When I was in 7th grade I spiked my hair, once I ran out of gel so I used egg whites instead. It held fine... for about two hours, then I had a bunch of white flakes falling out of my hair and it looked like dandruff, it wasn't a plesent experience.

Oatmeal is very good for the skin, believe it or not. There have been oatmeal soaps in existance for ages.

I don't know, but I know Quaker Oats is happy.

Heh, it isn't literally oatmeal oats... Usually just the oils from the oats... Or a powedered form of the oat mixed into the soap/shampoo...

But either way, you're not rubbing oats on yourself... It's just like regular shampoo... And besides, any oatmeal particles that may be in the product rinse away...lol

I've never used it myself, but Skysaw is right, it's been around for a long time, and the oils in oatmeal do have beneficial effect on the skin/hair...
