I went about three months last winter. It was surprisingly doable. I have long hair, so - it took a little time to make sure my head hair was sufficiently clean.
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!.. lol Your content works better for me than any other out there, my hair is similar in texture to yours. You were my inspiration to grow it beyond the #4 guard... Thanks for being you!
Nice once again so what you have shown your knowledge or skill and your ability to try new things with your beard is intriguing keep up the good work have a blessed day
Been doing what you described for years. Your natural oils are the best for you. Even better with proper diet. I shower everyday and use little soap as possible. I have a repair shop and I get filthy all the time. I basically scrub with water. And use cold water.
I'm always happy to see another beard video from you. Always something to learn, or think about, or consider. Most useful to learn how to curl my beard under with a wide-toothed comb. My beard doesn't seem to do well with brushes, and I don't care for round brushes, either. So videos of beardsmen using such brushes just didn't register with me. Your technique got my beard about half an inch shorter but looking (I think) much better. I will try your suggested routine for at least 3 days as you said. At the very least it will save quite a few minutes of beard washing. Thank you.
33 year old male here. Haven't used shampoo regularly in years. The only time I use it is after a few days of camping to get the nastiness and smoke smell out. I notice my hair feels thinner, weaker, and my scalp/hair has a faint smell to it. Otherwise my hair is thick and soft all the time.
I only wash mine once a week but i will give this a try . this is my second beard first one was two years this is one is seven months. Winter is coming so i think this will help tremendously.
If I did this thing of not using beard shampoo or soap for a month on my beard, I am very convinced with my skin type that I would get pimples under my facial hair, and maybe even some cysts, I wouldn't even try it drunk.
Looking for Rusty your original post is gone. I've been no soap or shampoo on my hair and beard for 2 weeks now and my beard looks and feels better than it ever did, I had problems with loosing beard hair and split ends and that has improved a lot. And no balms or oil nothing on the head or beard just water and shampoo brush. Thanks George for the challenge its working out well for me.
I remember kids in high school trying this, and it was disgusting. Remember "helmet head" kids? While it might work for a 40+ man, it is not advised for a hormonal sweaty teenager.
I'm just curious about smell! I went my first year (yeard) with no product, but not strictly. After I started a regimen of MCT before using a dryer brush my hair improved a lot. That said I'm interested in the final results and I know we can count on George to shoot straight.
Surprised by the comments that I'm not the only non-shampooer. For about the past 5 or 6 years it's been water only, but I will use a minimal application of shampoo probably not more than 3 times a year. Also, never had a problem with smelly hair. Texture is better with water and not poofy from shampooing.
Only used warm water to wash all over with a sponge for 2 months now , no soap, no shampoo,deo, sprays, aftershave etc. I feel all the better for it. Only use soap to wash my hands. Will probably use up the remaining shampoo to wash the dishes with. 🙂
I went no soap anywhere. Just wash my hands with it after washing my arse. Really good results. Better body odour and don't ever get a sweaty arse like I used to. Skin feels better all over. I was shampooing my hair every three days though. I'll drop that too.
Looks really good for no products. Not sure if this would work on a beard my length. I've cut way back on butter and have been using old almost exclusively during the day, liking the flow and lighter feel it gives me, while it lasts. My beard soaks up oil like a sponge, wind up looking like the wild man of Borneo within a couple hours if I skip it. I like the looks of that brush, think I'll give it a try.
I’m on my 6 month mark to a yeard, Been using this method 2 weeks now, I love how full my beard feels. Using a shampoo brush, beard is not itchy at all, It’s awesome. I’m noticing if I don’t blot dry with a towel after and just let it air dry, the hairs feel softer. Maybe it’s because of my hairs porosity. It is soft, but I’ve been told it feels like Brillo pad, and not soft like cotton as when I add oil to it. Couple questions: I have noticed the odd split ends, maybe I need to drink more water, but are some split ends normal? 2- i cannot find the 3 month update video on how the experiment for three months went, how did it go and did you stop after three months? Im going for a natural beard, my theory is, in any situation outside of our city focused, sterilized lifestyle, we wouldn’t be using any products. Thing about natural oils is I don’t need to worry if I put too much or not enough beard oil, there is always the right amount. Keep up the great videos man! Love your advice.
I went at abour a year without product. Maybe more. Only if I work on my car and get really dirty do I shampoo. I think your body adapts to not using it.
Interesting.. yeah, shampoo, strips all the natural stuff, conditioner, is supposed to 'replace what was stripped'. Makes perfect sense. But, if you are trying to lengthen your beard, wouldn't it be helpful, to add something like a rosemary infused beard oil? Just curious. Thanks 😀👍
Good Evening. I have long hair down to my collar bone and I hardly ever use shampoo and my hair feels and looks way better than it ever did. I use your Co- Washing method mostly. I must try water only next. I recently bought the Tactical Soap you've recommended used it for the first time today lets see where this goes. See you in the morning have a great night.
Hey, George, I was wondering if you could suggest a good home haircut clipper...? I have this one in mind: Wahl Clipper Elite Pro High-Performance Home Haircut & Grooming Kit for Men - Electric Hair Clipper - Model 79602
My head would itch so bad!!!!! I’ve got a bald patch in the lower center chin part of my beard and looking from below it looks like a hole it drives me insane 🤣🤣🤣
i did this for several weeks during the lockdown in around march, but honestly....i looked like shit...my hair smelled bad and looked greasy....the itchiness went away completely though.
I mean we all have ro sweat a little. Wat if I sweat because I'm cleaning house like mopping cleaning furniture etc is it ok to still just rinse it with water @Georgebruno
Im doing this too. Somethong odd happened to me recently. Had my long beard cause of a breakup and didnt ever trim the moustache...just let it handlebar out...it wasnt bad, hair stayed out of my mouth unless I ate or smiled, but the oil messed up my coffee everytime and coated my lips...I grew tired of keeping it out of my mouth...Well afterward the women at work became difficult and acted like I didnt exist 🤣 even got reprimanded cause apparently I was being "Spikey" with the managers, I had no idea. (6 out of 5 were females) including the store and district managers...I looked at her and put in my 2 weeks. I guess shaving was the last straw 🤣 case and point, women love beards waaay more than they realize. Also I get along better with women than I do with men...its strange...men either look up to me, tell dumb perverted jokes and it's annoying or they dont like me at all. It's never and I mean never a friendship. But women are nice, helpful, and I dont feel weird smiling or laughing at their jokes, I can let my guard down. I do look up to and admire the old school guys like you. Even if they are murderers...they give me space. These new schools are too suffocating and tempermental. Sorry this got long winded. Have a great day sir.
Always relaxes me to watch you George. You have a gentle and safe presence.
Imagine having a talk with him in real life.
Neat and natural is the way to go. Not only is is the easiest to maintain, it projects confidence.
I went about three months last winter. It was surprisingly doable. I have long hair, so - it took a little time to make sure my head hair was sufficiently clean.

