Why look at that! The world is chock-full of mysteries, isn’t it? We get bogged down by “what came first, the chicken or the egg?” and spend ages pondering if a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? But right now, my mind’s chewing on something tangentially simpler yet surprisingly intriguing—like do bald men wash their heads with shampoo or just go for the, well, straight-up body soap?

Okay, if you’ve ever pictured a shiny bald pate in the shower, sudsy bubbles cascading over skin smooth as a baby’s bottom, you’re not alone. (I blame those charming commercials that make shampooing seem like a mystical experience). Some folks might spring for shampoo—with all the love and gentle care we associate with hair spa days—because the skin might still be prone to the same tenderness as hair-topped heads.

But sometimes, body soap does the trick!

Once, I asked my bald uncle, while attending family Thanksgiving (there’s always that oddball conversation around cranberry sauce, isn’t there?), and he grinned, claiming soap wins out. Simple and efficient. Just like his suits. Shampoo, on the other hand, he found a bit “froufrou” for his minimalist vibe.

So, explore! Be cheeky. Splash away. And never underestimate the wonder tangled in a bald man’s shower regimen. Enthralling stuff, isn’t it?
