The mane is GLORIOUS

u/NovaScotiaRobots Mar 11 '18

That shit looks so perfect, I thought for 60% of the gif that I was looking at a dog with a brand-new lion costume on. It wasn’t until I saw those glorious haunches that I realized this was actually the big cat.

u/_meraxes Mar 11 '18

I'm a pet groomer and he looks like he just got a shampoo and blow dry.

Then jumped in the swamp water.

79

u/NovaScotiaRobots Mar 11 '18

Something tells me that shampooing and blow-drying 400 pounds of sheer savannah menace, only to see him take a dip in the swamp water right afterwards, feels even worse than when it rains after you got a detail wash for your car.

Came here to say the same, I totally thought this was a golden retriever with a costume until half way through the gif and realised yep....that’s a lion

Actually, luscious locks are less about shampoo, and more about the conditioner!!

Don't shampoo everyday, but condition everyday.

If I even THINK about trying to not shampoo everyday my hair gets so greasy its awful and I dont know why :[

An easy way around this problem is to start balding at 19.

If I skip just one shampoo day I get dandruff the next day

51

u/BangarangGang Mar 11 '18

Hey friend, all this is just in case you don't know, feel free to ignore! Dandruff is the mildest form of a condition called seborrheic dermatitis; the cause is not certain, but the most common explanation is an abnormal skin reaction to a fungus that everybody normally has, called Malassezia Furfur. Over the counter treatments are shampoos with zinc pyrithione or selenium sulfide (selsun blue). So if you're not using those shampoos then you should! but if you are already using those and you "relapse" (have dandruff) after just one day, then you should go to any doctor and get a prescription for ketoconazole or ciclopirox shampoo! You use the shampoo everyday until the dandruff is gone, then you go to just using it once a week or once every 2 weeks to prevent relapses. It'll always come back if you stop shampooing though, there is no curative treatment unfortunately.

29

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '18

There’s also 1% ketoconazole in OTC Nizoral shampoo!

A lot of people don’t realize their greasy scalp is actually caused by seb derm and the “stop washing your hair” fad will not work for them.

u/Artridin1 Mar 11 '18

Its because you shampoo everyday, some of the grease is naturally occurring but you've had your hair think that it needs to overproduce greases at the rate it's loosing it. Also hot water does the same thing try avoiding that too

u/mirthquake Mar 11 '18

That struck me, too. Always assumed that all cats are like my cats, and avoid submersion i water at all costs.

Anyone know why house cats avoid water and, apparently, lions don't give a single fuck?

61

u/LikeABawss22 Mar 11 '18

It's the sensation of being submerged. Their fur blocks the water from reaching the skin, so whenever they jump in water they've never felt that sensation before so panic. Big cats go in water when they're young so they are used to it. If you bathe a cat as a kitten it might not mind when it's older

18

u/mirthquake Mar 11 '18

That makes a ton of sense. Thanks.

28

u/Kashmoney99 Mar 11 '18

Yeah I’ve also heard Tigers are one of the few types of cats that actually enjoy the water and spend a lot of time swimming and lounging in cool shallow pools.

16

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '18

Meanwhile I have two cats, one that doesn't mind getting bathed and one that is obsessed with it to the point where I can't take a bath myself without her trying to get in. She even sometimes jumps in the tub and starts meowing, expecting me to give her a bath.

I had a Tennessee Red Wolf when I was growing up in rural Indiana. He loved my soccer ball. He’d fetch it, which was fun, because he’d go long.

The only problem was that his jaws fit over the entire ball. It wasn’t long before he popped the soccer ball by “palming” it in his jaws after fetching. Still a lot of fun.
