Do bald people wash their head with shampoo or soap? Are there any bald people who can answer this or does anyone have a theory? [?]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I think some turtle wax should do the job.
 
realistically tho, how many people do you know who buff their head with turtle wax??
 
I am bald. I do wash my head with soap, at the same time I wash my face. I have a fringe of hair and I wash that with shampoo.
 
hahaha that's awesome! what a great thread jim miester... i never even thought about it before...

Kudos to you adjoint! bald guys are awesome!
 
Well i don't think many people have thought about it!
 
Best thing for young guys who focus on their hair is to get used to the idea that some of them will be losing it sooner than they think.

Remember that in middle life, bald is sexy!
 
Im scared of being bald, means my mono brow will stand out even more.
 
I use soap. Why waste money on shampoo when I can spend it on books on quantum mechanics and string theory? If anyone is worried about going bald, don't, just like there are a lot of men who prefer fat women there are a lot of women who like bald men - I don't know why, but I'm not complaining one bit.
