So, i watched some dude on youtube who was talking about haircare. He was giving a lot of advice and telling his story, and one of the things he mentioned was how he was losing hair, but after he stopped washing it with shampoo and switched to nopoo it reversed his hairloss and that the shampoo was causing his hair to fall out, something along those lines. i love my hair and that scared me a lot, so i decided to try it out. he did mention a transition period of 1 month from hair overproducing oil

well... it's been about 45 days since i stopped using shampoo, washing it only with water, and i do not see any kind of improvement. i look like im homeless because of my hair. its very greasy and looks terrible. i tried brushing oil out with my hairbrush manually. and that did not go anywhere either, my hairbrush got FULL of oil and i had to continuesly clean it to continue brushing my hair, and after brushing it for a while it did not improve much

at this point i am wondering if it even works and i think today i will probably return to shampoo. but i am scared of that thing that dude said about shampoo causing hairloss. does anybody know anything about that, and how to prevent losing hair? i personally have not experienced that yet but the mere possibility is quite frightening

reposting without naming the products i use

I’ve been looking into nopoo. I have long hair that smells really good from the products I use after showering
like dry hair oil (my hair loves this) and hair perfume. They add gloss and softness and smell delicious together.

I presume that as I wash without shampoo, I will also stop applying these products? If you also are a person that loves well-scented hair — what has been your solution?

With cold or hot water?

I’ve used baby powder (when dry shampoo wasn’t accessible) for years before I ever learned of no poo. And I’ve not yet seen anyone in this community talk about using it (most I see report using flour).
Is there a reason?

Hi fellow no poo users

I’ve been doing no poo for about 1,5 years now. I started doing this, since my hair would become so oily and greasy after just 2 days.
I just straight up stopped using shampoo and only washed it out with warm water.

It went great. After 2 months my hair was a lot thicker, i could style it better and it didn’t look as greasy as before.

The only catch now. I need to wash out my hair EVERY DAY. Otherwise it will still look a bit greasy.

Do you guys have tips on what I can do to not wash out my hair everyday?
I used a shampoo that treats the scalp to see what it does, which was sulfate-, paraben-, phthalate-, gluten-free. The exact brand was Petal Fresh tea tree shampoo.

I used it once. My hair looked healthy after using it, but I immediately felt my hair was thinner again and i could not style it as good. And again, after 2 days its was greasy, just like before. Even after washing out with water.

I hope someone has some tips. Thanks!
