bump

>>7019303
No picks to show, but I did it for a few years. Took about 3 months for my hair to full acclimate to it. Had to go back because I started using heavy pomade in my hair.

>>7019330

This is a concern for me as well.

I'm doing no poo and in the process of growing my hair out right now to about this length(see pic). So my worry is that, water won't be enough to get rid of the products I use in my hair.

how does no poo actually work. like, what about not using poo changes your hair.

I've been doing it for about two years now and I've had good results. I'd post pics, but I'm pretty ugly. I'm even uglier when i don't no-poo though.

>>7019432
Chemicals in shampoo supposedly strips your hair of its oils. So no poo is supposed to give you better quality hair, with better volume.

>>7019442
block out your face

i've been doing no poo and I can show results but I fear i'll be shat on.

someone back me up.

Shampoo - strips off the natural oils of your hair

When you regularly use shampoo, you force your head to overproduce oils to compensate for the loss. Then when you stop using shampoo for a few days, you suddenly feel like your hair's a greasy, oily mess then your instinct tells you to use more shampoo. The cycle repeats because of the fucked up balance.

By going no poo for a long period of time, you reset everything basically. Your hair will become more manageable because the oils assist in holding your hair together so it will look thicker too rather than being all separated and "fluffy."

I have wavy hair and it starts to dread-lock itself after about a week of not using shampoo, should I just comb like three times a day?

I've done it for 8 months or so. As you can see from the picture, it gives my hair way MORE texture and volume. Styling was basically impossible with the shitty mop I had before, but now all it takes is a comb and a hairdryer.

using h&s right now and it gets better..going to go back to no poo after a week or so

>>7019480
much better

>>7019480

Such a significant change man. Looks great now.

>>7019480
same thing for me
too bad i get dry scalp and it's really itchy :(

>>7019480
Nice
I had a similar experience

Hair used to look poofy as fuck dutchboy core
Now I can style it as soon as I step out of the shower. Nice balance between texture and cleanliness, never looks wet/greasy.

>>7019500
The only problems I have is that my hair occasionally gets greasier than I would like to. But it usually lasts like for 2 days and goes away magically, when I wash my hair with just hot water. Before I had to wash my hair with shampoo like everyday and the shampoo actually irritated my scalp badly. :( But now i can go usually about 3 days without even washing with water. Hair just stays great and dry all the time. So it was basically the opposite for me. idk.

>>7019464
makes sense. but how do you stop your hair from getting dirty? how often can you poo but still get this effect

>>7019550
I'm>>7019480
but in the start conditioner helped me a little. though what REALLY helped me, and still helps is sauna. you basically let hot steam clean it for you, no shampoo needed whatsoever. it still gives me some extra texture and chunkiness everytime.

i wondering on doing this nopoo shit, but i have dandruff when not using H&S
what to do?

>>7019500
>been no-pooing for about two months.
> getting itchy scalp.
>see on /fa/ that everyone says 3 months
>going to tough it out because my hair is so much nicer
do it with me bro.

2 months in
my hair seems to feel less thick/finer, more texture
it gets dry after a shower but seems to handle oils way better

i miss shampoo's scent tho

>>7019543
your supposed to use cold water.
my dorm wont shut the windows in the bathroom, probably to keep it from steaming up, so its freezing and i can barely use even warm water without freezing to death. when i was home for the summer i used cold water and it was much better.

>>7019627
also 3 weeks was the gross/breaking point for me; the following weeks progressed noticeably. prob cuz i already washed my hair with sulfate free every 1-2 weeks already

>>7019550
>>7019602
what i did was i just poo'd less. i went from normal pooing, to poo every other shower, to using less po, to pooing once a week, less poo, etc etc. that took a few months. just manually... agitate (?) your hair with your fingers in cool water and that keeps it clean.

>>7019639
should be good

Is the same thing with conditioner? I've been doing no-poo for 3 weeks and i have used conditioner 2 times just for the smell, so idk if it will be bad for the process

>>7019622
i'm with you bro
we're gonna make it

Opinions on washing your hair with baking soda and vinegar? Is this bad like shampoo?

>>7019645
every time someone says that i just think
WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
NO NO WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
WERE NOT GONNA MAKE IT
ANYMOOOOOORE

I've been NPing for a year and a half now probably. All I use is vinegar & olive oil sparingly, as well as pommade. I used to have a dandruff problem and now even with tfw no gf and college stress my dandruff is a decimal of what it once was

just throwing this in here... This is me after nopoo of about a month. Cold water wash every day with cold blowdry to dry it off afterwards.

i tried it for about 6 months, then gave up. got itchy scalp and more dandruff that made my hair smell insanely bad. went to shampoo bars instead (no sodium laureth sulfat), so it's better than regular shampoos atleast.

