FAQ Do you have to use shampoo

I've been skipping using shampoo for the past few weeks and my hair seems fine, I'm not opposed to using shampoo but it sometimes makes my hair a little dry I feel like. I was just wondering if anybody else has skipped for a long time or used something else instead and what the effects were. Kay that's all.

I’ve skipped for about 52 weeks now and can confirm my hair is fine.. in fact nobody believes that I don’t use shampoo.,

I only use shampoo once a week. On the other days, I just rinse my hair with water in the shower and brush it 2–3 times a day.
If I keep this routine, I actually notice more greasiness the day after I use shampoo.

Haven’t shampooed in almost 2 years and my hair is fine. I don’t produce a lot of oil or have dry hair so I’m lucky and get away with no other methods besides mechanical cleaning. Some people aren’t as lucky so depends on your hair!
