I have been using the No poo method for more than a year now and my hair is shiny, healthy and manageable. The reasons why i picked this method for my hair because i want to avoid the toxicity of conventional shampoos. Do you know that most of the store-brought shampoos contain alcohol, silicone, toxic ingredients and some might be carcinogenic. That alcohol dries out your hair, causing you to produce more oils. Which is why you have to wash your hair more often. Which is why your hair will get very greasy while you transition. No poo does not dry out your hair.
Basically, washing your hair without any shampoo can call "No poo method". Most people practice this method by using handmade shampoo bar (All-natural ingredients), Baking soda, and clay...etc.
For now, i only use Shampoo bar to wash my hair which i make it my own. When i wash my hair , i use the shampoo bar work from the end of my hair towards the scalp. The bar leathers so well and i massage my scalp for 2-3 minutes before rinsing it. If my hair is greasy, i wash it twice. After i'm done with shampooing. I mix a small amount of AVC (Apple cider vinegar) with about a cup of water to rinse through the hair (work like a conditioner). ACV detangles the hair follicles, seals the cuticle and balances the hair's pH levels. Don't worry about your hair will smell vinegary, I DIY hair oil with some lavender and tea tree essential oil and i use it daily. (I will post a DIY Argan hair oil recipe soon). You will have to remember, there will be an adjustment period which can last a few weeks to a few months. (i gave up the no-poo method about a few weeks until i found a suitable shampoo bar.) Your hair will be reacting to the surplus in oils, due to the lack of shampoo (which are full of alcohol and toxic ingredients.) Play around you will find the best method (either Shampoo bar, Baking soda or Clay) for your hair.
Have you tried the no-poo method? Please let me know how it all works out for you.