>>7019699
looks like a 15 y/o highschool haircut

>>7019699
is warm/hot water babd or something

>>7019723
you probably have a bad diet

Cold water and use this
http://www.amazon.com/DHS-Clear-Shampoo-16-oz/dp/B000GCV2VI
Cuz some niggas and their dandruff makes it a bit harder to maintain.
Some people have good enough hair genetics to not need shampoo but not everybody does.

>>7019746
we evolved with only rainwater to rinse the grease out our hair, cold water is what we're adapted for.

>>7019757
not all rainwater is cold tho

I've got curly/thick hair. Can someone give me a no poo tutorial?

>>7019767
1. don't use shampoo

do y'all on no poo still use conditioner?

>>7019779
So seriously I just condition? What's a good conditioner?

>>7019699

Looks great with that beard.

What's the best way to nopoo with long hair? Is it worth it?

>>7019790
>>7019792
nope. nothing. maybe baking soda and vinegar

>>7019750
no? and what is a bad diet anyway?

No shampoo for about a year now (I maybe shampoo every 4 months if I really need it or so) Ignore the shitty kept hair. Growing it out and haven't gotten it cut in months,

This is me after I was wearing a hat all day and its still. I found that when I shampoo, my hair gets way to light and puffy and basically just flops down and its impossible to style without using a fuckton of product.

No poo my hair is a lot easier to work with.

Also if it looks like I have bits of dandruff, I'm right under a light and I have a shitton of split ends and such so its just reflecting weird off the light.

>>7019732
and what is a "big boy haircut" supposed to look like?

>>7019550
Wash your hair with cold water and scrub your scalp and you'll be fine.

>>7019852
beautiful hair

>>7019857

Like this guys.

>>7019819
You should be eating lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Meat is fine, just not nasty greasy shit. Drink only water and alcohol (occasionally) No processed shit either.

>>7019852
u-ur hair looks beautiful...

>>7019458
>Chemicals in shampoo supposedly strips your hair of its oils.

Can't you get shampoo that doesn't contain those particular chemicals (lauryl/ laureth sulfate etc)?

No poo for 1.5 years

>Zero dandruff
>Easier to style
>Looks and feels great

I use conditioner and normal temperature water to get product out of my hair.

How do you get rid of dandruff and have no stinky hair with no poo?

>>7019602
Isn't hot wat suposedly bad for your hair? I can't keep track of all this mumbojumbo

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.

>>7019981

No poo means no shampoo. You can still use conditioner to clean your hair.

>>7019983

This. I usually do it with just shampoo like once or maybe twice every two weeks, and I find it generally gives you the same effect.

>>7019875
>>7019917

Thanks :)

Here's one more, but when its actually brushed.

Its ashame, I usually don't wear my hair without a hat because I'm growing it out and at the current length it looks really unkept from the back.

Also if anyone has any no poo questions I'll answer them. I've tried about every no poo style out there.

And FYI, when you're not using shampoo, you should be washing your hair under water for three to four times longer than you normally would. Be very rough and almost give yourself a deep tissue massage. Helps keep your roots healthy which makes all the difference.

>>7019699
you look homeless dude

>>7019852
Your hair looks fantastic dud

>>7020029
so fucking shiny

>>7019852
Do you no poo as in really using nothing else than water, or do you use cider and soda and whatnot?
Anyone answer, please.

>>7019983
some peoples hair just doesnt work with no-poo. just because your hair doesnt work well with no-poo doesnt mean you should peddle your misconceptions to some anon looking for advice. tell him no-poo doesnt work for you.

>>7020029
Can you fully detail what it is you do? As in, brush it while taking a shower? how do you dry it? Do you use anything instead of shampoo? Just water? Do you condition it from time to time, etc, etc?

>>7020029
do you really have to wash so much? i pretty much do what i would when i was washing the poo out of my hair, except now with no poo.

I did this after having long hair and using Head & Shoulders everyday

Terrible mistake, gave me horrible dandruff that I thought would go away anytime. IT DIDN'T.

I started using shampoos and home remedies and they didn't work AT FUCKING ALL

My hair was also super fucking greay all the time so yeah fuck that I'm back at using Head&Shoulders tyvm

>>7020043

Its mainly the fact that I'm directly under a light but normally it still is fairly shiny.

