Ixnay on the ampooshay
I realize I’m going to gross a lot of people out by posting this. But: I stopped shampooing my hair about two weeks ago.
No, really. I shower every day, and condition my hair every day, too. I massage my scalp with the conditioner and rinse my hair well. But…no more shampoo. My hair is very thick and wavy, and tends toward dry; my scalp had been itchy and flaky lately, too.
What brought this on? Recently, a couple friends of mine with curly hair told me they had stopped shampooing a long time ago. Apparently it’s a thing. So, figuring I could always break out the shampoo bottle if it didn’t work, I decided to give the no ‘poo regimen (as it’s so cleverly called) a shot.
And? I kind of think it looks great. It doesn’t appear greasy at all; Chris swears it smells good. My scalp feels healthier. And I get to feel all radical, sticking it to the man by refusing to buy his shampoo.
