That's just like how shampoo companies advise you to "lather, rinse, repeat". It's a great way to boost sales, but besides being unnecessary it's terrible for your hair, your water bill, fish living downstream, and your wallet.

- gs17 3y agoPersonally, I've had much better results with repeating, but I haven't bothered to experiment enough to see if it's from "rinse, lather, rinse" or the full "lather, rinse, lather, rinse".

- ars 3y agoI do occasionally repeat and it does make a difference, but you only need 1/10th as much shampoo the second time.
- guidoism 3y agoI’m curious. What does the second iteration accomplish? Is it dirt and grease that is embedded in your skin? What kind of job do you have if you feel comfortable answering?
- ars 3y agoIt's not usually needed, but if I'm really sweaty and sticky the first washing removs dirt, and the second washing adds "squeak" is the best way I can put it. It just feels cleaner. I assume it's because the additives in the shampoo become overloaded on the first use, and are active on the second.
- guidoism 3y agoI like the squeak too. I recently moved to a place with hard water and so everyone has water softeners. With this super soft water I can't get the squeak ever. It just feels slimy to me.