>>7020051

It depends. When I first started I used baking soda and water because my hair was just a mess. I did that every day, for about 2 weeks. Then after that I would use the soda maybe 1-2 a week, only when I really needed it. After about a month I was completely 100% water only.

Also to people that say it takes 2-3 months. It does and it doesn't. Everyone's body's produce oils at different levels. For example, if you produce above average amounts, no matter what no poo regime you use it won't work.

My advice would be that if no poo doesn't seem to be working after a month to two months max, give up because it won't be worth it in the long run.

>>7020064
>>7020051
im not that guy. ive been no pooing for a few months. i just shower like i normally would. then i do my hair last. i just get my hair wet, and then just do the same thing as if i had poo, meaning what you do when your washing the poo out, thats what i do, about the same length of time.

the reason i do my hair last isnt because it somehow helps, its because i like extremely hot showers, but its bad for your skin and scalp, so i turn the temperature down for my scalp.

I've tried it but get best results with washing once a week with SLS free shampoo and using coconut oil as a conditioner

Yes and no
Don't completely stop using shampoo, that's bad for you.

Just use it much less, and when you do use it, be sure to use conditioner .

Once or twice a week is good.

I've been about 3 months now, and while it doesn't strip out all my oils leaving my hair a fluffy/frizzy shapeless mass, it hasn't helped my dandruff. Suggestions? I'm told coconut oil is good for this.

>>7020057
thats what I did u faget.
you show me something other than anecdotal evidence that its a proven method and I'll retract what I say, but there hasn't been a concrete study to suggest otherwise.

>>7019303
Shampoo dries out my hair so badly and makes my scalp dry & itchy. Also makes dandruff way worse as it tightens my scalp. I only wet my hands and style my hair in the shower now as even washing with just water more than one a fortnight dries it out too much

>>7020029
Is it worth going for nopoo if I have thin hair? (not balding, I've just had thinner than average hair all my life) Most nopoo success stories such as yours look really thick. Is it because nopoo improves the thickness or at least the appearance of thickness of your hair, or that it simply works best for people with already thick hair? When I go day or two without washing my hair just sort of mats down on my scalp and loses volume rather than gaining it. Is that typical of the 'adjustment period' or is nopoo just not for me?

>>7020064

Ok, this is what I do, step by step.

1. Put my hair under the water and wash as I normally would for about 1-2 minutes.
2. Massage my scalp, run fingers through scalp, scratch lightly to really get it clean. Its also a great destressing technique. Do this for another 1-2 minutes.
3. One quick rinse maybe 30-45 seconds.

When I'm out of the shower, I towel dry so my hair is about 80%-85% dry. At this point I brush my hair back completely so it will dry relatively straight.

Now this is wear I have some variation. I usually throw a hat on for about an hour or so so that way it will dry pushed back rather than putting product in my hair. I find if I just stop before this step my hair will eventually just flop down into my eyes and I have to keep brushing it.

By doing this I'm able to style it without using any product which when you're using no poo, makes a big difference.

>>7020080

I'm a bit paranoid and I like being clean but sort of. I think you should be washing it AT LEAST twice as long.

>>7020112
Doesen't it smell bad, though? And if it does, what do you do to prevent it from smelling?

>>7020111

Its hard to say without seeing your hair, but you're sort of right. Thick haired people such as myself benefit from it more. It would also depend on what style of hair you have. I really think the people who benefit most from nopoo are people who either have curly hair, wavy hair, or long hair. No poo with 1-2" hair just won't reap as many benefits.

Nopoo doesn't really improve thickness per say, it just gives it a different appearance. If I had any recent nopoo pictures I would post them but like I said early, I've been doing it for over a year now so its been awhile. More than anything nopoo gives your hair shape rather than the "moppy" look.

>>7020120
Wonder about this too. I mean, if you don't clean any other part of the body - it will start smelling.

it's grand with short hair
tried growing my hair out with it
got to ~5 inches of hair and it was hard to control

>>7020130
I have medium wavy hair and growing out to be long. But it's pretty thin, been thin all my life, not balding, just as that guy you're responding to. So doesn't help thin hair as much, but helps wavy hair. What happens in my situation?

>>7020120
the smell is awesome, it's not like b/o or anything

>>7020120

Not if you wash it for long enough like I said. As funny as it sounds It depends if you're a "smelly" person to begin with.

If you do have problems with that, its nothing to be ashamed of. What I would do if you're trying to stay in the realms of natural hair, is look into natural herbals such as lavender. Just crush up a little, mix it with some baking soda, and do that maybe 2-3 times a week if you're having smell problems.

