No Poo
No Poo? What?!
The No Poo movement is a movement in which you simply stop shampooing your hair (get it... no shamPOO), and let me tell you-- it's fantastic!
When I first heard of the No Poo movement I had the same thoughts that I'm sure you're having now:
"No shampoo? Isn't that gross?"
"Do you still shower?"
"How do you keep your hair clean?"
After reading as many articles as I could find, I quickly found all of the answers that I needed. Rather than using shampoo while showering, you simply rinse your hair and scrub your scalp. After that, you can still use conditioner if you wish-- I do.
Human hair does not need to be shampooed. The only reason that we believe we need to shampoo, in fact, is simply because we have been doing it our entire lives. Had we never began, there is a big chance that our hair would be so much healthier due to us not adding unneeded chemicals. I don't know about you, but if I can, I always prefer to do things more naturally.
I'm going to be honest, it's pretty grody at first. Depending on what your skin type is (mine is oily) it takes roughly six weeks for your hair to normalize and stop making excess oils.
I took this photo on day 49 of my No Poo journey, however I am currently on day 67. Looking at the photo, you wouldn't even guess that I have gone without shampoo for even a single day.
Joining in on the No Poo movement has honestly been one of the best choices I have made in a long time, and I highly suggest you try it as well!
One thing to note, however, is that if you are planning on trying this, be wary of when you begin. I made the choice to start it the week high school ended so I had the entire summer for my hair to normalize again because I spend the majority of the summer with my hair up anyway.
I'm not lying when I say that it's pretty gross in the beginning. It definitely is.
Either way, since I've stopped shampooing, I've noticed that my hair is incredibly healthy as well as ten times easier to manage. It holds texture longer, it is far easier to style, I can actually get a brush through it now..... it's fantastic.
If there is one thing I have begun that I am so excited to continue, it is definitely this. If you're looking for a more natural approach to your hair, this is it.
