Yawn. The reason is that very thing. Off the grid. Electricity heating our baths today. Electricity became widedpread in the atomic age. 50s. Otherwise prior to it, many were off the grid. They were the chimney sweeps and cults of cowshit. It was expensive to wash, heating a bath, imagine doing that daily. Costs. So scary those taxes, better to be afriad of it. With the bath becoming widespread comes all the beauty products. Becoming a host of snake oil. Consumption. Harmful. Not ideal.

But dumbass, the hair thing you misunderstood. Why there are the cults of cowshit, today. They're off the grid. Samson joined polite society, a warrior of renowned status, treating with somebody's maiden, married, or the dowry, becoming legit, have the children and a castle. Sheer the ugly clansman and send him for a bath, oops, she cut his hair. Next, he cannot wield the sword. His other warriors sooner mocked. Hahaha, old man. You're crippled, not scary, she's painted your nails, and you stink so much of the flowers, even your horse will throw you. All of a sudden Mark Antony has lost the war. Shouldn't have let her scent you. She's Jezebel. Hahaha.

Until a bunch of Rasta's have created a religion off of it. A bunch of dalits think Shiva meant it.

Scared of soap is just yourself. It was because of the costs of bathing. Electricity wasn't widespread until the 50s. It was a wealth thing taxing them. But the Romans all bathed like the Greeks, Egyptians, Summerians, Atlantians, and those people from Angkor Wat. Everybody else except the slaves and the savages. With bathing came the soaps, oils, and the scented water. Around for mellinnia, ages, epochs, and eons.
