My shampoo quit working.

I have the same hair I've pretty much always had - didn't straighten/curl, color, or even cut it recently.
I'm using the same water, unless the City did something nefarious.
It's not only the same shampoo as ever, it's the same bottle.

The only variable I can think of is recent surgery involving general anesthetic. Maybe my body is still under a chemical influence that is incompatible with my shampoo, but why would a) it go on this long and b) it involve more than 1/4" of my hair?

"Quit working" as in your hairs are still not clean and smelling good?

Pretty much. I shower and shampoo in the usual way, and don't get decent lather. It doesn't feel clean at all. Rinse, repeat does some good, but not as much as I'd expect.

Haven't changed hair goop, either, although I may be trying @slobake 's pomade one of these days.

I read an article years ago in Men's Health about washing one's hair. It said that you shouldn't be concentrating on washing (or rinsing) your hair, rather your scalp. Bend your fingers inward and use the tips to scrub (gently) your scalp. When rinsing, use the fingertips to pull your hair apart and rinse the scalp as well. Your hair will still get clean, but the scalp is most important. Since then I haven't had a problem with my hair, even using hotel hard water or someone else's shampoo.

Now, being at Walmart and my 89 cent shampoo is out of stock.....that annoys me. :D

Geez, i think I'm on the same bottles of Aussie shampoo & conditioner that i bought almost 5 years ago ... i only wash my mane every month or two unless I've been doing something particularly dirty. Just a hot water rinse in the shower daily, and I'm as fresh and handsome as the day before :D

"You know what you should have done?"
"You should do this"

In short the "should do" person annoys me. If you are going to give advise try advising instead of telling. I do this with my kid. Instead of saying "you should do this" I say "well you can try doing this". I get better results that way.

Thanks to a suggestion by @Pilgrim i use a scalp brush when I shampoo. Feels good and I haven't had much dandruff since I started using it.
