Have you tried the no poo method?

[Ephemera1]

If you don't know what it is, it's when you wash your hair without shampoo. I've started this to some extent where I'd use shampoo only every other day and it's been pretty good for me. I'm thinking about just not using shampoo completely but wouldn't my hair get oily/greasy? Anyone have experience with this?

I don't think it would be good to stop using it completely. Shampoo is used to cleanse your hair, conditioner is used to soften it. Hair gets dirty so it has to be throughly cleansed. That would be like washing your hands with just water, and then putting lotion on.
I think if you do it every other time without shampoo it would be ok but I wouldn't stop using it. There are also some companies that sell something called "no poo" as in shampoo for curly hair that doesn't foam up and make your hair dry or anything. For something more natural, you could use baking soda as shampoo. It cleanses your hair without foaming it up

I'm trying the low-poo method. Works very nicely to me!

[Ephemera1]

What is this "low-poo" method you speak of?

[Luminifera]

Using shampoo with no sulfates or salt, and conditioner with no parabens, silicone, or liquid paraffin.

I only wash my hair with shampoo about once a week. People often complement me on how soft and smooth my hair is. In my case my hair doesn't get so greasy/oily.

I could probably get by a day or two without showing, but not using shampoo is like not washing your hands with soap.

I tried it and it made my hair super greasy. Like someone poured wax on it but it looked wet.

You're not meant to wash your hair with shampoo every day anyway.

"No poo"? You mean "Cowashing" where you only use conditioner to wash it, right? I do that when my hair feels dry.

[Ephemera1]

No conditioner, just water.

[reixun]

I haven't done that, it sounds bad.

[ArabianPwincess197]

Nope I haven't tried that and I think not washing hair with shampoo would get them greasy

[phoenix2000]

[phoenix2000]

I did. Ewww noo couldnt endure long

[Ephemera1]

Is it really that bad?

[phoenix2000]

Yes because my hair is too much greasy and I can't endure it. My hair becomes like I threw oil on it lol

[Ephemera1]

Lol alright

[phoenix2000]

Did you try it?

[Ephemera1]

I shampoo every other day and the other days I just use water. My hair super soft now but I wanted to take it to the next level.

[phoenix2000]

Ohh you know then😊

[Ephemera1]

Not really. My hair isn't greasy, just soft. I was gonna completely stop using it but you're saying that's not good.

[phoenix2000]

It depends on the hair
If yours is not greasy than you can try it

[Ephemera1]

I might have to.

[Miezko]

I have long hair that's soft but not greasy and I only wash it twice a week.