Definitely want to try this NOW!! Lookin good Sultan!
I cant wait to get older. I want a white/grey beard. I personally think it looks better. Its like a regal look. Like a king 👑
You're in good shape Sir Sultan!
Peace from 🇸🇪💪🏻
Thanks for sharing the sweeping method to curl the beard under. I’ll definitely try that.
I’ve been doing this approach too. I have been really suprised how much better by hair and beard looks. I also shower the same too.
Started growing my beard back last week. Not long enough for the comb yet. I will try no shampoo or other products. Thanks George.
Nice once again so what you have shown your knowledge or skill and your ability to try new things with your beard is intriguing keep up the good work have a blessed day

Nice to see that you're growing your beard back.
I'm doing it for 6 months now. my hair ist so healthy and strong, its unbelievable.
33 year old male here. Haven't used shampoo regularly in years. The only time I use it is after a few days of camping to get the nastiness and smoke smell out. I notice my hair feels thinner, weaker, and my scalp/hair has a faint smell to it. Otherwise my hair is thick and soft all the time.

Looking great! If I was to go any length of time without using any oil or co-wash my beardruff goes nuts. I cant stand it!!

Great video once again, I must say your hair & beard look fantastic I'm into my 2nd week now with only water and I like it
My wife is 28 y.o. and says your handsome so you're doing something right.
I remember kids in high school trying this, and it was disgusting. Remember "helmet head" kids? While it might work for a 40+ man, it is not advised for a hormonal sweaty teenager.