Also referring back to what I said; I still OWN shampoo. If I can tell my hair needs to be washed I wash it. After that it takes about a week again for my hair to go from puffy and light to workable.

Lastly like I said I said, it isn't for everyone. If you just have a smelly head, you may NEED shampoo.

>>7019682
i'm also interested in this, because i do it every 2 weeks at least

>>7020139

Can you provide pictures? And it helps just not as much. See the problem is, doing no poo adds oils, oils add weight.

Weight + thick hair = workable.
Weight + think hair = greasy.

Everyone's different and it depends on how thin your hair really is. Unless you're in a position where you have to maintain a certain level of appearance, I highly recommend everyone curious about no poo to try it.

I really have no idea where this "no poo is a troll" thing comes from. If I had to guess It would be people who tried it and didn't like it. Once again, everyone's different.

>>7020178
Coming up in couple of minutes.

>>7020130
this is all i have, although i only use cider vinegar and baking soda occasionally instead of couple of days

I started no poo because fuck buying and bringing poo everywhere. I've continued it for like two years now and I'm really liking it. try washing hair with cold water as it really helps some days. it makes a nice greasy instead of gross greasy.

>>7020233
anyone try olive oil + castor oil and below?

>>7020112
hey yea I do something like this. I've got pretty curly/wavy hair though, don't know about you

>wash body in warm shower etc but don't touch hair
>turn to cold
>flip around and scrub hair in cold water with head tilted back into water
>a couple of mins usually
>get out, towel dry while keeping it pushed back
>get everything else ready
>push the dryer hair forward getting weird curlys and lift
its p fun walking around with hair slicked back for a bit too

do u guys use any styling product while on no poo?
i remember like a year ago i was on no poo, used some pomade and my hair was AMAZING for a month but then all of a sudden it became very hard to style and manage. dno i might have just done something wrong back then. trying again now tho, week 2 atm

>>7020230
Coolio.
>>7020233
IMO this isn't all necessary and kind of defeats the purpose. The point of going nopoo is keeping it as simple and uncomplicated as possible. The point of banking soda is really only to ween you off of shampoo

>>7020269
Sounds like a nice style. I don't mess with cold water but if it helps it helps. Also

>don't know about you

scroll up you'll see two photos of my hair.

Using a name so people know I'm refering to my hair when I referenace a general comment. I'm >>7020029

>>7020276

I personally don't. Occasionally I'll use a bit of hairspray when I have to look presentable in a matter of minutes but thats it. The reason I don't use product (and this pertains to your situation) is because product, like shampoo, will ultimately ruin the effects of nopoo. Not significantly but my best results have been from no product.

>>7020293
Haven't washed my hair in a couple of days, so it's greasy and it loses a decent amount of waviness when it's greasy. I also usually wear it back, except when I'm sick and just can't be arsed to do anything with it.

>>7019303
no poo essentially just makes your hair better, that's it. It make your hair able to hold its own for longer, meaning it's going to take longer before greasiness and dandruff sets in. I used to have this happen to me after maybe 2-3 days, whereas now, I've gone for at least a week without washing at all and there's no oily crap or dandruff. The smell it gets after a week is about the same as day 3-4 of not washing (which isn't bad, it's just a, you know, "hair" smell, no fancy shampoo smell) so it's ok.

>>7020120
I'm in my third/fourth week and so far there's no noticable smell. when you run your hand through it for a while you can smell 'hair' but it's not like there's a cloud of oily hair smell floating around

>>7020322

When you say wash does that mean no showers or no poos? Cause If its not showers you should still be taking those...

It looks like it could work depending on your exact hair style. I would play with layering your hair more and growing your bangs our a bit more compared to the proportions of the back. This way you can simulate thicker hair even if its thin.

All and all I think you could still benefit from nopoo

>>7020322
You look 15

And your hair is pig disgusting

>>7020345
No, no, I get that. I didn't shower in a couple of days because I'm sick and I'm staying at home all day, so why even bother.

Anyway, thanks, I'll give it a try then.

>Be Italian/Greek
>tfw my hair will always end up greasy regardless if I use shampoo or not.

>>7020345
I really should do something about my hair in the back being so long compared to the front, though. Starting to look like a mullet.

>>7020365
Not underage, but still relatively young.

>>7020367
Which are you? Italian or Greek?

>>7020382
Both.

>>7020390
Is being a badass in your genes?

>>7020398
My grandpa on my Italian side fought in Vietnam, and my Greek grandfather was a Freemason, so I'm sure it's a possibility.

