My approach on nopoo
For those of you who don’t know it. Nopoo is a movement that tries to avoid using any shampoo or conditioner. The goal is to naturally balance your own scalps oil production and get more thick and natural hair. It all sounds quite good in theory and many people had positive experiences. So that is why i wanted to try it out.
The first few days were horrible. i tend to easily get dandruff and you can guess what, i got a lot of dandruff. Daily i had to wash my hair with water only, i couldn’t bare no washing my hair at all.Â
Eventually i bought a non silicone conditioner and started using this twice a week. It kinda helped and I m feeling good. The dandruff and irritated scalp however is still there.
It has been almost a month now. I admit that my hair doesn’t get oily that quick anymore and the hair might be thicker.Â
Unfortunately it did not come without side effects. I started losing hair since i started this Nopoo, at an alarming rate. Not sure what caused it but i definitely don’t want to be balding at my current age (28).
So today I decided to buy a shampoo at the local drugstore, one without silicone though. Have heard a lot of good stories about argan oil, so probably will give that a shot. In a few days I will give you an update about how things are going.
Guess in the long run I would be OK with low poo instead of no poo. I don’t think completely missing shampoo and conditioner is suitable for me. I love my hair too much and usually have medium long hair. Losing hair is about the worst I can imagine, so I will try everything to stop that. If it means going back to daily shampooing, i might as well do it. But let’s see, i haven’t given up on low poo yet.
