Style Theory: Do You WASH Your Legs?

*SUBSCRIBE to Style Theory!*

Do you wash your legs? Yes, that’s a legitimate question. And prepare to be shocked because there are more people who DON’T wash their legs than you’d realize. Their reasoning is that GRAVITY takes care of the wash. So are the non-washers saving time in the shower or are they just extremely dirty? Let’s turn on the hot water and find out.

Nice to see Steph using that degree. And MatPat’s face while she’s explaining, he looks so focused. I don’t think we’ve ever seen his “Oh I’m learning something new” face before, usually he’s teaching us.

[delicious]

I love how Matt and Steph are watching them shower and talking into the camera like they're commentators in a competitive showering match

[PIK-]

I dont think I ever really realized how weirdly I shower until I saw this video. I do full 360s in the shower facing all angles because I feel like if I dont constantly look everywhere a demon is gonna come up behind me

[TotallyNotTrappedInABox]

As a swimmer, saying conditioner is useless really hurts my soul. Have you ever even felt your hair after you swim? It’s like a rock 😭

[makaylabailor]

I live how when Stephanie is explaining how soap works Mat looks both completely in awe and very concerned.

The main reason scrubbing your legs with soap and a washcloth/loofa is important is to remove dead skin cells in my experience. I was in an accident that left me in hospital with 2 broken legs for 6 weeks then in a Nursing/rehab facility for 6 months. I routinely wiped down with water (I couldn’t shower for 4 of those months because of casts, surgery incisions and bandages) but when I actually was able to really shower again (Albeit on a shower chair) and scrubbed at my body I removed just heaps and heaps of dead skin. Even out of the shower while softened so much would scratch/flake off easily. You can get a big buildup of dead skin cells (which also have other gunk clinging on it) in the parts of yourself that you aren’t scrubbing.

Not to be extreme or anything, but Sam entering this video with a Michigan Grandpa T-shirt immediately followed by talking about how he’s a guitar hero professional has made my year. I really hope we see more of him.

To think this was the first Theory I watched... I can't believe I got hooked on these channels. We'll miss you, MatPat.

[WasdTheory]

Only MatPat could make theories like this and not be called insane

[Saphia_]

Seeing MatPat and Steph interact is always such a joy. So is listening to Steph explain science stuff. Meaning, I have rewatched the first five minutes of this video too many times to count.

Hairdressers child here! Conditioner actually prevents your hair from becoming incredibly oily. Shampoo strips you hair of all its oils, including the natural ones, so before the hair can panic and start producing an abundance of oil to compensate, we use conditioner to bring some form of hydration back to the hair!

[GreatvalueSerotonin]

I am an ADVID conditioner user and at first I was so confused(and a little irritated I admit) about Matt saying that conditioner is useless. But then I remembered I have long curly thick hair that needs to be moisturized and untangled. Meanwhile Matt has (unknown thickness) short straight hair that the natural oil produced by the scalp can reach. So along with his regular trims that he gets removing the dead ends, he also had less factors for hair breakage!

[TessHex]

What surprised me most was the total absence of any _mention_ of detachable shower-heads. Also, my routine involves turning the water off during the soap/shampoo application, and only turning it on for the rinsing; presumably, that would make a fairly major difference as well.

(And if anyone's collecting data: for me, it's two rounds of soap (YES to manually washing legs), two rounds of shampoo, one round of conditioner, one round of facial cleanser; and one rinse in between each step, including between repeats and at the beginning and end.)

[snuffaluffy]

My family doc actually recommended gravity washing when I was a kid because I had eczema on my legs. Turns out scrubbing and stripping off too much of your oils really irritates your skin if it's sensitive 🤷‍♀

[damyenhockman]

“Not a single gravity user in the house.”
Possibly the best out of context quote MatPat has ever produced.

[Heartstopper_is_life]

5:16 "that one's for the only fans" okay wth matpat 😭🤚

Something to note @thestyletheorists is that you can also track dirt with not just dirt, but also by using an ultraviolet compound. This means that it would show exactly what would have come off or not. We did this with our cooking class to show what washing hands and scrubbing does. Even though you rinsed it off, you could see how much germs/bacteria were left with an ultraviolet light. The difference will be night and day with this type of testing and the results will be drastic.

A note for the future hair washing episode. Thicker hair types use different kinds of conditioners. As a black woman with long, dry hair, I use a leave in conditioner to detangle and contain the remaining natural oils on my hair. So I don't really know how conditioners that wash out work since all of mine are products that are applied after the shower.

[porcelainquill]

Y'all should do a series of hair care theories. Of course Mat doesn't use conditioner, he has short hair. My hair is very long, and the only way to keep the ends from drying out is by using conditioner on the hair that's bellow the ears, letting it sit for a while before lightly washing out the excess. That being said, I also trained my hair to only need to be washed every 10-ish days as long as i don't put extra product in it. It saves me a whole lot of shampoo and conditioner, especially compared to when i washed it every other day.

[キラキラくりくり頭]

Life goals: be well off enough that I have a house with a shower I've never actually used.
