I don’t use shampoo at all just water and really good and in addition I use just water for my face and not a zip not oili …Fresh all the time …I should try organic products and u should check what is in your toothpaste….there are many chemicals what’s on black list in food but not in beauty care products….

I've been like 6 months with maybe 4 washes with shampoo. I have very thin hair and now my hair feels stronger, thicker, with more volume, doesn't look greasy, looks better than ever before and I don't need any product to keep it with a nice shape. I don't believe Johnny in this case, I believe the results I have.
@@bossgaming4446 Etsy have lots of people selling clean soaps and shampoos.I like the charcoal,honey and turmeric soap.Most of the soaps can be used on hair.If you don't use shampoo you want to rinse it with some fruit juice like lemon or orange.

that's exactly the Food industry and the Pharma industry, they are two sides of the same coin: one makes you sick with milk and GMO foods and the other calms down the symptons without ever healing you for good
so I usually make videos about maps and international stuff but as you all can see lately i've been diving into all sorts of different topics (NFTs, icecream makers, shampoo). The reality is that I make my videos based on what is genuinely fascinating me at any moment. I'm glad you are all here along with me on this wild ride of trying to understand how things work. lots more stuff to come! -Johnny
Quick update: Shortly after watching this video, I gave up using shampoo. That was about 16 months ago or so. I have to report that my scalp and hair are better than ever. No dry scalp/dandruff. No "greasy" hair. Everything talked about in this video is true it would seem. Most importantly, it seems I have less grey hair than before (for context, I am in my mid 50s). So I can say without hesitation that shampoo is a farce. Just wash your hair regularly as usual, but just use water. I saved enough that I recently bought a new car. (Just kidding. That's what I do tell people though, just to see the look on their faces. (But I did but a new car 😂)
@@lancer717No, you don’t HAVE to style it, you just want to. Likely because society makes you feel that you must look your absolute best. Not good for your hair using any styling products.
@@lancer717 If you have a desire to use hair products then slowly move into using shampoo once a week or once a month. Strictly just use conditioner for everyday use. There's a video titled "You suck at hair care" by fashion elitist that you should watch.
I haven't put anything in my hair but water for 2 years. No one in my family noticed anything. Then as soon as I told them they thought my hair was gross despite the fact they have been looking at it for 2 years without noticing.
the brain is a crazy thing to own, it’s like a program i watched about a woman who suffered from migraines and someone come into help and done a monthly chart for her to slow down, little did she know that by the time it came to her last week she was only taking a mock up tablet which contained no medicine, but her migraines had gone, everything is controlled with the mind 😳
I have actual sehaboric dermatitis (dandruff) and I can tell you most shampoos have scents and salts in them that can cause allergic reaction that cause dandruff outbreaks also. I use a special medical shampoo twice a week now and thats it. Hair has never been better.
I'll go ahead & throw my experience out there. I used Head & Shoulders, not because I had dandruff, I just liked what it did to my hair. After 35 years of that, I suddenly started getting sores on my scalp. I now wash my hair (with a mild, normal shampoo) only every 2-3 days. Scalp feels so much better now, & while a little greasy at first, it quickly became much less bad. But we all have a different biochemistry, so results will vary
Johnny, don't listen to Iz, she's just reverse psychologing (like that's even a word) you in order to save money on the expensive hair products... I wonder if it really works.
I haven't shampooed my hair in years either. I still wash it every day, but only with warm water. And it's totally fine. No dandruff, no itching and it feels really smooth and clean. I think I started at the beginning of the pandemic when I had to stay at home and how I looked didn't matter much. But there wasn't even any transition period where my hair and skin had to get used to it. It just has been fine from day one.
@@gonssavm4048 Mine gets oily too. If I even skip washing for 1 day, I notice it. That was the way with shampoo too. Washing with water only, I noticed no change at all how my hair feels and behaves.
As someone for whom sulfate-free shampoos mostly don't do the trock and leave the hair hanging like a mop, no, they don't suck. The key is trial and error in realising how often you need to wash your hair, how much shampoo you need for it and what shampoos work for you, although the last part is usually the problem.
@@frozenburrit053 note that he was also putting pomade in his hair; if someone doesn't even need to use a conditioner because their hair is healthy on its own, and just uses a shampoo, and has long hair where the oily roots look a bit... obvious, then no shampoo won't work for them - or at least, it won't make them look acceptable for today's looks standards (while his hair do look styled and modern), because while such short hair can look so shiny and, well, oily without looking gross (when they are styled, and everyone assumes it's this expensive styling product), long hair with oily roots look "unclean" and is harder to put in various styles (possibly easier to put in other styles, too). It also looks darker. So I don't think this trick would work.
I seriously appreciate that Johnny frames this as everyone has a different scalp/hair situation and what works for one person doesn't work for the next and just talks about what does for themself.
Yeah it's good that he mentions it because his way definitely doesn't work for everyone. Unless people are into hair care they think you need to wash their hair a lot which us just wrong. Once you get into hair care it is very easy to understand why washing your hair a lot is bad. This video is unfortunately not very informative when it comes to hair care and the science behind it. He is spreading a lot of misinformation. It's like a misinterpreted tip of the iceberg of how hair care should function. But at least he reached the tip of the iceberg...
@@ducklingscap897 yupp :I If i don't wash my hair after the 3rd day it will cause breakouts on my face and neck :I. also my curls start to not be curls anymore and just straighten out or become wavy v.v funny enough my head becomes more itchy after not washing for too long and it becomes too unbearable. He's also leaving out the fact that you're supposed to CONDITION lol if you just shampoo then your hair is gonna be DRY af and that's the job of conditioners to reapply moister into your scalp/hair. You can have soft, non-greasy, healthy hair while still washing and it just seems like he has more of a fixation on his betrayal by Head and Shoulders just being a garbage product lol... which i didn't think it was something that needed to be said. This isn't an attack on him even though it probably comes out that way, but i'm just trying to say that Companies are gonna advertise... just because it's a garbage product that they make doesn't mean Big Shampoo is out to brainwash the general populace to spend more on something they "don't need". Just do your research and figure out what's best for you instead of mindlessly buying products and feeling bitter over it. That's all
4 months into this. Best hair advice ever. I used to have a really greasy hair, and now it does not happen anymore, and not only that, it has never looked so good.
@@WhaTheBibleSaysJust water, that’s been my routine for the past 5 years and my hair’s perfectly fine, no dandruff or anything. Obviously if you use hair products like gel or hairspray then ofc you need shampoo to get rid
Due to my anxiety, I tend to play with my hair and run my fingers through it constantly. Last year I decided to get rid of all my brushes since I already detangle my hair with my fingers. I only wash my hair twice a month. My hair has never been more stronger and healthier. Now I’m working on my body, and have lost 50lbs.
I subscribed in part because of this video. And speaking of this video, you know...turns out I'm one of those people that yes, am doing much better without shampoo. My wife and I mainly buy locally sourced, handmade, excellent soaps. We are quite hygienic. It didn't work with my wife, but it sure has with me. I use these great soaps for both body & head now. MUCH less itchy scalp, not even noticing any dandruff, flakies. I have been enjoying your content since, checking stuff out, learning, challenging, etc. Great work. 🙂
I use my own formulated hair oil instead of shampoo . It's 2parts 0-30w diesel engine oil , one part regular 0- 50w semi synthetic. Gives it that shiny luster
I kid you not Johnny,, it has been two years since I watched this video of yours the first time... The last time I used shampoo was just a few days before I watched it. This video has contributed immensely to my journey of having beautiful healthy hair. The first comment I get when I meet someone is the praise for my defined curls. All I have to say is THANKYOUUU from the bottom of my heart.
I tried the “no-poo” for a month or so. It’s true the oils will level out and I didn’t get any smell complaints. I think I went back when my wife said it was gross not shampooing. 3 years ago she became my ex-wife, so maybe it’s time to try the no-poo again.
Awesome. I was wondering about the smell. Sometimes it gets warm and I get sweaty, so I rinse my hair with water in case I stink. LOL, I hope that gets rid of the sweaty smell.
if you eat natural unprocessed organically grown foods you won’t smell bad. bad bacteria grows due to the consumption of too much sugar from processed foods. your body needs sugar for energy but fruit based sugars, fructose opposed to sucrose is ideal. it’s important to have the right bacteria in your stomach eating foods like organic yogurt & organic sauerkraut (probiotics) green bananas (prebiotics) same thing w your skin, as it has a biome as well that needs to stay balanced.
In hair school they literally taught us that head and shoulders and any dandruff shampoo doesnt fix the problem it has a numbing agent in it so you don’t feel itchy
@j - k Yes, they must be tired of those labeling... admiting instead of rejecting to avoid conflicts. Also, by calling themselves hippie, people will leave them alone.
I had very oily hair for a long time, leading me to shampoo them daily. But at the end of the day it was oily again. After researching a bit, I started experimenting with doing it less. After a while I forgot to do it for over two months and I was totally fine while having an consistent look. Now I only wash them with water, except when I get a haircut every six weeks. Some of my friends also started shampooing their hair less and are happier with how they feel and look!
As a woman, I sort of agree to this. I DON'T totally not use shampoo. I learned from a doctor that washing your hair too much or less is a lie, you should only wash your hair when you feel that there's too much oil or grease in your hair. That's why I only shampoo once every week.
Bruhh i got this weird inheritance from my father where he's hair and mine is so oily even though it's not that long and when i get to shower i literally shampoo my hair twice everyday because the first try doesn't bubble bc of the grease it produces LMAO and it is costy af.
So I'm a hairdresser - in you are kinda right, but not 100%. Shampoos with Sodium Lauryl sulphates (SLS) will strip out the natural oils, as it is basically a detergent. Yes it causes your scalp to become dry .... because it has stripped your natural oils. Your sebaceous glands become dehydrated and to deal with it - produce more oils. So that creates a cycle which isn't healthy for your scalp or hair. I wash my hair every 7 to 10 days ... I use a shampoo, but without the SLS stuff, and recommend it to my customers because it also will not strip out the colour they have paid me to apply ! Conditioners - well a shampoo will open up the outer layer of your hair, and a conditioner closes it back, but with longer hair, it also helps add oils that may be missing, due to the hairs age - and what we do to it. Not all contain silicones - and they are bad for it. The 3 companies you mentioned - yup they have marketed to people and produced an empire from it ... which is based on things that are not fundamentally always the case for people. Toothpaste - you don't NEED it, to get your teeth clean, you just need to apply friction - to remove any build up matter - that can be with a toothbrush or those dental sticks etc Toothpaste just makes the experience taste nicer. (I also have 12 years of medical experience, which included some dentistry) Good video - I enjoyed it. I personally can't get away without using a shampoo due to a form of dandruff (there are many types), but I do encourage all my customers to wash their hair less often ! It hurts my shampoo sales, but over all - makes for better healthier hair, with colours that last longer (which also costs me money lol)
the fact that you put the health of your clients over the money you could make out of it really talks good about you. Really interesting comment btw, very informative!
When we were children, shampoo had not yet arrived in India. Twice a week we had to oil our hair and then wash it off using chickpea flour or soapnut powder. When a senior relative was gifted shampoo from the US, she would use it to wash the table or other things in the house, saying she was not sure what it would end up doing. We yearned to use some of it as shampoo. Perhaps i will now go back to coconut oil and chickpea flour
Same here. Haven’t washed my hair in a very long time. It got rid of my dandruff completely, literally never itches and my hair looks the best it’s ever been. Crazy.
This idea isn't new. A lot of very, very high end stylists say, "Don't use shampoo, unless your need to wash something (ie, hair product) out of your hair." I wash my hair a few times a year, usually only if it has like chlorine in it or something. If you have long hair, wash the ends, not your scalp, and comb your hair after washing to distribute the oils your scalp makes naturally. Soap isn't your skin's friend in general. For your groin, or underarms, yes. Anywhere where bacterial growth, signified by odor, is a thing, yes. Otherwise, no. Soap should be used sparingly, and *never* on your face. Fundamentally, skincare is about PH. If your skin is dry or oily it's overcompensating. When in doubt, let it do it's own thing for awhile and then decide what it needs. Moisturizer with SPF, and a decent cleanser are really all most people need. (Not counting specialty products for wrinkles, pore refining, color correcting, whatever.)
i did it (or better say not) for one to two weeks, or cycle of wash. I hate about it that after 5 days of so it feels dirty and every touching is full of fat (§and oil) what i have to, cause i use a hair gum. I have to wash it 2 times then for feeling it clean and to get rid of this fat !?! it's discusting and . . . guess what ? -dirty- / may it's a dirty hair - dirty bussiness 'thing(?) BUT I'M SO THANKFULL TO HAVE SHAMPOO CAUSE SOAP IS just laughing at me loud if i have to wash them
