No shampoo for 30 days...

Turns out being dirtier and not using shampoo might be even better for your hair than "washing" it with conventional shampoos. So I'll be putting that to the test and going 30 days without washing my hair... let's see what happens!

I’ve washed my hair with water for years and for me it’s so much better than using shampoo. I honestly don’t see why people would think any less just using water, it’s perfectly natural and healthy…. But in saying that it might not work for some, especially if the water they get isn’t great.

I think if you have thinner hair and have a normal scalp this might work for you. I’ve tried doing it and my hair is thick and wavy and this just made my hair stiff and a little itchy. Over all it definitely depends on your hair and scalp type

Warm water to rinse etc and then cold to finish off.

I stopped using traditional shampoo and started using Castile soap with rosemary and cedar wood essential oil a couple of times a week. What happened my hair stopped falling out and has thickened back up in the thin spots on my crown and temples.

I have a friend who does this and I told her that her hair smells sht for weeks coz no one was brave enough to tell her.

I haven't used shampoo for about 8 months, and it just feels so much better. The natural oils feel nice and like you, I can sculpt it and shape it without pomade. Moreover, it is more consistent. When I used to put gel in my hair, sometimes I didn't get the right amount in there and it looked off. Now, I have basically the same amount of natural oil in my hair and it almost always looks good.

It really does depends. I have extremely oily skin and 5 days into this I had bad a bunch of inflamed acne on my scalp.

I used to shampoo every day, my hair was limp, wavey, uncontrollable, and my scalp was so itchy and burning just 8 hours after washing.

I quit shampoo and the first couple of days were pretty uncomfortable. My hair got so greasy. But it did normalise after a week or two.

And now my hair and scalp are so much better, but if I miss a shower or get sweaty head I do pretty itchy again until I can shower

Another great video man! Loving this "for X number of days" series

Also no hot water just warm & was a doctor that said you need a special filter for water, in my country in vilages part they save rain water, so much better specialy if it’s fresh after the rain

My hair gets extremely oily if I miss washing my hair one day

[prottoymohiuddin]

what if you sweat so much and accidentally get dust on your hair? also, does it stop hairfall or male pattern baldness?

Hey Mike. Just stumbled upon your channel and loving the content.
I’m nearly 2 weeks into no shampoo. I’ve heard claims that it can prevent receding hair loss too due to scalp health (I’m in my 40s now so can’t be a bad thing). 😂

On an unrelated issue, I noticed you have a slight shake on your hand in the video. I have mild essential tremors so was wondering if you are the same or if it’s just coffee jitters or something? (Hope that wasn’t too personal a question)

Anyway, loving the content and happy to call myself a new subscriber. 😊

No poo regiment only works on curly or thick hair.

I did no shampoo for a year and I noticed (1) my hair doesn’t go oily and limp at the end of the day. (2) I don’t get dandruff on certain areas of my scalp anymore.

After a year I’m back to shampooing but it’s about every other day.

All natural baby. Wake up every morning and my hair looks good as is. No need for gel or hair spray

since covid I stopped caring about showering - but I wash my hands and that's pretty much it. I do use aloe if my hair gets bad - and that was once in the past year. I started this because of a concussion that left me in bed for 8 months - no anything except sleep pretty much and didn't get dirty - so I kept stretching it to now. If you don't get dirty you don't need to wash and even if you do - the dirt eventually falls off. I care more about cleaning from the inside out - so if I'm really dirty, I'll eat some greens, bananas, protein, etc. and the dirt flicks right off. One time I did add rice protein to my super damaged hair and it's been fine after that.

I have been thinking of trying this purely bc of my hair being thin and quite fragile, shampoo seems to just make it more damaged and too dry.
