Do You Really Need to use a Shampoo?

Do you really have to use shampoo or is it just a habit that is second nature?

I have been washing my hair with plain warm water for a few weeks now.

Due to allergies and sensitivities I have been using an unscented shampoo for over 16 years. But it was quite harsh on my hair and I could not find an alternative that was gentler that I could tolerate.

I have a friend who had gone shampoo free a couple of years ago and was very happy with the results. I also knew of a number of people who did the same.

Hmmm ... ? I pondered it on and off for a long time. Then I forgot about a haircut appointment. This had happened before. Was it an omen?

So, now I do without both shampoo and haircuts. At least for a while.

My decision sits well with me as an environmentalist and on account of my health issues and also, to a lesser extent on my hip pocket.

Time will tell if it is a physical benefit to my hair. It certainly doesn’t damage it.



KISS for Life,

Peace to all,
