The 6-in-1 products are great overall but mine struggles with thicker carpet. YMMV

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The 7 in 1 product mentions "shag".
So you can use it as lube?
Anything is a lube if you’re brave enough.

When your hair is short, you can wash it with Gatorade and it'll look acceptable. The longer it is, the more you have to maintain it. I'm a guy who grew his hair out.
I'm a long haired freaky people and have been for almost 40 years but I found my hair is healthier if I rinse it regularly, wash it once or twice a month and condition it at the same time.
I use Nizoral AD (some almost medicated antindandruff thing) and Head and shoulders conditioner twice a month at most.
I still have my long luxurious hippy hair and I'm told there is no recession yet so I got that going for me.
I don't necessarily mean more maintenance as in more washing/conditioning. I mean that you have to more carefully consider what your hair needs. You actually need to wash your hair more often with short hair since the grease has less room to spread out. When I was growing my hair out, I knew I didn't want to look like the long-haired metal-head with a big frizzy mess. I gradually started washing it less and conditioning it more. Now I don't condition but I oil it after washing. That seems to keep the split ends at bay and give some nice locks without too much greasiness. If I still washed it every time I showered like I did with short hair, it would look like brittle shit.
Yes this is true. You still have to do the maintenance. I do have to brush it twice a day, and the lady taught me the virtue of brushing it from the bottom up so I got that going for me. My hair is the longest it's been since I started brushing it correctly 😅

my hair is healthier
There's no such thing as healthy hair, it's only dead cells. That's why ads always say they make your hair "healthy-looking."
You can keep it looking nicer, though.
There is such thing as healthy skin though. A lot of products will strip the bejesus out of your scalp and cause either dry or oily skin up there

tbh I don't think men generally have better hair
Last inch of mine look like a 5 year old toothbrush with Y shaped ends.
I don't have a better description for that.
Those are called split ends. If you have a lot of them, it's best to get a trim (just enough to snip off the split ends) and then try to figure out what is causing them.
You can't repair them. You can only get rid of them and then avoid them. Or keep getting maintenance trims.
With split ends trimming = longer hair over time.
Source: I had them so bad for years that my hair would break off and not get any longer looking. For me, it was too much heat (hair dryer and curling iron every day)
Also the specialized shampoo is 15.99, the 17-in-1 everything-soap is 1.19.
But the specialized shampoo is pink, so that you know that’s the one you’re supposed to buy.
I use the same soap for washing my floors as for washing me. However I don't use it's toothpaste function. Dr Brokers is amazing.
Bronners
Assuming there's any truth to that, why wouldn't women just use the 6 in 1 shampoo?
...And man-pants with pockets, while we're on the topic. I suppose there might be issues in the hip-department there, though.
I think it's not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.
And it's not like there aren't specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.
Huh. Is dandruff not a thing that happens to women? I wouldn't know.
From what I could find, men are more likely to suffer from dandruff than women, so even though women can suffer from dandruff it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus mostly on men, especially since men are still thought that anything even cosmetics adjacent is not manly.
Its my understanding it does, but is generally far less noticeable (gets caught and held in hair, then washed out when bathing) but is usually cared for / treated by using proper hair products.
Almost everything on the market is shit and will destroy your hair. That includes the 6 in 1 shampoo, men just usually have less hair.

For the pants, it's partly the hip/waist ratio and partly the extra bunchy fabric in the crotch region.
Some already do.
And man pants aren't that big of a hurdle to get used to. Just need to take measurements of waistband and inseam and you've got the size to look for in mens pants. Thats what I like about them: they have much better sizing labels than the nebulous/arbitrary size numbers on women's pants.
Whatever works, right? Right now I'm wearing this really nice pair of sturdy heavy-duty felt-lined jeans from Duluth Trading Company which are supposedly made for women (albeit with perfectly nice pockets) - not that I care one whit. They fit perfectly, and are generally lovely.
When I was in high school the trend was baggy pants and lots of women did wear men’s pants.

But the hair length of a lioness and lion vs female human and male human is inverse...
I'm beginning to think this meme is just supposed to be humorous!

The trick for everyone, use the cheapest shampoo you are comfortable using. Spend the time and money to find a good conditioner for your hair and scalp type. I need antidandruff shampoo and use a light leave in conditioner. You'd think it used $40 products from the salon.
It's so weird, I've tried various shampoos and conditioners of every type and my hair just seems happiest with the cheapest shampoo I can find with absolutely no conditioner. With anything else I wind up with horible dandruff, hair which gets greasy within 6 hours of taking a shower, or hair which dries out so bad it looks like I got the worlds shittiest perm. But as long as I use some cheap ass generic mens shampoo that's scented like a verb then my hair is fine.

Men's shampoo: is this for dry or oily hair?
Yes
I'm sorry, but men's 6 in 1 soap sucks ass. The moment I tried shampoo and conditioner for women, my (at the time short) hair got way better and I never looked back. Now that I have long hair I'm not even going to consider washing with the hair destroyer 2000 again. The image is wrong, the "conditional soap" is way better because it's not just soap.
Itt: people missing the joke conditioner/conditional. It's not that good, but nothing to get mad over either
I think women's shampoo does a better job personally, I like the smell more roo

I wanna see a girl use guy shampoo and tell us if it works better
I had to do it after Burning Man cause that’s all the gas station had. Granted, my hair was dirty with mud and unwashed for a week, but still.
It was a horrible mess. The 2-in-1 product didn’t do either job well - washing or conditioning. My long gorgeous hair turned into near dreads and felt so nasty. Never again.
I’ve been washing my face with shampoo since I saw a meme about it and it’s been fine. I actually got complimented on my skin.
