Kinda personal hygiene question. Not for the immature.

does anyone have a problem here that when you condition your hair, you get a spotty back? well, i apparently do...and i dont know what to do about it. i wash my back in't shower but it doesnt appear to help. has anyone got any recommendations for soaps/whatever that i can use to spot-free my back?

1. no i'm not posting pictures
2. there is a time for "funny" or "sarcastic" remarks. this is not that time.
3. i will definitely not be killing it with fire.

thanks in advance

howd you know its the conditioner?

conditioning hair is for homogays

Sic · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:37

i assume it's the conditioner because i never used to condition my hair, and my back was fine. now i do, it's not.

I can't see my back, it could be spotty, it could not. If you don't know about the problem, it doesn't exist.

Spunj99 · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:39

Have you tried using a different conditioner? :confused:

just stop then, or get a sensitive conditioner

Get some stuff for sensitive skin.....

i have the same problem. I find either using a milder conditioner which is fragrance free or not conditioning every time you wash your hair helps.

I find using mustard mixed with equal parts of horseradish stop spots.

(Maybe rinse your hair more after you wash it?... it could be that your skin has a reaction to the conditioner that runs off your hair. Try a different conditioner)

stupid question, but do you used lynx body wash? Because that has been reported to cause those problems

Shoseki · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:42

IMO, it could be extra production of oils in hair to combat extra cleaning, or it could just be hormones...

cant condition a bald head. shave it all off :]

i only wash it 2 or 3 times a week anyway and i have to condition it every time because it goes crazy if i dont

does that "Simple" brand do conditioner?

Wash your hair by hanging your head over the bath or the sink, therefore not letting any water or conditioner run down your back. Otherwise, change conditioner or stop using it at all, it's hardly necessary.

Mr_L · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:43

I tend to bend over <insert funny bumsex joke here> when I'm in the shower and washing my hair because I'm too tall. You could just do that to keep the conditioner off your back.

it really is necessary for me. i seem to be lucky enough to have really dry hair and oily skin :rolleyes:

so when i wash my hair it goes like straw...bah, tis difficult giving a crap about this sort of thing - wish i didnt!

Buy a loafa, long enough to rub your back with.

Rinse well, while rubbing your back with the loafa.

Works for me, anyway.

Getting a spotty back when conditioning your hair is your bodies way of trying to fight the gayness & still look rough & unattractive from behind, the mind wants it but the body doesn't.

Try Boots botanics range they are very gentle i have stupid dry skin and hair and when i use it my scalp doesn't peel off. It's also pretty cheap.

EDIT: must remember the A in botAnics

Feek · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:50

I remember reading a post by someone on here who is known for their metro-ness saying that even he doesn't use conditioner.

So I'm confused, man or not-man?
