So often you hear, “don’t wash your hair!” and by that I mean don’t use any products.

When I try that, my scalp feels likes it’s trying to crawl off my head!

Yeah all I do with my hair is shampoo it. It's fine on its own. The only times I've had anything in my hair that wasn't shampoo or conditioner was when I was on stage, and that was usually just gel and a bit of spray. I've never felt a need to alter any part of my hair than its length.

I had long hair for many of my early adult years, mostly because we were poor and it's cheaper to just let it grow and never get it properly cut.

But I had it short through most of my teen years (it's very thick), and I knew it was easier to manage. So about 10-15 years ago I went back to short hair (and also stopped coloring it). Now it's shorter, still thick, and takes about 3-4 minutes to blow dry. And that's all I do with it. I use an all-natural shampoo bar each morning, and that's it. No conditioner, no "product," no hairspray. Just that shampoo bar, and a quick blow-dry, and I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

I am clearly a low-maintenance gal.

When I grew out my uninspiring beard I learned that it takes more time than shaving. The mustache that has to be trimmed down and scissored adds to this.

Unless you’re my best friend who has luscious knee-length hair, never styles it, only uses cheap drugstore shampoo and always looks like a million bucks. Although I suppose there’s the time it takes to comb it.
it’s the time to grow it, i mean. growing it is the hard part
Yeah. That makes sense. Never mind me, I’m mentally incapacitated by my migraine so I keep talking gibberish.