3 weeks doing no-poo only using baking soda 1-2 a week.I have thin and straight hair so its really hard to style sometimes and it just falls forwards. It doesn't last long like in the pic but i still have faith. Should i keep going or this thing doesn't really works that well on thin hair?

>people still falling for this no-poo shit
lmao wash your hair regularly, cut it, get some product and i can guarantee you will have "no-poo" looking healthy hair without the disgusting smell and scalp flake

so if part of the point od no poo is that shampoo has chemicals in it that are bad for your hair, how is using conditioner ok? Or does conditioner not have chemicals in it?

why does nobody do water only from the start?

you faggots are concocting your own shampoos with these vinegar snake oil baking soda mixtures.

>>7020112
Is the hat a fedora by any chance?

pic related is my before and after. If I didn't find no poo I'd still be a bald 30-something year old virgin, OP.

>>7020615
Has science gone too far?

>tfw however you style it stepping out of the shower is the way it stays all day
>tfw can go a whole week without looking greasy
>tfw no money spent on goopy/waxy/greasy products
>tfw hair denser than a neutron star

>>7020535
it's just sodium laureth that these kids get worked up over. conditioner probably has it but since it makes such a tangible difference, they all ignore the buzzword.

in reality it's a bullshit reason tacked onto poorly constructed arguments advocating np.

>>7020615
did he learn the secrets to hair growth that doctors don't want us to know?

>>7020101
mmm. coconut oil would make your hair smell really good, I assume..

but no poo makes my hair more greasy.

i do not follow

>>7019464
That is so bullshit. The fact is that the oil in your hair catches debris and dust, so in the end you have a layer of dust and random shit from the air "sandwitching" the oil between your hair. Also the oil tends to make hairs stick together, and unless you pick that shit out with a fine tooth comb, you'll get loads of knots.

>>7020728
i have never encountered any of what you just described. maybe try it for half a year before making some bullshit hypothesis

>>7019698
>vinegar and olive oil
your hair is not a salad
stop that

>>7020761
I'm saying that's what happens, That's what makes hair not feel greasy after months of no poo, it's dust, pollen, dirt, and other shit. Also the knotting things does depend on hair type but it does happen.

I'm on my second day. Should I completely cut shampoo or just use it less and less?

>>7020786
uhh no? a week ago i pulled a 72 hour studio session and afterwards used poo for the first time in 4 months. 1 day of no poo after this single use and my hair was back to the same texture. it is not a buildup of gunk but rather different texture properties derived from a different interaction between the hair and the seebum present.

can someone please explain why whenever i go out my hair always poofs/fluffs up?

>>7020836
humidity maybe. where you live?

>>7020815
Nigga you dumb. Unless it had a whacked out pH, it couldn't have done much to your hair. It's the fact that the oil is catching shit.

>>7020839
sydney

but its always when its a bit chilly out, my hair just seems to poof up

>>7020903
Sydney's always pretty humid, so when it's cold it's a 'wet' cold which clings to your hair, making it poof.

I tried it, didn't like it.

>>7020903
picks? not really sure what you mean.

>>7020947
its a fact that cold air can not hold as much moisture as warm air, so unless its literally raining, that is false.

>>7020947
i see

>>7020965
i dont have a pic of it, but it just sorta goes stringy

>>7020705
For a couple weeks-months before it stabilizes and then it's not as greasy

I'm doing no poo, 1 month so far.
Hopefully it'll get better by the time I grow my hair enough for a manbun.

>>7019480

ARE YOU ARGENTINIAN?

>>7021024
yeah he is i saw him the other day taking the subway to plaza italia

>>7020968
Our humidity is really high so your clothes feel damp and it really makes you cold. I'm saying that the moisture in the air due to humidity is what is making his hair poof. When it's hot, everything generally feels sticky because it's a 'wet' heat as opposed to a 'dry' heat.

>>7021024
>>7021026
what the fuck

>>7020789
Less and less. If you cut it all at once you'll have crazy dandruff.

>>7019757
>naturalistic fallacy
these savage customs created humans that looked like savages.

>>7021085
i took two months to wean off of shampoo. not a single flake of dandruff. mfw.

>add one half of avocado. Eat the other half

>>7021107
Their hair looks fine they just don't give a shit to cut it.

>>7019303
Basically it's a troll since it only works for ~4-10% of the world population, everyone else has shit genes (read non-Germanics) and needs to pay hundreds on product and stylists to get the same look.

A-am I /fa/ yet guys?

