Shampoo is a scam anyway. I've started using a bar of soap on my hair and it's just as clean and soft as it ever was. Just lather it in your hands before scr

  Shampoo should be illegal. That stuff is crazy toxic, we shouldn't be systematically dumping all those chemicals into the water supply. Natural soap does work well on hair.

      It's hypothesized that soaps originally formed accidentally when basic rain runoff from expired camp fires chemically interacted with animal fats. Roman sources certainly document the production of soap from tallow and ash, which is a circumstance that could conceivably arise by chance in aftermath of a camp fire. Perhaps that's not natural, or maybe we can theorize some sort of wildfire scenario causing the same circumstance. Regardless, I think his point is that shampoo as we know it today is very much a product of the modern marketing/industrial complex.
