RIP

eh, it made my hair a little nicer but the dandruff was bad and came at random intervals. I no poo'd around 3 times now, first for a few months, then half a year, and most recently almost a full year. Quit each time because the dandruff just became too much to deal with. That and my hair just didn't smell good. It smelled like sweat and I would clean it with conditioner and cold showers. Also the cold showers were pretty annoying too.

My recommendation is just to shampoo like once a week. It works just as well and I just use a wax or something the day after I shampoo to stop it from being super fluffy. My hair smells better and I have no dandruff. Plus I can take warm showers and don't have to scrub my hair for 10 minutes every day (my hair is naturally REALLY thick on its own). Also for some reason I was losing a lot of hair when going no poo, I guess because shampoo wasn't getting rid of the fallen out hair?

My personal opinion? I think no poo is mostly placebo mixed with some form of investigator bias. I agree shampoo strips oils, but the part about your hair regulating oils and overproducing just doesn't make any reasonable sense and absolutely no study has proven otherwise. In fact many doctors have come out and spoken against this claim. Whats instead happening is people are either becoming accustomed to their oilier hair, or they're finding someway to strip the oils through another process.

Not saying there isn't some notable effect, but not for the reasons people are listing. I feel like it's just more managable all around to just use shampoo less often than cut it out completely.
