Why do shampoo bottles tells us to wash our hair twice? The stuff we use to clean whitewall tires (well, those of us who clean whitewalls, which definitely seems like a losing proposition) doesn't tell us to lather, rinse and repeat. Is our hair really that dirty? Or — perish the thought — is this just a way of getting us to use up the shampoo twice as quickly? Science? Marketing? Just good hygiene? [Tags: doep puzzle] Posted

Wash twice? If you followed the instructions faithfully (later. rinse. repeat) wouldn't you be washing and rinsing endlessly?

lather/rinse/repeat likely means lather/rinse/rinse-again, don't you think? Otherwise how would you get all that awful soap out?

Whitewall tires? How 50s. But why aren't you using Electrosol for that, like all good tire freaks do?
As for the problem at hand (head?), I can't offer much advice having a hair style similar to Britney Spears' new look. But I do wash my head with the stuff and don't repeat squat. Lather and rinse until shampooless works for me; I'm shiny as new hubcap (to continue the tire metaphor/simile).
