I’m a hygiene expert and you’ve been shaving your legs all wrong and why using hair conditioner is a big no
WHEN it comes to shaving, many of us jump in the shower and grab the razor without so much as a second thought.
But according to one hygiene expert, if you’re shaving with conditioner, then you’re doing it all wrong.
Mary Futher, who is better known on social media as Madame Sweat, took to TikTok (@madamesweat) and posted a clip where she begins: “If you’re shaving with hair conditioner, here’s two things you should know.”
First up, she says: “When air conditioners are made, they’re made with thickeners in them, so they come out very, very thick, which actually clog the razor, and the razor gets clogged.
“What you do is get nicks, cuts, and razor burn.”
The hygiene whizz goes on to point out that few people actually realise that hair conditioner has a ton of fragrance in it.
“I don’t think that’s something that you want on your skin if you’re shaving it with a razor,” she says.
“It has a lot of alcohol in it!”

Mary captioned the post: “Why you shouldn’t shave with conditioner.”
It wasn’t long before the post went viral, racking up a whopping 3 million views and several comments from social media users.
“Me watching this literally 20 minutes after shaving with conditioner,” wrote one.
A second commented: “Everyone would tell me to just use conditioner and i wouldn’t trust it from the consistency.”
A third penned: “I’m confused.. so what am I supposed to use?”
Meanwhile, a fourth quipped: “I CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.”
Another noted: “Ummm am I the only one who didn’t know that women shave with conditioner?”
A further asked: “Well if it’s that bad why do we put it in our hair.”
And one more pleaded: “Ma’am give me solutions.”