Thanks for sharing your story. I have recently stopped washing my hair as much because I noticed some hair loss and itching. It's interesting to say that washing it less or not at all has reduced the itching significantly. I know there were times when I washed my hair everyday that I developed dandruff. So there is definitely some science involved in the experiment. Washing your hair and skin too much is definitely not good. On the issue of hand washing... You strip your skin of natural oils and they become dry and itchy. You are definitely on to something and there is definitely a lot of psychological issues involved in the marketing of many products. Again, thanks for your honesty and sharing your experiences.
After washing my hair with just water, what's the best way to dry it? Should I sit in the sun, use a towel to pat it dry, or is there another method? (I'm a 19-year-old boy from South Asia). Also, I've noticed my hair feels sticky if I don't use shampoo at least once a week.
As a hairstylist i totally support this message!!! Im selfemployed and have Chosen to ONLY have a very few products for sale in salon, and these products are made for HAIR issues, not scalp issues... and I educate my clients to shampoo less!!! I only shampoo once a week - but only because I use powdery products and color my hair - so to keep the look I want I use specific products... My adult son ( 27 yo) haven’t used shampoo on his hair for 8-9 years - and his hair look great!!
@@charliemendez9991 and massage the scalp - either with fingers or a silicone ‘shampoo brush’... Especially if you use product the massage is important, but either Way, the massage helps clean the scalp and gives more bloodflow to the follicles so it actually helps the Hair to grow ;)
@@natyqueen - just remember that the ‘cold turkey’ approach isnt for everyone... i wash once a week, and that took me a while to work up too.. The ‘no poo’ movement works because of friktion - people use ‘thinner’ conditioners to use in their Hair while scrubbing, because of the slip it creates... The biggest thing to remember is that to clean Hair without shampoo needs more time... because you use only your fingers and water to lift and remove exces oils.... Oh and be carefull with too hot water, that is also a reason for dryness....
I actually stopped washing my hair a year ago and its unbelievable how much more clean and soft it is. It never gets oily. I can't believe someone else has done the same.
You’re not alone. Not only have I stopped washing my hair, I only use soap on the parts of my body where skin touches skin and allows for sweat to collect. Except, of course, for my hands since the pandemic started.
Good for you. Whenever I stop washing my hair for more than two days, my scalp becomes itchy and eventually the portions of the skin on my head start turning red form scratching it. It's really annoying...
@@markovitorovic That’s because your hair is used to being damaged with shampoo. Give it some time to adjust, wash with cold water as hot water dries it out by stripping natural oils out from your hair and making it itchy.
I had acne all over my body for years. I hit a rough patch finacially, and literally could not afford shampoo and stuff like that. I got a free hairtrimmer from a friend and just went with the buzzcut diy job, and my gf would do the neck area for me. I havent used soap and shampoo to shower in over 10 years now. I never have to use deodorant, no giant sweat patches anymore, no itches, no flaky skin, no acne, nothing. And yes, i have asked people close to me, and no, i do not smell at all. Im dutch and the dutch are really honest, and if you smell, they will tell you straight up infront of everyone, and not in a nice easy way. (i work construction, so sometimes i just have to out of health concerns, grease, oil, crawl spaces, feces from leaking sewerlines etc. But thats maybe 3 or 4 times a year max i get really dirty that plain water cant fix.)
It's a bit different for me. I live in an extremely humid place and have an extremely sweaty body (I sweat like hell by doing nothing lol) and I smell like shit within 5 hours. But yeah, I never shampoo my hair, I just run water through my hair, but they stink like hell after like 2-3 weeks, so I just shampoo once a month to get rid of the stink and shizz. I just use a bar of soap and some deodorant (because I smell when I sweat) and call it a day.
I also quit shampooing my hair for the exact same reason. I have naturally oily hair and when i shampoo i got itchy and dry scalp. When i quit washing my hair it all stopped
Same! My hair is also naturally oil but shampoo made it brittle dry with flaky scalp, even the shampoos for dry scalp. I've also found my hair has had significantly fallout since I stopped shampoo. It took about 4 weeks to get it into a rhythm but since washing with just water it's been amazing.
i only shampoo my hair once every 7-10 days but keep it a secret since it's known to society as being "gross", and let me tell you, my hair is healthiest than most people's hair
A lot of people do that. I hear about people with longer or medium hair, wash their hair like once a week. In the winter I wash mine probably every 7 days, in the summer it’s probably every 3-4 depending if I’m working out or more active. My hair is pretty thick and I get it thinned out. When I was a teenager I tried doing the natural way of washing of my hair and well, it did not work out. I ended up with actual dandruff and then actually caught a case of lice from another girl that never washed her hair.
Same thing applies to toothpaste... I only brush with water and use a water pick.... 38yo and have very healthy teeth, never needed anything done except normal cleanings every 6 month. Probably 20 years now no toothpaste
Americans are weird.. Like, wtf… Here in Italy, I’ve asked from hair salons to doctors and most of them said that if you wash your hair more than 3 days a week you’re overdoing and probably ruining your hair. Even commercials say “don’t use it everyday “.
True. Same in India. People maybe shampoo 4-5 times a month. Though coconut oil is very popular in India and people have been putting them in their hair almost regularly since centuries. Parachute coconut oil is the go to oil for Indians.
I'll be honest with you, the recent addition of videos like this one and the mcdonald ice cream machine one, these are the kinds of video i want to see and many will agree with me. This information sheds light to the darkness that we had to live with all this time. An amazing work of investigative journalism. Truly amazing , sir. I hope you'll keep going with spreading the light like this. Best wishes...
I just watched the ice cream machine. Our McDonald's machine is NEVER working. They say it's being cleaned...funny it's being cleaned all hours all different days.
As a Spanish living in Spain and having lived in America I don't know how to feel about this haha. It's definitely interesting how business works... I honestly feel like my hair gets pretty oily every day or so. And it gets quite annoying sometimes. But I've never stopped to think about what might be causing it or what solutions there are. I will keep this video in mind and maybe reduce shampooing this next weeks and see how it goes for me. Just to add some more information, I live in a very humid place so I always thought that was a reason for it. Very inserting video though.
As a product formulator, did you know that a body wash has practically the same formula for shampoo minus some hair conditioning ingredients which can be resolved with a conditioner on the hair anyways. Brands have to find ways to get people to buy their products much like how 'natural' brands these days use fear of chemicals.
Same ingredients or not, lets say you use x amount of shampoo and 2x amount of body wash it would still be 3x of body wash if its the same stuff, youre not really losing out on buying both unless theres a noticeable price difference
@J Q You can use bar soap if you find it preferable or more affordable, but for me I find liquid washes tend to go further than bar soap, so it ends up costing less. The composition of liquid “soap” and bar soap are different as well; you couldn’t get the same product by dissolving bar soap in water.
I like bar soap a lot better so I may actually start using that as 'shampoo'! I have too many dumb minor allergies, and for some reason liquid soaps set them off far worse than bars, so this will be handy :)
Definitely it's a lie. In fact, most personal grooming habits we take for granted now weren't practiced until the 1970's when Madison Ave. started bombarding us with ads for shampoo, soap, perfume, and shaving products and convinced us that we had to shower every single day. A few years later, when our skin was drying out from too much showering, they sold us moisturizers! You have to admit, they didn't miss a trick. Each problem caused by the previous ad campaign was solved by another until we were buying hundreds of products we didn't need and that we'd be better off without.
True things like Listerine often had other uses like floor cleaning or foot cleaning, but made millions more by shifting to mouth wash. Most people don't need to use Listerine, if you think you do, try a tongue cleaner (scraper) instead.
The 1970s? More like the 1920s. My hair is naturally oily and it gets icky if I don't shampoo daily. And I shower every day because I'm considerate of the people around me and I don't want to stink.
I wash my hair with shampoo maybe once a week, sometimes even less. If I wash it more often it gets more greasy. The less i wash it (with shampoo! I still use water) the less greasy it gets. Or at least it takes way longer to get really greasy. Some people think it’s weird but honestly... I’m saving money, my hair feels way healthier and I know my scalp is thanking me for it.
Once I found out Im allergic to glycerin I found a random shampoo without it(was hard but managable!) and noticed my scalp stopped being flaky after washing at all, it also stopped producing too much oil. My allergy isn't very obvious - my skin suffers from it but not a drastically and since basically every care product contained glycerin I thought I just had terrible skin. Turns out I don't! Honestly, these products may contain a lot of different ingredients and it's kind of a gamble in itself if one product will work with your body or not...
so what do u use for ur hair than? just washing ur hair with water is not enough right? bcz i stopped using shampoo for 2 months now and my head feel fatty, i have to crab the whole time, i have sebum in my hair, feels really not good, i need to use some kind of cleaning product for my hair idk.. someone help? :)
@@chilltheheart3735 I use a solid shampoo bar around once a week + a hair mask, and conditioner every time wash my hair with only water. I gotta say though I have curly/wavy hair and every hair is different. But this is what works for me!
I haven't used shampoo for almost 20 years. I keep my hair short but it's healthy. I've been trying to get my wife to go without shampoo but she argued you need it if you have long hair. So this pandemic, I grew my hair out. I didn't like having long hair but I still never felt a need for shampoo. She still uses shampoo. Commercials work on some/most people.
My Mom has been a Hairdresser for over 4 decades. Commercials have never played a part in my or much of my family’s feelings regarding shampoo. My Mom’s education and work on hundreds of clients, however, is absolutely something to which I take heed; in my own life, by day 4-5, my fine, oily hair is so limp, so uncomfortable, so lacking even the ability to look cute in a ponytail or a bun, and not to mention it’s retained various smells if I’ve been outside, it is a absolutely crucial that I wash my hair. My hair looks best on day 1 and with a dry shampoo, it’s okay on day 2. I have friends with thick, coarse, wavy or curly hair, and my fiancé has hair like that- their hair looks great for up to 5 days, with it looking best on the latter days. I just know that I washed my hair Friday night, and it had been 3 days/72 hours. My hair looked like shit. It felt like shit. I could’nt even sleep comfy because it felt so icky. I love my hair slightly stripped of its natural oils and hot curled after a blow out. It’s the only time and only way my fine, silky, straight hair looks and feels bouncy, shiny, cute, and fluffy. I cannot imagine never shampooing again. I’d rather shave my head bald!
it's physically impossible to be a no poo person.....we all have to poo at least once a week.....as in drop a load, pinch a loaf, make a doo doo???! it should be no shamp....just saying....be part of the new no shamp cult today!! join us or die! lolz
When I was living in Japan, I was shampooing every single day. After I moved to Australia, people told me shampooing every day is not good. I was like 'Ew how is that possible" at the beginning. But it made sense because it's very dry in Australia. In Toronto too. In Germany, people skip even showering. I think it really depends on the climate where you live. If it's tropical, or dried country or so.
@@MahmurdSahara if your body is used to having a shower everyday, yeah it's gonna stink after missing a day, you have to retrain your skin. Showering everyday was a scam brought on by soap and purfume manufactures, it can damage your skin and the human microbiome which is essential to good health :)
@@MahmurdSahara this is about the hair you can still shower everyday if you feel like you smell. Not every one will stink as bad as you but that's okay
I support you in your journey here, and yes, it's definitely your own. I cam here as part of trying to learn more about the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners, because I want to make my own for myself. Sadly, my hair gets so greasy and never even-out or whatever, and the itching/flaking gets worse, not better, when I don't shampoo it, that I do need something for myself at least once in awhile. I am really POed about all the harmful chemicals in shampoos (and every other product on this planet, but whichever), and I want something that's chemical free to use to wash my hair, probably about once every week or so. I'm glad you don't have to shampoo your hair! I wish I could say the same for mine. Anyway, I'm just here to learn, so thank you for sharing!
My family & friends thought I was weird for not washing with shampoo and only water so I started using shampoo again and now my hair hasn't been curly since then. Thank you for reaffirming my belief.
Yeah I also struggled with my curls. At first I thought it was cheap shampoo. Then over shampooing/conditioning. I’m currently one week shampoo free and they are bouncing back!
I'm curious as to how you manage to clean your hair with just simple water. While I'm aware of its cleansing properties, I doubt its overall effectiveness in cases involving prolonged sweating or worse.
I went to a rural village once a beautiful girl with hair like that of adds they show in pantene or tresseme washed her hair with soap once or twice a week. I have stoped using shampoo. Got rid of acne by a lot. Think 🤔 🧐 ppl U know this but the creater brings these things to our minds more dilligiently.
@@eruno_ No he taught me about climate change and about the balance of ecology too. So I was surprised that many didn’t know this when Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” released in 2001. He taught me early on to question my assumptions about everything. Everyone assumes the Earth’s climate has always been this stable but it hasn’t. We had a rare 10,000 year period of stable climate that gave birth to new inventions like farming. With more food produced, more members of the civilizations could focus on education and furthering the species bit by bit. He taught me that the Earth is delicate and beautifully balanced and how we’re tipping that balance just by telling me to question my assumptions. So I apply this same “question my assumption” analogy with marketing, life and pretty much everything 😂 After awhile, it becomes intuitive and it’s probably why I’m invested into crypto 🪄 #BanksAreZeros.
