The speaker, Johnny Harris, is sharing his personal experience of not shampooing his hair for five years. He explains that he realized he was stuck in a cycle: washing his hair with shampoo, which strips away natural protective oils, then applying conditioner to restore the shine that was lost. He then applies a pomade, an oil-based product, which he believes adds more oil to his hair. This cycle results in his hair feeling oily and greasy. He also mentions that he experienced scalp itchiness and flakiness, which he believed was caused by the daily shampooing.
He recounts how he stopped using shampoo and noticed that his hair stopped itching and greasiness. He also mentions that a barber didn't say anything negative about his hair or scalp, which he found surprising and reassuring. He emphasizes that his experience may not be the same for everyone and that he's not trying to convince anyone to stop shampooing their hair.
Harris critiques the hair care industry for creating psychological triggers that make people believe they need their products. He suggests that this fear and desire to be accepted is being manipulated by the industry. He also argues that the feeling of being dirty or greasy is not a natural feeling and is largely influenced by societal standards. He concludes by promoting Better Help, an online counseling platform, and encourages viewers to join and take charge of their mental health.
