Inspired by a recent thread. I’ve seen a bunch of people advocating for no shampoo lately, and I want to get to the bottom of this.

Anti-shampoo people, show yourselves, I want answers. Should we all stop doing shampoo? Is it a thing for everyone or only certain hair types? Is it superior to good shampoo + good conditioner? Do you need to do literally anything with it if you’re doing no shampoo or just let it go wild? This whole thing flies in the face of everything I think I know about hair and I want ANSWERS dammit 😤

What did humans do before shampoo? Did everyone just have frizzy, dry, or oily hair? No, they washed it in a fucking river with water because your hair already has oils in it that keep it healthy. No, this isn’t a nature worship meme, shampoo is bad because it strips oils from your hair and causes your hair to overproduce oil to compensate, causing a awful cycle of dryness, oiliness, and torment. So just stop, wash your hair with water in the shower, and in a few weeks you hair (anyone’s hair, doesn’t matter what type) will stop overproducing oil and you will be gucci.

I love it when I go a week without washing my hair and my scalp starts hurting. Say no to shampoo. Everyone should have a painful scalp all the time.

You get about a week of being an oily fuck and then it goes down cause it’s not trying to compensate for shampoo drying your hair out. Barely ever washing my hair has made it look a billion times better and with less maintenance.

Your hair will be gross and you’ll wanna shampoo it, just rinse real good. The grease period is real but after that you have a lifetime of way easier hair to deal with.

I’m sorry if I caused frustration, this really is something I’ve been seeing for a while and the people in that thread reminded me of it is all.