Native Americans actually have different hair from people of predominantly European descent. If I recall their hair is similar to that of East Asians. Most women I've known who are of European ancestry actually don't wash their hair every day, usually once or three times a week since European hair is actually pretty fragile. There's a couple with a TH-cam channel called "Rachel & Jun", the husband is Japanese and his wife is a ginger American. Gingers have very fragile hair and they actually mentioned that he was a bit freaked out that she didn't wash her hair every day. If she did, however, it would become brittle and start to break (she's got very long hair). Japanese people have much stronger hair, probably due to it being more oily or something, I dunno the science. In the same video a bunch of black women said in the comment section that their hair was even more fragile and they had to be very careful about it if it was long. Different requirements for different folks. My ancestry is just typical American bastard, pretty much everything in there, but my mom always told me that the reason I'd probably never lose my hair was because of my Native American great, great grandmother. I dunno, I'm 51 with a full head of annoyingly thick, but blond, hair.
Ive used hemp soap and that worked great for cleaning out dirt and leaving the most of the oils in your hair. I am now using the most basic soap bar I have and that works good as well. They work fine and last a lot longer and are much cheaper if you want to still wash your hair on a regular basis
Totally agree! I haven’t used shampoo in about 2 years. My advice is to use it less and less over time so your hair gets used the change. Having studied design and marketing I came to find out that the strategy of creating a imaginary problem just to be offering the solution is the base of existence for many industries..
@@cutewhitedragon of course. I stopped using shampoo like 10 years ago. But that doesn't mean I don't wash my hair. I wash it according to my activity and weather. Always when I sweat. Otherwise every other day. My hair feels great. Also, stop using shower gel (or at least minimize it's use), your skin will thank you. But that's me, maybe it won't work for you, you will have to test it out.
@@cutewhitedragon During the pandemic I stopped using shampoo and just used the soap bar for my hair to save money, no more dry itchy scalp. Then, I stopped and started using a shampoo every day for a week, now my head is always itchy. Watched this video and now I understand.
I havent used toothpaste for more then 2 years. My routine is pulling oil through my teeth for about 20 minutes and brush without paste ONLY in the morning BEFORE eating. Also I ate some cod oil. Some small cavities closed and tooth pain that would come up every 1-2 years which would lead to me going to a dentist, stoped too. Maybe I should stop using shampoo too... I just didnt really think about it. Not sure if watching a few vids is a good reason to do something, but it feels instinctive. Thanks for the vid mate.
Look up a functional dentist and oral microbiome, it'll give you good insight on why what you did helped. Also check dr james hamblin because he has latest research on what this videos talking about so there's scientific proof about what he's talking about.
Iv been preaching this for years to my family and friends and people just look at me like I must be crazy etc . So I’m not the only crazy one out there . Thnx man .
But are you putting product in your hair? This guy clearly does. So do you just rinse it with water. Like this guy in the video presented this horribly
@@mikekumar9308 Have you tried not shampooing? In my experience, by not stripping away the natural oils I can easily style my hair without product and it even looks like I am using product. So, "This guy clearly does" is a bit of an ignorant statement. I wish he addressed it in the video, but for me, and I think for most people that stop shampooing, it's not just about shampoo, it's about all hair products. Look at the cycle he presents: shampoo, condition, add product, feel greasy, repeat. When you stop shampooing, you stop conditioning, adding product, and feeling greasy - it's about breaking the cycle.
@@Ethan-tn4jc I just had a shower and decided to not shampoo. My hair naturally like to go in my face and is annoying, so I have to use shit to push my hair back. He mentions like three weeks it took, for his natural oils. I won't be able to make 3 weeks without putting product in my hair. So is that gonna ruin the process? Using product while not shampooing until my hair gets this supposed oilyness in a few weeks???
@@mikekumar9308 I wish I had the expertise to advise you here, but all I can say is that for me the transition off of shampoo took less than two weeks and I totally sympathize with the anxiety that comes from having thin messy greasy looking hair - you just have to get through it. For ambitious hairstyles, I think product is unavoidable and I have no idea how to work that into this "organic" approach to scalp maintenance. This is all I know and it works for me.
@@mikekumar9308 most shampoos contain sulfates and parabens which dry out my curly hair to the point where I have to use unsustainable high amounts of conditioner to offset that effect . Now , you can get products without those two things but shampoo still leaves my hair feeling off and weird . I use products but not daily and My hair doesn’t get greasy quickly but I found that apple cider vinegar mixed with water rinses /cleanses my scalp . Other alternatives to cleaning your scalp / balancing the ph is shikakai (Acacia concinna) or neem powder to rinse prior to the conditioner process . Not every day but like every fourth day depending on how much you sweat etc daily . It’s a lil messy with powder but all in all these things work way better for me than most of the shampoos I have tried so far and I’ve been a product junkie for a minute . I use a lot of oils in my hair mixed with leave in conditioners so when my hair needs a “reset “ , I proceed with one of the three things mentioned . It’s one thing to rid your hair of product build up and to ensure a clean/balanced ph scalp but it’s another thing to strip your hair of all its natural oils for then to overdose it on conditioner to get “moisture” or the protecting barrier back. It’s just ensures this weird cycle that he describes in the video .
Growing up I shampood my hair everyday because I was taught that that's just what humans in the first world do. My hair would always be overly dry or overly oily as a result. In my later teens I started experimenting with shampoo'ing much less frequently, like every 4-6 days. Within a couple weeks my scalp adjusted oil production and my hair seemed to be in better condition than when I was shampooing every day. Now, I do it even less than that. I just shampoo when it actually feels dirty, which is once or twice a month on average, and the quality of my hair is better now at age 39 than it was in my teens and twenties.
@@permin9533 it could be that you do need to wash more frequently, or you might just need to give your hair and scalp oil production more time to adjust to a new regimen. Also, I do wash my hair lightly with just water more frequently than that to get dirt and debris and salt out if I've been outside a lot, or been working out a lot.
@@Mechaneer Hey , I've also noticed that my hair becomes more healthy/ looks better after almost a week of no shampooing. The first two days it's just plain dry and fluffy like It's out of 80's or something lol. After the third day , it starts regaining its natural oils and looks shinier ( but NOT greasy ) / stronger . The best I can do is one week , mainly because I want it to smell like shampoo , as I'm very insecure about someone sniffing my hair all of a sudden ( yes , some people around me do it out if nowhere ) . I think as long as we're clean and don't omit any smells , people should have the freedom to groom themselves as they see fit , without judgement/ criticism from their peers. The biggest issue is the media and how it portrays those who don't fit the norm, some people are just like sheep, follow whatever they are told without asking any questions. Hope your hair is going well XD
As a black woman with very curly hair, I have a very different experience with hair washing schedules. All of my hairdressers have always advised me never to wash my hair more than once a week due to the visible fact that my hair genuinely does not produce a lot of oil or grease. My hair is always dry, even after I add leave-in oil-based hair products. Despite being accustomed to only washing my hair once a week I have often questioned the role of shampoo and what its purpose really is. This video really helped me understand some of the history and politics of shampoo. While I am definitely very excited to see how my scalp and hair would feel without shampoo, I do think that conditioner is very helpful and useful for my hair type and I probably will keep using it in my hair care routine.
What I use as a secondary oil if I need it, or want to put some shine back in my hair, I make up a mixture of baby oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and some fragrance oil extract. The baby oil is really to help keep everything mixed together and keep it flowing even when it's cool in the house. Just do a squirt (i put the oils in a repurposed hand soap dispenser), rub hands together, and rub through hair. Gives you a nice sheen, coconut and olive oils are good for your scalp and hair, and the fragrance is like a free body scent that'll last hours if not all day easy. I've used clove oil once and that stayed in my hair for days, even making my pillows smell like cloves. Granted, this works for me, and may not for you. I don't have that kind of hair (white guy here) but maybe something you could try out. The oils are cheap so you wouldn't loose much, and you can cook with the olive/coconut oils of what you don't use ;)
fun fact: dandruff can also be caused by inadequate sleep I've recently been both using less shampoo and trying to get more sleep and the dryscalp/dandruff is slowing vanishing
Great fact. Oh fun fact: disease are caused by not eating well. I've recently been using less supplements and eating more variety and been healthy. No colds or flu for years.
I find this doubtful. I have had a terrible sleep cycle since I started working in child care back in 2016, but I don't have a dandruff problem. I'm sure it's genetic or has some other cause.
At 6:54, the "read a kinda obnoxious business book", why is it obnoxious? I read the same book, (I think?) which also talks about febreze and other techniques, it presented very useful ideas about what marketing psychology does, and I learned how to de-couple those stages. The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg. Love this video. Honestly it's giving me the same value/benefit as the book; I'd give this vid 10 likes if I could. But, one and a comment.
I agree. The big thing left out here is that not using shampoo is one thing. Not washing your body occasionally is another. As an example, thru hikers experience this. Just like not using products to wash your hair, you also won't experience any health problems from not washing your body. However, you will smell different than 99% of modern society, so it is seen as more extreme. I'm assuming this video is really about rinsing hair while showering, but that info is just left out.
This isn't the first time this has happened and it freaks me out every single time. But I read this comment and your quote AS SOON AS HE WAS SAYING IT.
True, when I consume much sugar, I get both acne and dandruff. My hair has been much healthier without shampoo though, so I'm not going to use it again.
@@WilliamGrayIV I, too, haven't used shampoo for about 3 months and it feels great. No itchiness and dryness like before. I just apply fenugreek paste on scalp twice a week and wash it and apply coconut oil . And I don't think, I am ever shampooing again.
I tried giving up shampoo for a couple of months. My hair became greesy, and started falling out. I developed bacteria and ichy, flaky scalp. It was awful. I am back, washing my hair with shampoo.
I know this has nothing to do with the video but it reminded me of a childhood memory. When I was around 14 years old, I decided during the summer one day I wasn’t going to take a shower. It was because I saw a commercial on TV about kids in West Africa not having water. So I decided I wasn’t going to take showers anymore in attempt to let people who are deprived of water have some. I actually went 27 days without taking a shower until I fell in the mud. Morale of the story is that me not taking showers doesn’t constitute to people having drinking water.
My normal limit is 3 days. I work out heavily and my job make me sweat (engineer). Trust me, more than 3 days and you will notice when I'm passing thought the corridors lol But your effort to give people water by saving it was really cute, congrats for having such a warm heart!
@@Cholata123 I'm 14 years old and I struggle to take showers these days as I lack motivation and my mum doesn't notice so it could be the same case for them ??? Idk plus their parents might have thought they were old enough to watch when they shower yknow
@@valen-ft1hz She might just be giving you some space if she thinks you're feeling down. Maybe some nice smelling bubbles and a (I call them showerpoofs) a nice scrubby thing would make it feel like a relaxing activity rather than a chore. Self-care is important, a nice thing to do for yourself even if you feel down.
I lived on the street for some time and washing wasn't that high of a priority to me. I would fill up a bottle of water and wash with a clothpiece and soap once a week but sometimes i forgot to buy the water or had other things going on and i discovered then after i guess 2 weeks that you can go from no, maybe the slightest noticable smell to the stink of a crazy bum person who has been shitting his pants for the last 5 years in one night of sleep. (i didn't shit myself, it was just an accumulation of unwashed body bacteria) Was a very shameful walk trough the city to get that bottle of water. I also learned that you can use alcohol as all around smell neutralizer so later i always had a vodka ready.
I use natural, extra virgin coconut oil treatment once a week. And for that, I need to wash it off with shampoo. I use mild, moisturizing shampoo. Once a week only. Other days, just washing with warm, relaxing water is enough. My hair is naturally coarse, curly, and dry. This is my own method… and so far it is the best method I developed for myself. Shampoo by it self really dries my hair, no matter how mild and moisturizing it is. Must use coconut oil before shampooing. I put coconut oil for 2-6 hours or overnight before washing
I learnt about this hair oil cycle you talk about when Iwas studying advertising. Our lecturer broke the truth to us, and he said "thats the power of advertising, it makes you believe that only shampoo will make you beautiful and happy. The core message of advertising is to convince the audience that your life will only be complete by having this product"
aaand that's why I had to leave my career as a copywriter. I just could no longer bear the guilt of deceiving people into buying useless, pricy products and make them feel bad for not having them. I make way less money now, but my only regret is that it took me so long to drop out of the industry.