>>7019682
I've been doing BS/V for about 11 months now, though I mostly just do BS/conditioner now.
White vinegar tends to make my hair shinier but apple cider vinegar tends to bring out red highlights.
My curly-ish hair hates being detangled when dry, so I do it in the shower with conditioner. Make sure to use silicone/dimethicone free conditioner if you do decide to go that route.

Also, I have seborrheic dermatitis and using baking soda regularly (once or two a week) really helped this. When I first started doing no-poo I had a really hard time with the SD, but a baking soda paste scrubbed into my scalp normally cleared it up. After a while it was just no longer an issue. Be careful about not totally dissolving the baking soda though, the grit can tear up hair.

>>7019792
You can wash with just conditioner, it's called co-washing, it's fairly common among curly heads. I just use VO5 conditioner for this, it's silicone free, cheap, smells nice, and you're going to use a lot if you have long hair. Check out the Long Hair Community forum for more CO stuff.

I no poo when I feel like wearing my hair up and to the side. The hold is a lot better. But the barber recently washed my hair and I've forgotten how cute I look with my hair down, so I'm pooing again for the time being.

>>7020642
Not all conditioner has SLS, some of the ones that do just have tiny amounts of them, so it doesn't cause huge damage. You should still be careful about choosing your conditioner, or use something else for moisture.

Even the sticky states to avoid nopoo. Just shampoo less regularly. Why must it be all or nothing with some of you?

>>7020642
I'm allergic to all soaps, shampoos, shower gels etc using sodium laureth sulfate, it's mild but severly annoying (crazy itchy rash for an hour or two after exposure). I used to use an organic tea tree shampoo (which was the only one I ever found could even deal with my coarse curly ass hair) but since going no poo my hair has been better than ever.

Don't forget the importance of exercise and diet for healthy hair. You should eat raw foods and jog an hour a day for best results. Avoid soda and coffee.

>>7019342

you won't need to use products if you're doing no poo

I found that my hair had a great natural hold and texture to it on no poo

I would style it and it would just stay where it should

who the fuck washes their hair?

>>7020322

jesus christ your hair is an oil slick

To all the nopoo fags, do you still use soap on your body? If yes, can you rationalize why?

>hair is all greasy and smelly
>OMG SO EASY TO STYLE

Femanon here,
Would no poo work well on long hair? I have fairly thick hair that goes a bit past my sternum. It gets greasy after a few days and in general just pretty fucking gross.
My main reason of concern is that the thorough washing of hair in cold water just wouldn't do it for this much hair. Any advice?

How do I no poo without using vinegar?
Just water doesn't get all my product out.

>>7023350
no
you'll end up with ugly greasy hair with ugly curls
also smells worse than mens short nopoo hair

Can't I just go jogging naked in the rain to clean myself?

I had bad results, but my hair is really long and really thick.

>>7023503
>mfw I'm a nigga

It's like I should just kill myself

I've been on no poo for a couple of months now.

I just use conditioner like once a week. And the rare coconut oil.
Its helped a lot for my dry scalp so no more flakes also my hair is not dry all the time because of the shampoo.

>>7023088
>Just shampoo less regularly

the problem with doing this is that after shampooing your hair is really dry and after a day or two it gets really greasy

no poo allows for more stable oil levels and you don't have to shower as often

>>7023350
it was invented for long hair

but you can't just quit shampoo cold turkey, you have to ease off it

use baking soda and apple cider vinegar, google it

>>7020657

doctors hate him!

I HAVE experience with it, but my head is self destructing. I used to do BS + ACV and my hair was the best on the block. Went swimming back in August, hair still won't recover. Tried BS + ACV, nope. Try ACV only, nope. Try water only washing, DEFINITELY nope.
So I got a shower head with a filter in it the other week and tried BS and ACV. I cleaned it too well I think, BUT I haven't showered since and my hair feels...decent actually. So I'm gonna start water only to see what happens.


IF you live in a hard water area, highly recommend a shower head regardless. Do some googling. /fa/ isn't the best bunch, but some google searching will net you a lot of suggestions to make no poo work.
Most no pooers on this board are "water only or get the fuck out" no pooers. But with some natural conditioners and good care, it'll work for most people. Even long hair. If it doesn't, you do get to know your hair better anyways.

>>7024607
NO

You still shower every day - you just don't necessarily wash your hair

"No shampoo" is NOT an excuse to compromise your overall hygiene

>muh dandruff
scrub your scalp more every day. you still have to scrub your hair even though you aren't shampooing.. dandruff is just dead skin from your scalp, scrub that shit off in the shower

>omg your hair oil is going to catch a planet
scrub your head every day. yes, shit could probably get caught in the oils left on your head, but shampoo isn't the one and only exclusive holy grail for that. scrub your head. additionally, i comb my hair in the shower every day with a fine tooth comb

>>7023032
I'm growing out my bangs, I know they look stupid shaggy.
My hair just brushes my tailbone, shooting for mid-thigh.

