Generally speaking its fine to wash your body with shampoo, its just not good to wash your hair with body soap

"Oh we're out of shampoo AND body wash? I guess hand soap it is. 🤷"

You don't get the 6 in one soap, shampoo, conditioner, motor oil, rust remover, and anti-fungal cream?

It's soap... What's the issue?

I honestly cannot fathom why people buy body wash... Shampoo is basically the same thing.

What's the difference?

Actually look at the ingredients of shampoo vs body wash; they contain the same chemicals, with shampoo containing a few dedicated to hair.

So body wash is shampoo minus the hair chemicals.

I just buy these very large squirt bottles of shampoo and wash my whole body with it. No problem, and much cheaper than buying several "specific" smaller bottles of mostly the same stuff.

My shower gel is rated for hair, face and testicles so I don't need to worry about this.

Shampoo ? What's that?

People wash their hair waaaay too much. I use shampoo in my hair once a month; the rest of the time I just scrub it with water and my fingers, and I very rarely have dandruff. Mind you, my skin is quite oily, but when I was a teenager with super long hair I washed my hair with shampoo every day and my hair was fried as fuck. Also, I think it contributed a lot to my extremely bad acne, which I almost never get anymore.