My beard looks like yours, and for a year all I’ve used is neutro soup. And it looks amazing.
Surprised by the comments that I'm not the only non-shampooer. For about the past 5 or 6 years it's been water only, but I will use a minimal application of shampoo probably not more than 3 times a year. Also, never had a problem with smelly hair. Texture is better with water and not poofy from shampooing.
I think that that might be the best beard I’ve ever seen
I agree. Beards like that are few and far between.
George, You Look GREAT Naturally... And Your Saving Money Not Buying Product 🤓👍❤️
Only used warm water to wash all over with a sponge for 2 months now , no soap, no shampoo,deo, sprays, aftershave etc. I feel all the better for it. Only use soap to wash my hands. Will probably use up the remaining shampoo to wash the dishes with. 🙂
Not even beard oil? I can go a few days without washing my beard, but no beard oil, I can’t even imagine not using beard oil for a month.
Thank you. Just about to take a shower too.
As George Carlin said “I only wash the 4 major body parts, armpits, a$$hole, crotch and teeth”.
Going to give it a try
Im with you Sultan...
I could have sworn in the thumbnail George was putting on a prospect elf ear. To my relief, this has not in fact become a makeup channel ;)
I love a great beard. Mighty handsome Mister.
I wash my beard probably once a month 😌 the hair gets shampoo daily though, I just can’t deal with grease :( destroys my skin
Good stuff, going to try it! I grow mine shorter....whenever I try to grow it out, it appears patchy. I call it, Chernobyl Beard.
I went no soap anywhere. Just wash my hands with it after washing my arse. Really good results. Better body odour and don't ever get a sweaty arse like I used to. Skin feels better all over. I was shampooing my hair every three days though. I'll drop that too.
Looking good George
I quit using shampoo back when the pandemic started & I kind of like it my face/forehead doesn’t get as greasy or sweaty as it used to
Glad to see the beard coming back. Never cut it for a woman mate. Pure regret.

How did not using any product fair for you? Would it be a good idea to try this?
This doesn’t work for everyone. I tried it for a week and felt like the greasiest homeless person alive.
They say it can take anywhere from 1-6 months for your scalp and hair to adjust. Maybe give it another go for a longer time period.
I went at abour a year without product. Maybe more. Only if I work on my car and get really dirty do I shampoo. I think your body adapts to not using it.

Hey George are you cutting hair again? Would love to visit the grooming studio soon.
I'm in the " When in doubt, grow it out" phase.
santa claus is comin' to town

He’s got the Master Roshi beard

Roughing it!! All n-a-t-u-r-a-l
My head would itch so bad!!!!! I’ve got a bald patch in the lower center chin part of my beard and looking from below it looks like a hole it drives me insane 🤣🤣🤣
Whoa!!! Epic beard
i did this for several weeks during the lockdown in around march, but honestly....i looked like shit...my hair smelled bad and looked greasy....the itchiness went away completely though.
Can I do this to a footlong beard ?
I get dandruff sometimes. I wonder if this would help or hinder my problem.
How's this working out for you? Happy with the results?
I'm now going for three months
Where are the links George? Thanks
I mean we all have ro sweat a little. Wat if I sweat because I'm cleaning house like mopping cleaning furniture etc is it ok to still just rinse it with water @Georgebruno
'How Santa prepares for x-mas'
my head hair gets greasy after a day or two so I don't think this would work for me, I might try it with the beard though.
Another good one George beard maintenance information is keep it coming
Im doing this too. Somethong odd happened to me recently.

Looks great. Would this work for someone like me who has oily skin (would not washing my hair everyday decrease the oil production?).
I'm a fairly greasy dude myself. My greasiness disappeared after about ten days.
i have about 1 month doing the nopoo method and it works well and suddenly this video appears,coincidence?
Funny how the universe works sometimes...
No deodorant since 2017
Same lmao
Whats the big blue comb you're using?
Why is David Letterman doing these videos?
The old BIG ASS COMB
Does it really not smell, i drool when i sleep lol.
No co wash
George, coming from a lady... very dignified!
Thank you Lisa
@@trapperjohn8508 ......❤️
Do you recommend no product even if the beard is SUPER coarse?