If you look at the Asian community and the Mediterranean, what they eat plays a role in anti aging. I know the Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese love their soups and many of their soups are made from animal bones which contains collagen and other properties that helps with anti aging.
Older woman here. You are right, all this came from advertising. I have never washed my hair more than once a week and never bought into the every day idea. I had an uncle who never washed (=shampooed) his hair and it was gorgeous his whole life. Whenever someone complains about their having greasy hair, my suggestion is always to stop washing it so much.
people seem to have a problem seeing problems as a reaction to something THEY are doing.. like if it were that simple.. they would tell us.. they wouldn't lie to us.. yeah.. therein the problem methink.. having to make thinky is scary stuff if it means they stray from the safe path of understanding how the world works.. if it's true you can just not wash as much.. that means.. they lied.. and what else are they lying about... nope.. it's easier just to block you. hehe
I once saw a manager of a factory that makes shampoo. They made like 100 different shampoos for different countries for one of the major brands. He said all shampoo is the same. Internally, they refer to a few chemicals to make soap, oils, salts, and everything else is called "marketing ingredients". He also said that no shampoo in existence changes your hair. Any effect you might perceive is simply residual shampoo that lingers in your hair for a while. The repairing, added volume, curls, etc... they're all lies.
@@thebaldpizzaman6319 exactly. I don't recall any shampoo commercials that say the claims they make about their products are clinically proven. Those 'surveys' they quote that say '87% of people that used our product noticed visible results in X number of days' are highly suspect. Marketers are very, very clever at staying just within the bounds of the regulations for the claims they make. Shampoo 'science' is about as real as homeopathy.
I worked in an a big multinational and was responsible for hair care category. It is 100% truth. We would add something like 100g of some “wonder” ingredient per 1 tonne of shampoo to be able to put on the label : shampoo with x which is known for its magic properties etc. and then spend millions of dollars to advertise it. It’s a complete bullshit.
In college there was a girl with the most beautiful, long, red hair that always looked really cool. I was shocked when I found out she hadn't used shampoo in years
I used to always buy a shampoo which protects from dandruff as it was claimed on the bottles. But i never worked for me. Only when i started to use Vichy (green) it helped me. I've been using it for 4 years so far.
I stopped using shampoo everyday a few years back after this friend of mine with gorgeous hair told me she washed hers once a week. I still use it on occasion if my hair is disgusting (so I’m not a total abolitionist) but my hair definitely looks and feels best on days I don’t shampoo
yeah, but it also depends on where you live, if you live in tropical country like me, it's nearly impossible to get rid of shampoo as your hair is easier to get dirty. I have some houses near beach and in a highlands, when I stay in my house near beach I need to wash my hair with sampoo at leats once per two days, but If I stay in my house in highlands, I have not to worry about the dirt in my hair even If I just wash it once a week.
@@ahyarhartanto1802 i agree! I have friends near the sea and they tell me they're jealous of how I can wash my hair only once a week, since their hair gets dirty and greasy way too often (i live in middle europe)
I am a guy and I use shampoo only once a month when I go for a cut. Rest days I dont do it unless I walked in some dust storm etc. Interestingly, I started doing this only after High school after hearing about this shampoo trap from my Eng teacher who never used it since 20 yrs or so! and his hair was as good as mine! Before this I used to suffer from severe dandruff , hair loss and itching. But after limiting it to once a month now I am the only person in the family who havent't suffered from dandruff since a decade. Although one imp thing I have found out is this that no shampoo is suitable only if you workout daily , bcos the sweat helps in oiling your hair. So if you don't use shampoo/ conditioner nor workout , then your hair will not get oiled well and will become like dry grass!
I wash mine every 1/2 weeks. Sometimes 3 and my hair is so thick and long and I get compliments all the time! Hardly have dandruff but yet when I tell people how 'often' I wash my hair... They can't handle it... Tbh I feel bad that they have to wash theirs so often 🤣🤣