Just moved to Seattle from the South, this is relevant because the change in climate warranted a change in hair care. I needed to scrub with BS slightly more often for about a month, and I switched from using coconut oil on the ends to using Jojoba. I might try to switch back to coconut oil though since it smells fantastic!

>>7025940

youre probably ugly as fuck but i wanna eat your pussy out so bad

>tfw never went down on pussy but now craving for it

>>7026069
coconut oil is so good. Makes your hair so smooth when you wash it out. Love dat shit.

>>7025940
>>7025940
Just realized I didn't scrub like I should have on one spot on my bangs. This+SD=flakes=misery
I'll probably have to wash just my bangs again today, then I'll be good for 5 days or so.

Worst attention whore ever.

How often you should use conditioner?
Im not doing no poo, its just a question

>>7027409
Every time you shampoo. No exceptions.

>>7027450
And how many times a week you shoukd use shampoo?

>>7027471
As few as possible while keeping hair from looking greasy. It's different for different people depending on hair type, shampoo ingredients, sweating, etc.

newfag here, is nopoo just when you dont shit for a long time

>>7025408
yeah, that's what I meant

>>7027817
Nope, it's specifically when you don't use shampoo. You still wash your hair, just without shampoo. There's lots of different ways to no poo, most people just say to experiment and find what's best for your hair.

>>7027834
ah, thanks

Can you still use a blow drier on nopoo?

>>7029440
no it's illegal in most countries to blow dry on nopoo.

>>7027817

Stats of no poo:

Following a 2007 radio interview that Australian Richard Glover held with Matthew Parris (a Times columnist "who hadn't shampooed for more than a decade"), Glover "decided to challenge his audience to go without shampoo for six weeks". Of the over 500 participants in the challenge, 86 percent reported that "their hair was either better or the same" following the challenge.

Dermatologist Jim Leyden tried an experiment of paying prisoners to not wash their hair for a month to see if they developed dandruff—and found that they did not.

>>7029533
Dandruff varies from person to person, don't it?
I mean if you don't have dandruff pre-no poo I don't think you'll get any substantial amount of dandruff from not using shampoo.

>>7030044
what if one uses anti-dandruff poo?

I want to do it but my hair is kinda thinning and I've been prescribed minoxidil 5%.
Should I try it?

>>7030055
Well then the dandruff is because your scalp is better off hanging in the belt of a casino owner.

Most people who think they have dandruff don't really have it. They have dry scalp which can be cured with a moisturizing SLS free shampoo used once a week.

How do I into no poo?
I know nothing about haircare, and the only thing that I have ever used on my hair is cheap shampoo.
Should I just wash my hair with water or what?

>>7019342
Use Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo. Genrously. Maybe once every 2 to 3 days.

Okay. I think I'm gonna start doing no poo. Will it stop my hair from being frizzy and poofy.
This is what my hair looks like for about a month after I cut it, with no product or anything, but that day was a little unruly. Then it starts to frizz and poof out at the sides since I have two crowns
Will no poo make my face oily and make me produce more acne?
Picture was from a year ago. So yeah, be gentle

>>7031459
Pls

Been diluting my poo and using it once or twice a week instead of straight-out no pooing, mostly to avoid any smell/itch or buildup. Any silica silyate hair powder seems to give just as much volume and texture, as well as a matte finish so the hair doesn't look oily-- even on bad days.

It works for me, but only if I'm showering in a place that has soft water as opposed to hard water.

>>7019303
Maybe it is just a placebo. but I have no pooed for three months now and it seems my hair let's me do whatever the fuck I want to it.

It used to be such a hassle to slick back but now I brush it and it stays however I want it to be. Pretty rad.

What a thread full of circlejerking faggots, just wash your hair you fucking retards who do anything they see other people do on the internet. You think just water will get rid of the dirt that builds up in your hair? It's like someone not washing their body for 8 months because they wan't to smell 'more natural'. Who gives a fuck if your hair loses some of its 'natural oils' its not as if anyone actually pays attention to your hair, let alone judging you because you use shampoo. I can imagine people on this thread looking at people like
"hurr look at this plebs hair I bet he uses shampoo, im clearly more /fa/ than him because my hairs dirtier and has more natural oils". Fuck off.

