And that very honest and revealing post just about sums up the male attitude to male grooming etc...Maggie Knows wrote:TBH I just use the stuff Mrs Maggie Knows buys.

At least there's no danger of this thread overtaking the Journal 53 Appreciation thread!

Actually, beer is supposed to make a very good shampoo, so you could combine 2 threads in 1.

I wonder how many men on here would sooner pour beer over their heads than down their throats. Nigel will be mortified.

Katharine is right, beer is indeed a very good hair-wash. So is nettle tea, and if you want a good conditioner then put some mayonnaise on for about an hour before you wash your hair and it makes it softer than any shop-bought conditioner ever does.

That former MP turned journalist Matthew Parris reckons he hasn't washed his hair since 1996.
And he's pretty well dressed usually.
So, maybe the whole hair care industry is a sham(poo) ?

Would this be seen as inappropriate for a children's literature forum ? Otherwise, I might launch one.Maggie Knows wrote:

Obviously, I wouldn't be encouraging anyone to drink who shouldn't be.
Can Mods advise please ?

That should be okay - I'm sure people can be trusted to post sensibly.

I'll be worried if anyone starts discussing "bodily functions" too literally...
