2+Years of NoPoo (No Shampoo) and Why I Quit | Minimalist Hair Care

I started water only hair care in May 2020. It is called NoPoo(No Shampoo), and some Japanese minimalist try it.
And recently I started using shampoo again.
In this video, I'm talking about my NoPoo experience, its advantages and disadvantages, and why I stopped NoPoo.

I tried no poo one time, my belly hurted like hell.

[abundantlyblessed]

I am starting the no poo method again this weekend, ( I tried a couple years ago and my impatience was the cause of me failing), I've been recently researching historical hair care and was floored as to how much hair everyone had back then, the women's hair was floor length!
Thank you for sharing your experience !

I did no poo for two years, I started at 14 and stopped at 16 because I had dandruff and my scalp was so itchy I couldn’t help but scratch it until it bled. It was so uncomfortable in school when I’d scratch and so much dandruff would fall onto my desk. I started using shampoo again and never had dandruff again or an itchy scalp. I still use head and shoulders once a month because I’m just terrified of feeling that itch again. It’s been 7 years since I’ve been shampooing again. The only good thing that came out of that was I can go 2 weeks and some days without washing my hair and I have straight blonde hair

As someone whose skin get irritated by shampoos I started using amla+reetha+shikakai power for hairwash and it works plus no skin trouble. I do have to brush my hair after drying to get all the power crumbs out but it's really good and cleaning. Putting it here in case it might help someone.

I think it depends on your skin and hair type. I wash my hair twice a week in the winter, and 3 to 4 times a week during the summer. Of course, if I'm exercising and swimming, I will wash it more often. Depending on my week, I would use shampoo, but other times..i just use cool/cold water (if I have no hair products in my hair, which i rarely have). My hair feels thicker and less frizzy that way. By the way, I'm middle eastern woth very fair skin and curly/wavy med length hair. I don't straighten or blowdry my hair straight. Just towel dry, wrap in a tshirt, and sometimes use leave on conditioner on frizzy days.

Thank you for explaining how you washed your hair during the no poo time. I have suffered through numerous no poo videos and nobody explains it, yet they talk for 20 minutes or more. I currently have a routine, wash my hair once a week or longer during summer and once a month or longer during winter. I have very dry skin and believe I'd be successful at a no poo regime. I've been wanting to try it but never found out how to wash it until now. Thank you again ❤.

I have done no-poo before, leading to only needing to wash about every 1-2 weeks with long hair. I shaved my head a few months ago and decided to start fresh with no shampoo, only using a scalp brush. I experienced the same as you, flakes, so I stopped scrubbing as often. Now, my hair is growing out and the longest part is hitting my shoulders, still not using shampoo. I have no problems with the texture or styling of my hair, and it feels, looks and smells clean. I have lightly washed it about 4 times since shaving, with a natural soap bar but only gently and on the hairline when I have been sweaty/dirty in the garden. I am really happy with my hair now, and hope as it keeps growing out I can keep this up. I will be okay if I have to use some sort of cleanser here and there, but hoping it will only need like once a month.

Very refreshing video! A breath of fresh air compared to the 15/20 minutes lasting ones about this subject! Very helpful aswell and the build up was great :) Thank you!!

Why would anyone wash their hair in hot water? It's bad for the scalp and also for the hair. The hair is much nicer and less frizzy once you wash it in either warm or cooler water!

[suzannescorner]

Doing no poo right now, it's been two weeks and my hair is looking good.

Might update this comment in a few months but my advice for the start is :
1) If your scalp gets too greasy, rinse it with hot water.
2) Use natural essential oils like tea tree before your rinse if you are worried about smell/scalp infection. (PS: Make sure you can handle essential oils first! I never had any bad reactions to them)
3) I personally still use some no rinse conditioner for my lengths after a rinse, when my hair is soaking wet. My hair is bleached so I need it.

When I was in highschool, I was poor and don't have money to buy shampoo. I just shampoo my hair once I was able to save money to buy. My hair is super straight, shiny and smooth.My classmates said I can be a model of shampoo. Now I am an adult, earning and can shampoo every day. My hair became horrible.

Thank you so much ! So very precious for anyone to share such a type of journey!

[Resoundinglyavergage]

This video was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, I learned a lot from it.

[kylelitwack]

I love the video! I'm a minimalist as well and I'm a couple weeks into not using shampoo. It's still kind of greasy but I have always had a sensitive scalp that would hurt unless I shampood every day and if my hair got too long it hurt too. So far it hurt for a bit but then it stopped hurting. I'm hoping it gets less greasy because I've always wanted long hair but it hurts so bad. Anyways I subscribed and hope to see more videos in the future.

Hello from France ! 😊✨
I didn't know anything about NoPoo before watching your video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I learned a lot !
I tend to struggle with my scalp issues... I will keep your piece of advice in mind in case it doesn't get better 👍

[MamasDaughter]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am doing research on this subject ❤️

I wash my hair every two to three weeks. I use shampoo on on the scalp, then rinse it off. I used to put and leave in blue magic, but stopped that last month.
The hair has gotten less frizzy, grown extremely fast and has a lot of volume.

I have always had "doll hair" and do not dye the hair, wearing a natural gray.

My experience with no poo is not a good one. My hair got this waxy film; that is gone now.
It was also hard to manage; I had tangles. My hair didn't feel clean nor looked clean; I was insecure about my hair. I eventually developed scalp problems fungi, dandruff and itchy scalp my hair is also in a stagnate length. I lost alot of hair and my hair collected dust. For reference I have low prosoity hair, dry ends and oily scalp. Where I live the water isnt to harsh. I have tried from clarifying shampoos and danruff products. I am finding ways to fix my scalp again. I am considering herbal shampoos now.

[sarahmarie]

Wash your hair with only conditioner! I mix conditioner almost half & half with raw honey & use that to wash my hair & my hair is soft, healthy, not oily, & does not get tangled!

[suyintan]

I tried water only, and baking soda/ACV solution, these didn't work in the long term. It's been many years now since I started my no poo journey, and I can say without a doubt that the best solution I found was the traditional Indian soapnut/shikakai solution. It cleans and makes the hair silky soft, I only wash once or twice a week. I'm very happy with this.
