You don’t need shampoo or conditioner except sometimes medicinally!

If you do not apply some sort of (proven) cleaning agent to your hair on a reasonably frequent basis, i dont care how in touch with nature and your primal self you are, you stink. If you dont want to deal with the maintenance cut it off, rocking the wrecking ball aesthetic is pretty great actually.

The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

I’ve met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn’t know unless they told you.

By occasionally, they mean once a month at most.

Hair only stinks if you get crap in it.

Like… oils and dander?

What’s next, not washing your sheets because body soil is natural?

Uhm, no? That’s quite a leap you made there.

For a normal human with no health problems affecting their oil production/smell, if you aren’t using shampoo/conditioner to constantly strip the oils from your hair, you very quickly stop overproducing oil.

Bedsheets and pillows should still be washed regularly, since they definitely get covered in excess skin oils/grime/etc.

But as long as you are caring for your hair in other ways like brushing daily and keeping it away from food/grease/mud/etc, using soap isn’t necessary unless you actually soil it - rinsing is enough to get rid of sweat buildup.

Obviously, if you are working something like a trade job, its not possible to avoid debris, grime and other things and you need to wash your hair more, but an office job? Retail? Just brush and rinse regularly, and your hair will smell and look just fine.

What’s next, stop wiping your butt because poop is natural?

Fuck off troll.
