To stop using shampoo

[sirlee66]

I was watching this morning yesterday and there was a doctor on saying how we should not wash with soap (inc. shampoo and bubble bath) and only wash with water and/or emollients.

He said don't wash hair with shampoo, only use water and a small bit of conditioner.

I can't imagine not washing my hair with shampoo, surely it would look awful and be really greasy?

Does anyone do this? Is your hair healthier? Does your hair go through an initial gross phase but then go really nice?

If it's good for your hair and,in the end, makes it look nicer than normal, I'll deffo consider diching shampoo.
dont think I'm quite ready to ditch shower gel yet though!

I used to co-wash, it was fine - I did it to cut out sulphates as they seem to irritate my skin. I used a silicone free, protein free conditioner. I have straight hair. I don't bother now though, I found a SLS free shampoo which works fine for me & I just wash it a lot less. I have a buzzcut now though, so it's less of a big deal these days, & takes about a minute to wash in the sink & dry if I need to.

Yes, I guessed you would rinse after the beer or mayo, but I wondered if there was a lingering aroma. I use the parabens and sls free shampoo and shower gel by Dr Organics, from Holland and Barratt, or the Child's Farm from Tesco.