Quick update: Shortly after watching this video, I gave up using shampoo. That was about 16 months ago or so. I have to report that my scalp and hair are better than ever. No dry scalp/dandruff. No "greasy" hair. Everything talked about in this video is true it would seem. Most importantly, it seems I have less grey hair than before (for context, I am in my mid 50s). So I can say without hesitation that shampoo is a farce. Just wash your hair regularly as usual, but just use water. I saved enough that I recently bought a new car. (Just kidding. That's what I do tell people though, just to see the look on their faces. (But I did but a new car 😂)

I use a special medical shampoo twice a week now and thats it. Hair has never been better.
Just curious, did your mom say anything about washing the hair just using water everyday or do that too sparingly?
I only wash my hair with shampoo if my head gets smelly, or dirty. that's roughly once every two or three months.

@@bmo3778 idk about all that lol should be washing your hair once a week no?
I'll go ahead & throw my experience out there. I used Head & Shoulders, not because I had dandruff, I just liked what it did to my hair. After 35 years of that, I suddenly started getting sores on my scalp. I now wash my hair (with a mild, normal shampoo) only every 2-3 days. Scalp feels so much better now, & while a little greasy at first, it quickly became much less bad. But we all have a different biochemistry, so results will vary

I haven't shampooed my hair in years either. I still wash it every day, but only with warm water. And it's totally fine. No dandruff, no itching and it feels really smooth and clean. I think I started at the beginning of the pandemic when I had to stay at home and how I looked didn't matter much. But there wasn't even any transition period where my hair and skin had to get used to it. It just has been fine from day one.
Is your hair naturally dry? Mine is oily, if I wash with water only it gets greasy
@@gonssavm4048 Mine gets oily too. If I even skip washing for 1 day, I notice it. That was the way with shampoo too. Washing with water only, I noticed no change at all how my hair feels and behaves.
As a hairstylist I can definitely testify that it really depends on the individual. Good job, dude. Sulfates suck.
Lol, no.
As someone for whom sulfate-free shampoos mostly don't do the trock and leave the hair hanging like a mop, no, they don't suck. The key is trial and error in realising how often you need to wash your hair, how much shampoo you need for it and what shampoos work for you, although the last part is usually the problem.
Yeah, the longest my hair could last without being washed is a day. My hair gets super oily really fast😂
@@frozenburrit053 note that he was also putting pomade in his hair; if someone doesn't even need to use a conditioner because their hair is healthy on its own, and just uses a shampoo, and has long hair where the oily roots look a bit... obvious, then no shampoo won't work for them - or at least, it won't make them look acceptable for today's looks standards (while his hair do look styled and modern), because while such short hair can look so shiny and, well, oily without looking gross (when they are styled, and everyone assumes it's this expensive styling product), long hair with oily roots look "unclean" and is harder to put in various styles (possibly easier to put in other styles, too). It also looks darker. So I don't think this trick would work.
@@frozenburrit053 the more you wash your hair the fastest it gest greasy, that's a vicious cycle

This isn't an attack on him even though it probably comes out that way, but i'm just trying to say that Companies are gonna advertise... just because it's a garbage product that they make doesn't mean Big Shampoo is out to brainwash the general populace to spend more on something they "don't need". Just do your research and figure out what's best for you instead of mindlessly buying products and feeling bitter over it. That's all

Due to my anxiety, I tend to play with my hair and run my fingers through it constantly. Last year I decided to get rid of all my brushes since I already detangle my hair with my fingers. I only wash my hair twice a month. My hair has never been more stronger and healthier. Now I’m working on my body, and have lost 50lbs.
I have curly hair that does not tangle so i don't comb or brush it ever, in fact i don't think i even own them.

I subscribed in part because of this video. And speaking of this video, you know...turns out I'm one of those people that yes, am doing much better without shampoo. My wife and I mainly buy locally sourced, handmade, excellent soaps. We are quite hygienic. It didn't work with my wife, but it sure has with me. I use these great soaps for both body & head now. MUCH less itchy scalp, not even noticing any dandruff, flakies. I have been enjoying your content since, checking stuff out, learning, challenging, etc. Great work. 🙂
doesn’t soap remove oil even harder than most shampoos? how often do you use soap to wash hair and scalp?

I tried the “no-poo” for a month or so. It’s true the oils will level out and I didn’t get any smell complaints. I think I went back when my wife said it was gross not shampooing. 3 years ago she became my ex-wife, so maybe it’s time to try the no-poo again.

Awesome. I was wondering about the smell. Sometimes it gets warm and I get sweaty, so I rinse my hair with water in case I stink. LOL, I hope that gets rid of the sweaty smell.
if you eat natural unprocessed organically grown foods you won’t smell bad. bad bacteria grows due to the consumption of too much sugar from processed foods. your body needs sugar for energy but fruit based sugars, fructose opposed to sucrose is ideal. it’s important to have the right bacteria in your stomach eating foods like organic yogurt & organic sauerkraut (probiotics) green bananas (prebiotics) same thing w your skin, as it has a biome as well that needs to stay balanced.

I had very oily hair for a long time, leading me to shampoo them daily. But at the end of the day it was oily again. After researching a bit, I started experimenting with doing it less. After a while I forgot to do it for over two months and I was totally fine while having an consistent look. Now I only wash them with water, except when I get a haircut every six weeks. Some of my friends also started shampooing their hair less and are happier with how they feel and look!

