7 weeks without shampoo

You read that right, I haven't shampooed my hair in 7 weeks. I still "wash" it every day with water and conditioner, and use products to scrunch the curls. Two sources recommended this to make curls lusher, scalp healthier, and hair better overall. They warned the first week would be bad as your scalp adjusted to the new state but to struggle through it as the results are worth it. And they're right. My scalp feels so much better, my hair looks good, and always smells like fresh conditioner, never a dirty hair smell even after being out at a bar. I didn't believe it at first, but it really is the shampoo stripping natural hair oils that makes hair dirty and the scalp dry, and it's ok not to use any. Shocking? Horrifying? Thrilling? Give it a try!
