maybe normies were right, they only forgot to say that the showers we need to take must be without soap.

Great solution tbh. Might have to follow this blueprint.

currently growing hair from a buzz cut and I dont want my hair to have breakage or look bad

[Deleted member 7313]

Our rich ancestors used olive oil to clean themselves, and vinegar. Natural ingredients like those can help a lot. Today, I would recommend a natural, organic bar of soap, like the kind this company makes: chagrin valley soap, and a good cold shower.

Massaging your hair, will stimulate bloodhair and help your hair grow, also Omega 3 is good.

would that keep my hair looking fresh? and keep it healthy?
if so I would do this

it would make it grow faster, and healthier, but not fresh.

 

[Dog face]

I wonder if curd soap is legit to avoid turning soy. A friend of my mom recommended it once because she's afraid of toxic stuff in soap and shit idk man

 

[Deleted member 4856]

Great idea bro

Doesn't shampoo dry your hair out? What would be the worse thing that could happen? Greasy hair? I think baking soda might be able to get the grease out of my hair honestly.

I haven’t used shampoo in 4 years and I rarely use any soap. If you drink enough water and don’t eat like shit, you don’t need soap to not smell bad. Also, don’t use deodorant. You’re just putting a bunch of random chemicals on your skin to seep in all day

Gonna start doing the same. I need to cut down on deodorant tbh, that shit is probably toxic af. I think I'll start making baking soda shampoo for my hair but that will be it, nothing else.

 

[MyFUTUREisBLEAK]

Use natural soaps. I like using African black soap. Works good and doesn't have any odors

You will likely get greasier hair for a bit but for your long term health it’s obviously worth it