As a woman, I sort of agree to this. I DON'T totally not use shampoo. I learned from a doctor that washing your hair too much or less is a lie, you should only wash your hair when you feel that there's too much oil or grease in your hair. That's why I only shampoo once every week.
same but i had to do it twice or only once the hair gets really clumped together, its like a mini dreadlock 💀
i feel like this is the intuitive way to clean yourself👍 do it when your body tells you!
spent 30 seconds trying to understand what "don't totally not" means :p
Bruhh i got this weird inheritance from my father where he's hair and mine is so oily even though it's not that long and when i get to shower i literally shampoo my hair twice everyday because the first try doesn't bubble bc of the grease it produces LMAO and it is costy af.
America could possibly invade my hair there is too much oil on it.
So I'm a hairdresser - in you are kinda right, but not 100%. Shampoos with Sodium Lauryl sulphates (SLS) will strip out the natural oils, as it is basically a detergent. Yes it causes your scalp to become dry .... because it has stripped your natural oils. Your sebaceous glands become dehydrated and to deal with it - produce more oils. So that creates a cycle which isn't healthy for your scalp or hair. I wash my hair every 7 to 10 days ... I use a shampoo, but without the SLS stuff, and recommend it to my customers because it also will not strip out the colour they have paid me to apply ! Conditioners - well a shampoo will open up the outer layer of your hair, and a conditioner closes it back, but with longer hair, it also helps add oils that may be missing, due to the hairs age - and what we do to it. Not all contain silicones - and they are bad for it. The 3 companies you mentioned - yup they have marketed to people and produced an empire from it ... which is based on things that are not fundamentally always the case for people.
Toothpaste - you don't NEED it, to get your teeth clean, you just need to apply friction - to remove any build up matter - that can be with a toothbrush or those dental sticks etc Toothpaste just makes the experience taste nicer. (I also have 12 years of medical experience, which included some dentistry)
Good video - I enjoyed it. I personally can't get away without using a shampoo due to a form of dandruff (there are many types), but I do encourage all my customers to wash their hair less often ! It hurts my shampoo sales, but over all - makes for better healthier hair, with colours that last longer (which also costs me money lol)
Thanks a lot! Would you mind sharing the brands you trust more than others?
the fact that you put the health of your clients over the money you could make out of it really talks good about you. Really interesting comment btw, very informative!
Agree with every word you said
Ok but say I exercise and sweat and my head stinks, do I just need to rub with water and I'm good ?
Good guy amber. Arigato.
When we were children, shampoo had not yet arrived in India. Twice a week we had to oil our hair and then wash it off using chickpea flour or soapnut powder. When a senior relative was gifted shampoo from the US, she would use it to wash the table or other things in the house, saying she was not sure what it would end up doing. We yearned to use some of it as shampoo. Perhaps i will now go back to coconut oil and chickpea flour

Same here. Haven’t washed my hair in a very long time. It got rid of my dandruff completely, literally never itches and my hair looks the best it’s ever been. Crazy.
with water do you put water in scalp when u bath? please do reply?
How do you wash your hair? I mean when you shower do you put anything? Like soap or nothing at all?
Are you bald?
This idea isn't new. A lot of very, very high end stylists say, "Don't use shampoo, unless your need to wash something (ie, hair product) out of your hair." I wash my hair a few times a year, usually only if it has like chlorine in it or something. If you have long hair, wash the ends, not your scalp, and comb your hair after washing to distribute the oils your scalp makes naturally.
Soap isn't your skin's friend in general. For your groin, or underarms, yes. Anywhere where bacterial growth, signified by odor, is a thing, yes. Otherwise, no. Soap should be used sparingly, and *never* on your face. Fundamentally, skincare is about PH. If your skin is dry or oily it's overcompensating. When in doubt, let it do it's own thing for awhile and then decide what it needs. Moisturizer with SPF, and a decent cleanser are really all most people need. (Not counting specialty products for wrinkles, pore refining, color correcting, whatever.)
Same bro.
So this is why your hair is always so fresh.

It looks greasy and like it wouldn't feel good to touch.
Oh hi there i think i remember seeing you

Haven't washed my head in a month, felt alright. Watching the commercials on this video made my head start itching. They are really good at their ads.
i did it (or better say not) for one to two weeks, or cycle of wash. I hate about it that after 5 days of so it feels dirty and every touching is full of fat (§and oil) what i have to, cause i use a hair gum. I have to wash it 2 times then for feeling it clean and to get rid of this fat !?! it's discusting and . . . guess what ? -dirty- / may it's a dirty hair - dirty bussiness 'thing(?)

musty
@@urkent4463 You still have to wash and rinse it with water. Just don't use shampoo.
I just shampooed my hair this morning and the commercials still made my scalp itch.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have recently stopped washing my hair as much because I noticed some hair loss and itching. It's interesting to say that washing it less or not at all has reduced the itching significantly. I know there were times when I washed my hair everyday that I developed dandruff. So there is definitely some science involved in the experiment. Washing your hair and skin too much is definitely not good. On the issue of hand washing... You strip your skin of natural oils and they become dry and itchy. You are definitely on to something and there is definitely a lot of psychological issues involved in the marketing of many products. Again, thanks for your honesty and sharing your experiences.
After washing my hair with just water, what's the best way to dry it? Should I sit in the sun, use a towel to pat it dry, or is there another method? (I'm a 19-year-old boy from South Asia). Also, I've noticed my hair feels sticky if I don't use shampoo at least once a week.
as a kid i used to mix every shampoo in the shower like some kind of wizard.
I also combine the shampoo and the soap to wash my body idk it feels better than just soap itself.

@@natyqueen - just remember that the ‘cold turkey’ approach isnt for everyone... i wash once a week, and that took me a while to work up too..
The ‘no poo’ movement works because of friktion - people use ‘thinner’ conditioners to use in their Hair while scrubbing, because of the slip it creates...
The biggest thing to remember is that to clean Hair without shampoo needs more time... because you use only your fingers and water to lift and remove exces oils....
Oh and be carefull with too hot water, that is also a reason for dryness....
I actually stopped washing my hair a year ago and its unbelievable how much more clean and soft it is. It never gets oily. I can't believe someone else has done the same.
You’re not alone. Not only have I stopped washing my hair, I only use soap on the parts of my body where skin touches skin and allows for sweat to collect. Except, of course, for my hands since the pandemic started.
@@justinwatson1510 The same here!
Good for you. Whenever I stop washing my hair for more than two days, my scalp becomes itchy and eventually the portions of the skin on my head start turning red form scratching it. It's really annoying...
@@markovitorovic That’s because your hair is used to being damaged with shampoo. Give it some time to adjust, wash with cold water as hot water dries it out by stripping natural oils out from your hair and making it itchy.
does your head stink? after not shampooing for a long time?
I had acne all over my body for years. I hit a rough patch finacially, and literally could not afford shampoo and stuff like that. I got a free hairtrimmer from a friend and just went with the buzzcut diy job, and my gf would do the neck area for me. I havent used soap and shampoo to shower in over 10 years now. I never have to use deodorant, no giant sweat patches anymore, no itches, no flaky skin, no acne, nothing. And yes, i have asked people close to me, and no, i do not smell at all. Im dutch and the dutch are really honest, and if you smell, they will tell you straight up infront of everyone, and not in a nice easy way.
(i work construction, so sometimes i just have to out of health concerns, grease, oil, crawl spaces, feces from leaking sewerlines etc. But thats maybe 3 or 4 times a year max i get really dirty that plain water cant fix.)
So basically when you showering it's only by water flow alone?
It's a bit different for me. I live in an extremely humid place and have an extremely sweaty body (I sweat like hell by doing nothing lol) and I smell like shit within 5 hours. But yeah, I never shampoo my hair, I just run water through my hair, but they stink like hell after like 2-3 weeks, so I just shampoo once a month to get rid of the stink and shizz. I just use a bar of soap and some deodorant (because I smell when I sweat) and call it a day.
I also quit shampooing my hair for the exact same reason. I have naturally oily hair and when i shampoo i got itchy and dry scalp. When i quit washing my hair it all stopped
but wouldn't that make your hair greasy
Same! My hair is also naturally oil but shampoo made it brittle dry with flaky scalp, even the shampoos for dry scalp. I've also found my hair has had significantly fallout since I stopped shampoo. It took about 4 weeks to get it into a rhythm but since washing with just water it's been amazing.

A lot of people do that. I hear about people with longer or medium hair, wash their hair like once a week. In the winter I wash mine probably every 7 days, in the summer it’s probably every 3-4 depending if I’m working out or more active. My hair is pretty thick and I get it thinned out. When I was a teenager I tried doing the natural way of washing of my hair and well, it did not work out. I ended up with actual dandruff and then actually caught a case of lice from another girl that never washed her hair.

Here in Italy, I’ve asked from hair salons to doctors and most of them said that if you wash your hair more than 3 days a week you’re overdoing and probably ruining your hair.
Even commercials say “don’t use it everyday “.
True. Same in India. People maybe shampoo 4-5 times a month. Though coconut oil is very popular in India and people have been putting them in their hair almost regularly since centuries. Parachute coconut oil is the go to oil for Indians.

