13 months ago I wrote about the experiment-health-latest fad thing I had read about quite a bit online; that whole no-poo thing, not using shampoo on your hair. Just washing with water and I decided to give it a try then. I came across a link to that post about it, this one right here where I embarked on this experiment and never updated about it again because I completely abandoned the project after a few weeks.
Why? Because it’s gross. I can drivel on about it for a while but the summary of it is this: Not washing your hair is gross. I don’t care what all the other blogs say about it being fine after a while. It’s gross, to me. Yes, water and scrubbing also removes dirt but I LIKE SOAP. I like smelling pretty and clean, the end.
The positive thing that did come out of the experiment is that I no longer use conditioner and never feel the need to. I use a no silicone – paraben free yaddayadda shampoo (I can’t recall the name at all) and as someone who has always felt that I needed to use conditioner, and always did, this is huge! It has definitely simplified my routine and I don’t notice it anymore.
Another positive is that my hair doesn’t get greasy and heavy as fast between washings unless I’ve been working out. Previous I would wash and condition and have yucky hair again by the next morning. Lather-rinse-repeat, literally. So in short, the no shampoo thing? Not for me, it’s 2017, not 1817 and I think even in 1817 they had some basic soap, soaps been around for a while and I’ll keep using it, to wash my hair and bodyparts to smell pretty. Hayyy.
