For a month I tried washing my hair once a week and i felt greasy over the 3 day mark. So I am now currently trying no shampoo until i feel like a slimy mushroom. Im on day 5 without shampoo lol i feel clean still as if I used shampoo.


It's possible to find healthy shampoos that don't have laurel sulfate in them-- the sudsing agent that's linked to cancer development. And if you're worried about stripping your hair of natural oils, then you need a shampoo that works for your hair type.
The point is water alone does not clean the hair of the dirt and sweat that collects on it over time. Shampoo removes dirt and sweat. Just as soap does for your skin.
It's true, you don't have to clean your hair or body. But you'll look, smell and feel a whole lot better if you do. For those with straight hair, it will look lackluster, greasy and weighed down. You'll be unable to style it because of this.
Grease and dirt make your scalp itchy and will cause more dirt to stick to your hair. So, you'll progressively get dirtier. Where your hair touches your face, it will likely cause acne outbreaks because of the amounts of pore-blocking oil and dirt.
You can always shampoo LESS often and see how THAT works. But never shampooing? If you have friends and family, or a job where you have to work in person, your popularity will Plummet!!!
Thoughts on cleaning it with apple cider vinegar?
This is a fine rinse. Vinegar is a good cleaner for hard surfaces like floors or countertops. But that would be white vinegar. The apple cider might add shine to your hair. But a surfactant, like soap, surrounds and washes away dirt and grease. Beer is also a good rinse, but, again, not a cleaner.
I don't particularly like the way apple cider vinegar smells and wouldn't want to "wear" it as a fragrance. But you use about 2T mixed in 16 ounces of water, let it sit for a few minutes and rinse it out. An essential oil will kill the salad odor! Research has shown it is very good to allay itchiness and improve shine and the PH of the scalp. It is scalp treatment. NOT a cleaner, You use it after shampoo and conditioning.
I only wash my hair once a week. Most of the time I'll use shampoo mixed with my breastmilk. Yes it sounds disgusting but works great at making my hair look healthy
I believe it! In the future, i wanna use my own milk for cooking. Have u tried that?
@Apple1996 you can use egg or beer. Gives hair body.
Up to you.
👌👍

I have done this before for pretty much the same reasons you list. My hair gets greasy after just one day. My wife buys this stuff Avalon and it has a few different flavors. It is supposed to be free from chemicals
After one day? Thats crazy. Im in my cave woman era
I love italian food. y'all do put a lot of oil in food esp bruschetta 😋
I get like that in summer but not winter xd. I've been told i got a shiny forehead so i guess im oiled up
nah lowkey i always shampoo, i can't resist having to add it on
Lol fair. Im in my hair phase rn. Plus my boyfriend has to deal with it 😂
well judging by the picture up there it seems like a good choice, im sure he will thank you when your hair gets all shiny n shit
When I worked on semis I had to use wisk to get my hair clean.
Today my hair is just fine.
I need to use a good shampoo to help get rid of the carcinogens after a fire call.
Damn!
What you write makes sense. But I still shampoo every day. My hair is really really short though.
My hair is rlly long. I can touch it behind my lower back. Some people say long hair is a lot of maintenance but it rlly isn't
I've had it rlly short too (to my neck) but i been growing it out. Gonna grow it til my friends say to cut it 😅
Shampoo. My hair gets lanky if I don't use it everyday.
Everyday!!
No choice. Honestly that's all the time it takes for things to get greasy.
Mine gets greasy every 3 days. Plus, shampooing everyday strips away ur natural oils 🥲
You're lucky. After three days I'd be really gross looking. I have to scrub everywhere or after a day I'd feel kinda yucky.
I done hair training before which u go long periods of no hair washing. Once a week. My hair dosen’t smell, but it gets a little greasy 😗
You can definitely see a change in the way my hair looks after one day. Also I shave in the shower so I like to get everything taken care of in the shower, shampooing, shaving and just soaping down. Refreshing.
Absolutely. Its nice when i take a quick shower without getting my hair wet cuz its in a bun.
Yeah when I shave it's easy to just rinse everything away. Over the sink is a pain. Hard to clean up/reach everywhere.
Shaved my head.
beard oil in my beard and lotion on my dome
Waitx, u out lotion on ur head?
I've never tried that and it's something I won't try. My hair needs shampoo, washing it with water would do nothing for it. I would feel dirty.
I don't have to worry about shampoo. My hair is so short and mostly gone. I just use bar soap or body wash.
I use a small amount of baby shampoo. Free of perfume and some other questionable ingredients.
Yes, I shampoo my hair with your screen name I thought you were an American gangster girl for sure
What
u can also use that wooden hair brush thingy it helps more
I shampoo every second day.
Shampoo for me
No..
shampoo i use shampoo everyday
No stop 🥲
my hair gets greasy in 2 days so I have to
Shampoo makes our hair greasy faster. I go 3 days until it starts greasing
if i don’t wash it with shampoo it gets greasy so i wash it with shampoo but also shampoo makes hair greasy faster what do i do
Hav u tried hair trainings? Going long periods without washing ur hair. I've tried it for a month doing once a week hair washes, but it wasn't for me. So im doing no shampoo, just rinse with water and maybe ill try washing it with apple cider vinegar
I go out everyday so it is not possible for me i guess
When my hair is blowing in the wind it gets very greasy 🥲