As a product formulator, did you know that a body wash has practically the same formula for shampoo minus some hair conditioning ingredients which can be resolved with a conditioner on the hair anyways. Brands have to find ways to get people to buy their products much like how 'natural' brands these days use fear of chemicals.
Same ingredients or not, lets say you use x amount of shampoo and 2x amount of body wash it would still be 3x of body wash if its the same stuff, youre not really losing out on buying both unless theres a noticeable price difference
Explains why I don’t feel guilty when I use shampoo to wash my body in general when there’s no liquid body wash
just use bar soap. body wash is just you paying for water in your soap.
@J Q You can use bar soap if you find it preferable or more affordable, but for me I find liquid washes tend to go further than bar soap, so it ends up costing less. The composition of liquid “soap” and bar soap are different as well; you couldn’t get the same product by dissolving bar soap in water.
I like bar soap a lot better so I may actually start using that as 'shampoo'! I have too many dumb minor allergies, and for some reason liquid soaps set them off far worse than bars, so this will be handy :)
Definitely it's a lie. In fact, most personal grooming habits we take for granted now weren't practiced until the 1970's when Madison Ave. started bombarding us with ads for shampoo, soap, perfume, and shaving products and convinced us that we had to shower every single day. A few years later, when our skin was drying out from too much showering, they sold us moisturizers! You have to admit, they didn't miss a trick. Each problem caused by the previous ad campaign was solved by another until we were buying hundreds of products we didn't need and that we'd be better off without.
True things like Listerine often had other uses like floor cleaning or foot cleaning, but made millions more by shifting to mouth wash. Most people don't need to use Listerine, if you think you do, try a tongue cleaner (scraper) instead.

@@scotpens didnt you watch the video? stop using shampoo u noob
I wash my hair with shampoo maybe once a week, sometimes even less. If I wash it more often it gets more greasy. The less i wash it (with shampoo! I still use water) the less greasy it gets. Or at least it takes way longer to get really greasy. Some people think it’s weird but honestly... I’m saving money, my hair feels way healthier and I know my scalp is thanking me for it.
When I use shampoo my hair gets drier. Then adding it with conditiner, it gets worse.
Once I found out Im allergic to glycerin I found a random shampoo without it(was hard but managable!) and noticed my scalp stopped being flaky after washing at all, it also stopped producing too much oil.
My allergy isn't very obvious - my skin suffers from it but not a drastically and since basically every care product contained glycerin I thought I just had terrible skin. Turns out I don't!
Honestly, these products may contain a lot of different ingredients and it's kind of a gamble in itself if one product will work with your body or not...

are you at 7 years no shampoo now?
I haven't used shampoo for almost 20 years. I keep my hair short but it's healthy. I've been trying to get my wife to go without shampoo but she argued you need it if you have long hair. So this pandemic, I grew my hair out. I didn't like having long hair but I still never felt a need for shampoo. She still uses shampoo. Commercials work on some/most people.
so you just wash with water everyday?
I thinking about ditching shampoo too since my hair gets oily quite quick and sometimes itchy.
Do you just wash your hair with water or do you use water and conditioner?
Of course you don't need shampoo.. the issue is you also you don't need shoes deodorant or a cellphone.
My Mom has been a Hairdresser for over 4 decades. Commercials have never played a part in my or much of my family’s feelings regarding shampoo. My Mom’s education and work on hundreds of clients, however, is absolutely something to which I take heed; in my own life, by day 4-5, my fine, oily hair is so limp, so uncomfortable, so lacking even the ability to look cute in a ponytail or a bun, and not to mention it’s retained various smells if I’ve been outside, it is a absolutely crucial that I wash my hair.
My hair looks best on day 1 and with a dry shampoo, it’s okay on day 2. I have friends with thick, coarse, wavy or curly hair, and my
fiancé has hair like that- their hair looks great for up to 5 days, with it looking best on the latter days.
I just know that I washed my hair Friday night, and it had been 3 days/72 hours. My hair looked like shit. It felt like shit. I could’nt even sleep comfy because it felt so icky. I love my hair slightly stripped of its natural oils and hot curled after a blow out. It’s the only time and only way my fine, silky, straight hair looks and feels bouncy, shiny, cute, and fluffy. I cannot imagine never shampooing again. I’d rather shave my head bald!
She should at least use a non stripping shampoo
I love the name “no poo”. Think it’s hilarious. I also think that we should refer to the shampoo industry as “big poo”

I am really POed about all the harmful chemicals in shampoos (and every other product on this planet, but whichever), and I want something that's chemical free to use to wash my hair, probably about once every week or so. I'm glad you don't have to shampoo your hair! I wish I could say the same for mine. Anyway, I'm just here to learn, so thank you for sharing!
My family & friends thought I was weird for not washing with shampoo and only water so I started using shampoo again and now my hair hasn't been curly since then. Thank you for reaffirming my belief.
It's sulfates in shampoo's that do that. There's non sulfate shampoo's.
Yeah I also struggled with my curls. At first I thought it was cheap shampoo. Then over shampooing/conditioning. I’m currently one week shampoo free and they are bouncing back!
@@jadarideleon2855 yeah I thought as much
I'm curious as to how you manage to clean your hair with just simple water. While I'm aware of its cleansing properties, I doubt its overall effectiveness in cases involving prolonged sweating or worse.
Ok so did he ever say what he does with his hair? Does he do water only washing, oil rinsing, what does he do? I must've missed it?
Plot twist: the tea tree oil was extremely effective and is still keeping his head clean
I went to a rural village once a beautiful girl with hair like that of adds they show in pantene or tresseme washed her hair with soap once or twice a week.
I have stoped using shampoo. Got rid of acne by a lot. Think 🤔 🧐 ppl
U know this but the creater brings these things to our minds more dilligiently.
Tea Tree oil has estrogen-like compounds which have been shown to cause gynomastia (breast growth) in some teen males.

I was taught this as a kid by my Native American grandpa. The more I grow up the more I realize how smart he is despite only have a grade 3 education.
He was smarter than 90% of those that graduated.
@@maggiemae7539
Maybe on one specific topic
@@eruno_ No he taught me about climate change and about the balance of ecology too. So I was surprised that many didn’t know this when Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” released in 2001.
He taught me early on to question my assumptions about everything. Everyone assumes the Earth’s climate has always been this stable but it hasn’t. We had a rare 10,000 year period of stable climate that gave birth to new inventions like farming. With more food produced, more members of the civilizations could focus on education and furthering the species bit by bit.
He taught me that the Earth is delicate and beautifully balanced and how we’re tipping that balance just by telling me to question my assumptions.
So I apply this same “question my assumption” analogy with marketing, life and pretty much everything 😂
After awhile, it becomes intuitive and it’s probably why I’m invested into crypto 🪄 #BanksAreZeros.

Crypto is an elaborate scam, that is insanely harmful to environment. But ok.
Native Americans actually have different hair from people of predominantly European descent. If I recall their hair is similar to that of East Asians. Most women I've known who are of European ancestry actually don't wash their hair every day, usually once or three times a week since European hair is actually pretty fragile. There's a couple with a TH-cam channel called "Rachel & Jun", the husband is Japanese and his wife is a ginger American. Gingers have very fragile hair and they actually mentioned that he was a bit freaked out that she didn't wash her hair every day. If she did, however, it would become brittle and start to break (she's got very long hair). Japanese people have much stronger hair, probably due to it being more oily or something, I dunno the science. In the same video a bunch of black women said in the comment section that their hair was even more fragile and they had to be very careful about it if it was long.
Different requirements for different folks. My ancestry is just typical American bastard, pretty much everything in there, but my mom always told me that the reason I'd probably never lose my hair was because of my Native American great, great grandmother. I dunno, I'm 51 with a full head of annoyingly thick, but blond, hair.
Ive used hemp soap and that worked great for cleaning out dirt and leaving the most of the oils in your hair. I am now using the most basic soap bar I have and that works good as well. They work fine and last a lot longer and are much cheaper if you want to still wash your hair on a regular basis
🥶🥶🥶
Totally agree! I haven’t used shampoo in about 2 years. My advice is to use it less and less over time so your hair gets used the change. Having studied design and marketing I came to find out that the strategy of creating a imaginary problem just to be offering the solution is the base of existence for many industries..
So u guys just wash with water?
Reply to the first dude so I'd know too.
@@cutewhitedragon of course. I stopped using shampoo like 10 years ago. But that doesn't mean I don't wash my hair. I wash it according to my activity and weather. Always when I sweat. Otherwise every other day. My hair feels great.
Also, stop using shower gel (or at least minimize it's use), your skin will thank you.
But that's me, maybe it won't work for you, you will have to test it out.

Nothing. only water.
seriously if he uses only water im guessing his hair is stinky then
The most interesting part was missing... What's the point of this video?
Legit use shampoo like once a month for past decade. Hair is never greasy or anything. Feels good. Feels like saving money.
Same here, haven't used shampoo in over 8 years with the exception for post hair dye treatment. Best decision I ever made,
Totally, after a week it start to be itchy, but those natural oils starts to cure itchiness after short time.
Let me guess you play video games

