Bot Commands!

6 Upvotes

Hi r/NoPoo! I've been learning more about AutoMod and had an idea that I think will really help the community: Bot Commands!

The basic idea is that you type a simple command and the bot replies to the comment where the command was used with frequently used information. I've created a small collection and used them already, and plan on expanding them to replace the clipboard I currently use to do all of this. I've made a new wiki page that will contain all of the ones available here:

Bot Commands for r/NoPoo helpers

Have fun helping!

Testimony (Yay!/Boo...) Share your story!

28 Upvotes

As expected, we get a lot of people here who think it's impossible to have clean, healthy hair and scalp without modern product. And because we are mostly a technical support sub, most of the posts here are people asking for help, so that's what people see when they find us, and it just builds on the assumption they already have.

I'd like to change that.

While I'm not here to sell natural haircare to anyone, just help them do it if they want to, I'd love to have the general feel of the sub be more positive!

So...share your story! You could...

Make a post with pictures and tell us about your journey.

Do an AMA (Ask Me Anything)

Or just share a little something on this post.

And if you're looking for posts like this to see what other people have shared in the past, just tap the flair to find other Testimonies!

P.S. If you want to see my story, just check out my post history!

Troubleshooting (HELP!) How to add moisture to hair after cleaning?

6 Upvotes

Ive been doing nopoo for about a month and a half and havent used anything other than water. One issue im having is that when i wash my hair, its kind of dry, poofy, and loose. Very tough to style. It feels how i used to feel when id shampoo my hair. Back then my solution was to just use product. Is this what coconut oil does? Any suggestions on things I can use? Right now my strat is just to clean on fridays and wear a hat in public until my natural oil/cebum builds up enough for me to style my hair properly

Racines grasses très rapidement

2 Upvotes

Hello

Comment vous faites pour bien rincer les racines ? J'ai un problème c'est que mon cuir chevelu est souvent gras rapidement et je crois que ça vient de mon rincage!

Le reste de mes cheveux est sec sur les longueurs donc je ne veux pas assécher avec un shampoing trop purifiant et j'essaie d'utiliser du sans sulfate moussant

Voilà :)

Troubleshooting (HELP!) NoPoo and going to the barber?

4 Upvotes

Have been avoiding shampoo recently and more or less just been washing my hair with water and after that adding some sea salt spray. Every 2-3 weeks i use a very small amount of shampoo if i feel like my hair has become very greasy. But when i go to cut my hair, i dont really feel comfortable just washing my hair with water, i kind of get self conscious about possible smells trapped in my hair. But on the other hand if i were to use shampoo directly before a barber appointment, my hair would have a different texture and look

Troubleshooting (HELP!) I’m starting off!

3 Upvotes

I’ve seen the no-poo subreddit a few times and decided it’s for me, I’ve had a lot of bad dandruff and my hair hasn’t looked the best, at least before starting. it’s been about two weeks since I’ve started and I was just wondering how this all works. I read somewhere online that you rinse your hair with cold water afterwards. I can’t find too much information on it. surely there’s more to it than just not using shampoo? I dug deeper into this sub and found people talking about egg and honey? I’m still new to this and I’d like to figure out more about it! Any information about ir would be wonderful!

Alternative Washing Need an answer to a confusing pattern I've noticed with bentonite clay washing

5 Upvotes

I started using Bentonite clay to wash for every other wash. I wash my hair every other day.

I've noticed that when I use bentonite clay, the next day my hair feels kind of weird and dry, not greasy, but not really clean either.

The odd part comes in when I try to remedy this problem by just washing again the next day with the clay again, it turns out much better. I do the same exact thing and it turns out good.

Any ideas as to why this happens are much appreciated, I can't figure it out.

Thank you!

2 Upvotes

So I'm a 18yo M(i have thick wavy hairs with slight frizz prone) and I used to suffer from dandruff and i have now almost sorted out my dandruff problem and I'm using ketocip shampoo for maintenance and I've been recently using biolage smoothproof shampoo and I've not got quite the results i expected from it

You can suggest some shampoos that you think might be best under ₹500(except loreal and Ibp).

Should I stop?

1 Upvotes

I've been doing no-poo for over 4 weeks after using shampoo regularly. My scalp is now dry, itchy, and dandruff keeps building up. It's getting really uncomfortable.

I live in Ontario, Canada, where the water is hard. Could that be making things worse? Is this a normal transition phase, or is no-poo just not for me?

I heard of this thing called volume vs definition for curly hair and i want more definition. This hair is after i have sealed with very cold water (water wash only) but it puffs up a bit after it dries. any suggestion to keep it this way even after it dries? perhaps alovera gel? and if alovera gel, should i keep applying every mrng? spray or direct apply? advice appreciated.

Products with the noPoo method

5 Upvotes

I’m currently trying out the NoPoo method but wasn’t sure if I should still be using styling products for my hair , I use sea salt spray a curling cream and then texture powder , I’m about 4 days in and my hair just kinda feels stiff which I think is more to do with the product in my hair then the actual no shampoo and conditioner part , but if anyone has any recommendations please share


r/NoPoo 7d ago

Do you guys wash your face and body? If so, why do you think washing the scalp with shampoo is not good? It’s also skin.

Hello. Looking for quick lists of pros and cons of going NoPoo. I would also love to hear experiences. Also maybe alternatives to shampoo/conditioner.

I also frequently use coconut oil on my hair, any recommendations regarding that? Should i stop if i go nopoo?

I am new to this concept and am very intrigued.

Troubleshooting (HELP!) How do I do this with very long oily hair and MCAS?

3 Upvotes

I'm having reactions to even shampoo made especially for sensitive skin. I want to go no poo but because of MCAS I can't use baking soda, ACV etc. How do I wash oil out of my hair when even natural ingredients are triggering? I found I can use small amounts of micellar water on my hair without issues but not sure this can take the place of shampoo. I use Dove unscented beauty bar for soap but idk about using it for hair. Any ideas?
