Is no poo legit? Is shampoo evil?

Anonymous Sat Sep 21 20:26:06 2019 No.14652192

I tried it for a month or two last year, no shampoo only conditioner. My hair is naturally wavy but it made it even wavier, also it felt thicker because of the oils that didn't get removed by massaging the scalp with conditioner on.
Works for 2-3 days maximum, then it feels just too gross to go outside.

Shampoo isn't evil, but the cosmetics industry is. Shampoo is loaded with unproven crap like papaya or avocado, and people are told to use way too much of it. You should only wash your hair 1 or 2 times a week max. You should use a very small amount of shampoo.

Most people fall for the meme hard and was their hair daily with a big dollop. Of course it will fuck your hair up, you need to use a lot of conditioner to even maintain your hair when you are that aggressive.

If you have long hair I think it is worth using shampoo and conditioner so you can replace the sebum with a nicer smelling oil.

I did no poo for like a year. After a couple of months or so the dandruff and itchiness stopped, but my hair ended up just being really greasy and not in a nice way. I wouldn't recommend it just based on my own experiences. I think you're better off using some $20 eco-friendly no chemical gluten-sensitivity shampoo.

No poo is designed for people with curly or kinky hair that breaks and frizzes easily if overdried. I honestly don't know why so many straight- and wavy-haired white people latched on to no poo. It's like the coconut oil thing.

There's nothing horribly wrong with shampoo.

I should warn you however that the shampoo doesn't lather like most people are used to. Don't be deceived and use too much however. You can buy the shampoo and conditioner together for about $40 on amazon. I have used both before and liked it. I have tried out many different shampoos but this one has been one of the betters ones for sure. I also add gelatin to my shampoos for a protein boost and to get more mileage out of my shampoos.

Did it for like a month because I lived like a hermit crab around that time. I smelled like a wet dog I was disgusted by myself but never tried something like apple cider vinegar which apparently helps. Now I only shampoo once a week maybe two weeks and only use conditioner. I think this experiment fucked up my hair big time because before I had wavy/straight hair but now I've got really curly hair. fml lads

Hair is dead. It can't be used to shampoo. It's your scalp. Even then, it only takes a couple of days/weeks for your scalp and oil production to adapt

Whether or not, nopoo is viable depends entirely on the person's hair and skin type, which can't change.

>>14653052
I noticed a few years back that people with straight hair were talking about using coconut oil in their hair. This was already something black/curly haired people did because coconut oil is one of the few oils that penetrates the hair strand and can helps prevent many kinds of damage. Curly/kinky hair benefits from CO because it’s dry.

It was interesting to me because I understand that straight hair gets greasy on its own—not really a thing for black people. I didn’t really understand why someone would add more oil to hair prone to oiliness.

I've been doing no poo for a couple years now. I condition about once a week. I have wavy hair and I found that using shamp made my hair really "light" and it got way too much volume, almost like an afro or a blow-dry. I have used shampoo on a couple of occasions when my hair has gotten really dirty.
In short: shamp is a sham, go no-poo

No poo for a year if you want a reference. It doesn’t smell but I don’t notice an increase amount of compliments, I suggest you only do it when you know you’re not going to be public really for three months or just don’t care what others think. Not sure if I’m going to continue or not

The pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. That's why it turns grey. I guess if you've literally never cut your hair you would see a slow change from your normal hair color to grey. It's also why people with Vitiligo will have hair with no color to it as well.

There's something about no-poo that many (most) people miss and that's preening their sebum with a board bristle brush, a wooden comb or by hand through all the lenght of the hair.
That said, I tried no-poo for like four months I think, it was nice but my hair got too heavy and my dandruff was bad the last month so I had to end it. But I'm used to only shampoo every 1 or two weeks only, and very diluted.
I would say that no-poo is only a meme for people that do it like a meme. If you research it well and keep an eye on your hair to see if it likes it or not, then it's something that can totally work.

It doesn't smell bad either, my moms the first to nag me to shower if i smell like shit, but it rarely happens anymore. After a while your body will realize to stop producing as much oils.

The only downsides is you won't be able to put fruity smells in your hair anymore, and that your towels will get dirty a lot faster because they'll essentially be rubbing off and soaking in all the oils from now on.

I've been nopoo for about 14 years. My hair has a pretty perfect oil balance, but obviously it was greasy at first. It depends on whether or not you wanna ride it out for awhile I guess. I have a high density of super straight hair, and when I used shampoo it made my hair like a baby chick's fluff, so I stopped.

toilet paper is less evil , best way for cleaning your ass is with a bidet sprayer , and after that pat it down with little paper (no wiping)
you can buy them separate .
with paper you dont reach the most important areas , you only scratch the surface , and buy scratching it , you can create damage to your anus .

when you have scars on your anus , you life is fucked , recovery will take a lone time.
the anus is important point of NERVES CENTER.

soooo just saying , dont take that lightly .
just ask people with the condition ANAL-FISSURE. a condition created by constipation(overweight or deadlifting) were it leaves a scar of 2mm .

people describe the pain when going to the bathroom as if you are squeezing broken glass or razorblades through your asshole.

the pain is INTENSE and you know what , there is NO solution to fix it .
you get only creamed in the hope it will fix it , after that you got botox to relax the muscles and hope that it will be fixed within that time period after that it will become surgery .

bc of your shampoo , start slow and smart.
change your shampoo to baby-shampoo .
those dont have agressive ingredients , use that for a while , will make you hair less oily.
(using that too before the swtich to no poo)

after that you can see if you want to go further or not . baby shampoo is veryyy cheap.