@@OfficerK7 my hair isn't greasy.
I havent used toothpaste for more then 2 years. My routine is pulling oil through my teeth for about 20 minutes and brush without paste ONLY in the morning BEFORE eating. Also I ate some cod oil. Some small cavities closed and tooth pain that would come up every 1-2 years which would lead to me going to a dentist, stoped too. Maybe I should stop using shampoo too... I just didnt really think about it. Not sure if watching a few vids is a good reason to do something, but it feels instinctive.
Thanks for the vid mate.
Wow cool. I gave up shampoo, soap, showergels, lotions and creams already, now thinking to ditch the toothpaste!
Look up a functional dentist and oral microbiome, it'll give you good insight on why what you did helped. Also check dr james hamblin because he has latest research on what this videos talking about so there's scientific proof about what he's talking about.
Iv been preaching this for years to my family and friends and people just look at me like I must be crazy etc . So I’m not the only crazy one out there . Thnx man .
But are you putting product in your hair? This guy clearly does. So do you just rinse it with water. Like this guy in the video presented this horribly
@@mikekumar9308 Have you tried not shampooing? In my experience, by not stripping away the natural oils I can easily style my hair without product and it even looks like I am using product. So, "This guy clearly does" is a bit of an ignorant statement. I wish he addressed it in the video, but for me, and I think for most people that stop shampooing, it's not just about shampoo, it's about all hair products.
Look at the cycle he presents: shampoo, condition, add product, feel greasy, repeat. When you stop shampooing, you stop conditioning, adding product, and feeling greasy - it's about breaking the cycle.
@@Ethan-tn4jc I just had a shower and decided to not shampoo. My hair naturally like to go in my face and is annoying, so I have to use shit to push my hair back.
He mentions like three weeks it took, for his natural oils. I won't be able to make 3 weeks without putting product in my hair. So is that gonna ruin the process? Using product while not shampooing until my hair gets this supposed oilyness in a few weeks???
@@mikekumar9308 I wish I had the expertise to advise you here, but all I can say is that for me the transition off of shampoo took less than two weeks and I totally sympathize with the anxiety that comes from having thin messy greasy looking hair - you just have to get through it.
For ambitious hairstyles, I think product is unavoidable and I have no idea how to work that into this "organic" approach to scalp maintenance.
This is all I know and it works for me.
@@mikekumar9308 most shampoos contain sulfates and parabens which dry out my curly hair to the point where I have to use unsustainable high amounts of conditioner to offset that effect . Now , you can get products without those two things but shampoo still leaves my hair feeling off and weird . I use products but not daily and My hair doesn’t get greasy quickly but I found that apple cider vinegar mixed with water rinses /cleanses my scalp . Other alternatives to cleaning your scalp / balancing the ph is shikakai (Acacia concinna) or neem powder to rinse prior to the conditioner process . Not every day but like every fourth day depending on how much you sweat etc daily . It’s a lil messy with powder but all in all these things work way better for me than most of the shampoos I have tried so far and I’ve been a product junkie for a minute . I use a lot of oils in my hair mixed with leave in conditioners so when my hair needs a “reset “ , I proceed with one of the three things mentioned . It’s one thing to rid your hair of product build up and to ensure a clean/balanced ph scalp but it’s another thing to strip your hair of all its natural oils for then to overdose it on conditioner to get “moisture” or the protecting barrier back. It’s just ensures this weird cycle that he describes in the video .
Growing up I shampood my hair everyday because I was taught that that's just what humans in the first world do. My hair would always be overly dry or overly oily as a result. In my later teens I started experimenting with shampoo'ing much less frequently, like every 4-6 days. Within a couple weeks my scalp adjusted oil production and my hair seemed to be in better condition than when I was shampooing every day. Now, I do it even less than that. I just shampoo when it actually feels dirty, which is once or twice a month on average, and the quality of my hair is better now at age 39 than it was in my teens and twenties.
Only once or twice per month? O_O My hair gets the dirtt feeling on like 3rd day
@@permin9533 it could be that you do need to wash more frequently, or you might just need to give your hair and scalp oil production more time to adjust to a new regimen. Also, I do wash my hair lightly with just water more frequently than that to get dirt and debris and salt out if I've been outside a lot, or been working out a lot.
@@Mechaneer Hey , I've also noticed that my hair becomes more healthy/ looks better after almost a week of no shampooing. The first two days it's just plain dry and fluffy like It's out of 80's or something lol. After the third day , it starts regaining its natural oils and looks shinier ( but NOT greasy ) / stronger . The best I can do is one week , mainly because I want it to smell like shampoo , as I'm very insecure about someone sniffing my hair all of a sudden ( yes , some people around me do it out if nowhere ) . I think as long as we're clean and don't omit any smells , people should have the freedom to groom themselves as they see fit , without judgement/ criticism from their peers. The biggest issue is the media and how it portrays those who don't fit the norm, some people are just like sheep, follow whatever they are told without asking any questions. Hope your hair is going well XD
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing!
So guys, i am willing to try this, but i need to get sure of one thing... The days I am not shampooing it, i still gotta wash it with water, right?
As a black woman with very curly hair, I have a very different experience with hair washing schedules. All of my hairdressers have always advised me never to wash my hair more than once a week due to the visible fact that my hair genuinely does not produce a lot of oil or grease. My hair is always dry, even after I add leave-in oil-based hair products. Despite being accustomed to only washing my hair once a week I have often questioned the role of shampoo and what its purpose really is. This video really helped me understand some of the history and politics of shampoo. While I am definitely very excited to see how my scalp and hair would feel without shampoo, I do think that conditioner is very helpful and useful for my hair type and I probably will keep using it in my hair care routine.
What I use as a secondary oil if I need it, or want to put some shine back in my hair, I make up a mixture of baby oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and some fragrance oil extract. The baby oil is really to help keep everything mixed together and keep it flowing even when it's cool in the house. Just do a squirt (i put the oils in a repurposed hand soap dispenser), rub hands together, and rub through hair.
Gives you a nice sheen, coconut and olive oils are good for your scalp and hair, and the fragrance is like a free body scent that'll last hours if not all day easy. I've used clove oil once and that stayed in my hair for days, even making my pillows smell like cloves.
Granted, this works for me, and may not for you. I don't have that kind of hair (white guy here) but maybe something you could try out. The oils are cheap so you wouldn't loose much, and you can cook with the olive/coconut oils of what you don't use ;)
If your hair is tightly curled, then the oil from your scalp will not coat the entire strand of hair. As a result, it will tend to be dry.
Start with this about 20 years ago!!!
My Barber is still amazed by the effects!
My hair literally grew back and is better then ever now!!

Only Johnny can make a video on shampoo and make you feel you’re watching a video on a war.
It is a psychological war
At 6:54, the "read a kinda obnoxious business book", why is it obnoxious? I read the same book, (I think?) which also talks about febreze and other techniques, it presented very useful ideas about what marketing psychology does, and I learned how to de-couple those stages. The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg. Love this video. Honestly it's giving me the same value/benefit as the book; I'd give this vid 10 likes if I could. But, one and a comment.
You should do a video describing how you have been taking care of you hair for the past 5 years
Right???
Just water, probably. ive been doing that for the past 1.5 years & my hair is fine honestly.
I agree. The big thing left out here is that not using shampoo is one thing. Not washing your body occasionally is another. As an example, thru hikers experience this. Just like not using products to wash your hair, you also won't experience any health problems from not washing your body. However, you will smell different than 99% of modern society, so it is seen as more extreme. I'm assuming this video is really about rinsing hair while showering, but that info is just left out.
@@adaycj I am a little confused. I can't imagine not washing my hair at all. I hope he means, use water only.

It’s not just shampoo’s fault alone. There are other negative factors contributing to unhealthy hair; bad diet, bad sleep pattern, sedentary life.
True, when I consume much sugar, I get both acne and dandruff. My hair has been much healthier without shampoo though, so I'm not going to use it again.
True. Plus most of the time you get dandruff it's because of not washing your hair from using wax or pomade.
@@WilliamGrayIV I, too, haven't used shampoo for about 3 months and it feels great. No itchiness and dryness like before. I just apply fenugreek paste on scalp twice a week and wash it and apply coconut oil . And I don't think, I am ever shampooing again.

I know this has nothing to do with the video but it reminded me of a childhood memory. When I was around 14 years old, I decided during the summer one day I wasn’t going to take a shower. It was because I saw a commercial on TV about kids in West Africa not having water. So I decided I wasn’t going to take showers anymore in attempt to let people who are deprived of water have some. I actually went 27 days without taking a shower until I fell in the mud. Morale of the story is that me not taking showers doesn’t constitute to people having drinking water.
My normal limit is 3 days. I work out heavily and my job make me sweat (engineer).

My guess you still did poop on clean water everyday, more than once...
I lived on the street for some time and washing wasn't that high of a priority to me. I would fill up a bottle of water and wash with a clothpiece and soap once a week but sometimes i forgot to buy the water or had other things going on and i discovered then after i guess 2 weeks that you can go from no, maybe the slightest noticable smell to the stink of a crazy bum person who has been shitting his pants for the last 5 years in one night of sleep. (i didn't shit myself, it was just an accumulation of unwashed body bacteria)
Was a very shameful walk trough the city to get that bottle of water.
I also learned that you can use alcohol as all around smell neutralizer so later i always had a vodka ready.

The biggest take away that I got from this is to be skeptical of social pressures.
I once saw a manager of a factory that makes shampoo. They made like 100 different shampoos for different countries for one of the major brands. He said all shampoo is the same. Internally, they refer to a few chemicals to make soap, oils, salts, and everything else is called "marketing ingredients". He also said that no shampoo in existence changes your hair. Any effect you might perceive is simply residual shampoo that lingers in your hair for a while. The repairing, added volume, curls, etc... they're all lies.
Proof?
@@thebaldpizzaman6319 exactly. I don't recall any shampoo commercials that say the claims they make about their products are clinically proven. Those 'surveys' they quote that say '87% of people that used our product noticed visible results in X number of days' are highly suspect. Marketers are very, very clever at staying just within the bounds of the regulations for the claims they make. Shampoo 'science' is about as real as homeopathy.
Thanks for telling!
well shampoo is just soap basically right to clean the hair. so i dont see how something like soap can make any other effect than cleaning
I worked in an a big multinational and was responsible for hair care category. It is 100% truth.

In college there was a girl with the most beautiful, long, red hair that always looked really cool. I was shocked when I found out she hadn't used shampoo in years
Red hair has fewer follicles and strands of hair, so probably doesn't produce as much oil.

But after limiting it to once a month now I am the only person in the family who havent't suffered from dandruff since a decade.
Although one imp thing I have found out is this that no shampoo is suitable only if you workout daily , bcos the sweat helps in oiling your hair.
So if you don't use shampoo/ conditioner nor workout , then your hair will not get oiled well and will become like dry grass!