I'd like to note that while nopoo has made my hair more manageable, the deep conditioning/oiling/honey that went along with it sometimes makes my hair too soft and slippery to be put up in buns. That's a huge pain in the ass.

what about natural 'poo?

>>7019303
Just tone it down to 2x a week.

>>7031564
>Will no poo make my face oily

Dude you're not using shampoo on your face right?
You may get acne on your hairline, but I am vulnerable for acne and I didn't get any from doing no-poo.

>>7023350
thats a disgusting length of hair. nothing will help you until you lop at least half of it off.

>>7025940
that is disgusting. absolutely repulsive. you sicken me.

>>7032562
did you even fucking read anything in this thread?

just use less and less shampoo each time you shower. then only shampoo every other time you shower. then use less shampoo each time. then only poo twice a week. less, 1 time per week. less poo. never. thats what i did, that way my hair didnt freak out and get super oily like you hear people complaining. if you take long enough to wean off, should be a smooth transition. however, be prepared to have super oily weird hair for at least a month. i cant elaborate on that since it didnt happen for me.

after that part is done, only wash your hair in cold water. like your giving yourself a deep tissue massage on your head. that gets out dandruff. it will take some experimentation. too much will leave you no oil at all, to little and you will have too much oil and will start to smell bad.

ive been nopooing for only a few months, but i read ever single no poo thread to make sure im doing it right.

i always had good hair before, but now its god tier

Should I still condition while doing no poo?

>>7033252
if you want too

Here's no poo hair on day two. That's two days after washing it.
Still looks like hair, no flakes, no oil slick, no smell.
Close up is on scalp since that's what gets nasty first.

No poo noob here. Tried this >>7020269 + >>7020112 for 1 day .
#wow

Looks dumb I know but I've never had this much volume before

>>7033330
Looks good. No poo is great!

Shampoo once a week, switching from non-dandruff and organic shampoo. Organic conditioner every 2 days.

Never fully dry my hair, run in about a teaspoon of jojoba oil after shower while still wet with my hands. Comb it sometimes. The oil helps, my hair is generally really dry, makes it soft but not oily looking. Natures Blessing is also great pomade.

This is about 3 months of hair grow, been on this regiment for about 6 months.

Not really, by the end of the week it needs washing. My hair gets incredibly dry without it dairy though.

The shampoo link was not posted. The no poo thread demands no poo!

any fix for like rally curly hair?? straight on sides but when its long on top is suer curly ? help??? and im thinking of going no poo would that help?

>>7033713
No poo is great for curlies, that's actually who it is normally targeted at.

>>7033724
thanks babe , oh yea , i feel i am pretty fa for a 15 year old , any styles that i should try to change up for?

>>7033763
If you haven't already you could try going full curly, emphasizing the curls and not doing things to contain them. Treat your hair like curly hair: oil, wide tooth combs, never brushing, detangling only in the shower, conditioner out the wazoo, plopping, etc.
You have curly hair, don't treat it like straight hair.

>>7033763
you should try to change up getting the fuck out of here. 15 year lolzies.

>>7033787
what kind of style goes with that or like colors (light brown hair) with curly on top hair

>>7033787
not that guy but i have clark kent tier curls

this pic is honestly what my hair would look like if i styled it in a side parting

should i cut it short or try and rock it?

>>7033810
ooooooooooooooo like i haven't hear some poser chirping me because i'm young , just because im probably 8x more fashionable than you acne ridden 15 year old self doesnt mean you need to be a faggot

>>7033877
because everyone on here is 15.

Should you still wash your hair every day even when doing no poo? or go a day or two without washing it?

>>7033998
Read the therad, ALWAYS FUCKING WASH IT.
No-pooing isn't an excuse to skip washing your hair.

>>7034014
That's not what they were asking dufus.
You can start stretching washes, the longer you no poo the less often you'll need to wash. I can go 6-7 days max, some people can do 2 weeks+, my boyfriend still washes everyday with just water. It's different for different hair types.

>>7034526
>I can go 6-7 days max, some people can do 2 weeks+

poo

black dude with a buzz cut (like obama). should i even bother with no poo? what little hair i have is dry and itchy. also, as someone who gets their hair cut frequently, what do i do so that i don't end up at the barber with super greasy hair?

>>7034868
You might like conditioner only washing. It would keep the hair soft and still clean, but it wouldn't dry out your scalp.

Well I've gone from needing shampoo for greasy hair every 2 days to once a month.

You still wash with water and a little conditioner or tee tree oil OP.
