    I stopped using shampoo. My hair and skin have never been better. Shampoo takes away the skin oils, so the skin needs to compensate by producing more skins oils, making your hair greasy. Stop using shampoo makes it worse for a week, then it gets better and the hair stops being greasy. Shampoo is just an unnecessary addiction.

          Hey, this wasn’t my intention at all. I’m mixed race and don’t have coily hair but need products. I was speaking from my experience- “no-poo” methods don’t work for me. My scalp gets itchy from product build up.

      True. My hair has never been better.

      Do you then ONLY wash the with water or do you wash them with something special from time to time? I use a little hair soap and apple vinegar maybe once a week, as they still tend to get a little “heavy” after days with just rinsing them with water.

        Only with water (it stabalises after a while). I do use shampoo after swimming in open water or a swimming pool, or after it gets dirty by anything else. Which is almost never.
