In more recent years, I assume the same about the stupid trend of rain shower heads attached to the ceiling. If you have any quantity of hair, a soft rain shower on the ceiling is unusable for washing your hair. It will take twenty minutes to rinse out shampoo. Some guy probably thought it was a great idea and should have test run it with the other half of the population.

Mine is halfway down my back, and I never use conditioner. I hate screaming high-maintenance, but come on, this is a dumb rant.

I found it interesting. The conditioner is always crappy when they have it. I always bring my own. But I didj't think it was a gendered thing, I just assumed the supplies were bare-boned.

More that most people don't use it.

Most women use conditioner.

Yes, but most don't use the cheap hotel conditioner. I always bring my own.

This! If you're someone who cares about conditioner, don't you pack your own preferred brand? I feel like the hotel shampoo and conditioner are there for people who forgot to, or whose luggage was lost.

Sure people often pack their own. But if you forget or have your luggage lost, most people will need both shampoo and conditioner! (And none of that 2-in-1 crap, either.)

I have very fine hair and conditioner makes it look greasy and makes it impossible to get any style into it bc it's just too soft

Completely agree. No fan, not enough (or any) hooks/towel racks, bad lighting, weird half glass shower "partition" that lets the floor get soaking wet... this can't be that hard!!

One hotel had a vast blank wall that would have been ideal if they had just put some towel racks and/or hooks on it!!

Same.

I stayed at a boutique hotel recently that had the clear glass shower stall be part of the bathroom wall. So from the bedroom you could see into the shower. It was unsetting. Sure it steams up once you are in there for a bit but I hated it even though I was alone in the room. Thankfully it wasn't a time I was sharing a room with a friend!

I've been traveling with just a carry-on, so I'm limited in liquids. I like having an option, but hotel conditioner is rarely any good.

Absolutely. I would never use hotel toiletries by choice. My husband would, however. Most men don’t care.

I have “normal” hair. It’s straight, not fine, not thin, not thick, not dry, not oily, not curly, etc. Any typical shampoo/conditioner works fine. My girls both have thickly wavy hair from their dad’s side and are much more particular with what they put in their hair.

Huh. I am European with very thick hair and don’t use conditioner.

My gripe about hotel bathrooms is the lack of hooks for towels.

+1. My husband just uses whatever they have, or poaches mine if for some reason he doesn't like the scent of the hotel-provided stuff or whatever. He never packs his own. And he doesn't use conditioner anyway. But I do, so I always have it of course.

Yes! Why is this?

There is never anywhere to hang our bath towels or hand towels. Always so frustrating.
