Or: shampoo residue, wtf?

So if you read the title you instantly thought "just put water in the bottle". You caught me. That's it. But I want to elaborate on this because I'm totally surprised.

I ran out of shampoo a few days ago and decided to just put water in the bottle. I expected one use with weak results but to my complete surprise, despite the bottle seeming completely empty, the solution lathered like a total badass for days. What's more, it got the job done and I felt fresh and clean. But holy shit, just a little in my eyes and it was like I had doused them in hydrochloric acid. I have never experienced a burn that strong in my life from shampoo before.

So that raises the question: is the residue at the bottom of a shampoo bottle like some highly concentrated magic? Why did this work for a week?

you have learned the secret, now you must die.

Vidal Sassoon goons will be by shortly to make sure you look good...forever.


(they probably sell a lot of goop that way, and we probably use 80% more than we actually need, which works out for them rather nicely)

I guess what I didn't consider is that the stuff is just really concentrated to begin with. If we all made our own solutions by diluting the stuff from stores, how long could it last? A year?
