Do you still shampoo your hair?

[washize]

I only co wash my hair now. I don't even use baking soda any more. The first two weeks of no poo, was difficult(I had alot of build up), But into the 4th week now, my scalp hardly has any build up when co was day comes, and my hair is very easy to manage.

Anyone else strictly cowash?

 

[Bene]

I still shampoo. Just my scalp, but some shampoo is definitely involved.

 

[Esq.2B]

I always shampoo. Always.

 

[Nonie]

Twice a week. Love shampoo!

 

[SmilingElephant]

I still shampoo!!! Once a week!

 

[BlackMasterPiece]

Absolutely every week can't live without it I have oily skin so I must shampoo co-washing isnt nearly enough. I focus the shampoo on my scalp as thats the only part that gets build-up. I use sulfate-free NourishSpa

Sometimes I'll generously add conditioner and rinse out twice to get most of the build-up off my hair, then end with shampoo, that makes me use less shampoo and it makes it be able to lather from the first wash.

I always shampoo.

 

[gymfreak336]

Yes I shampoo. Gotsa have it.

 

[Taina]

I co-wash every day. I still use shampoo from time to time, but it could pass more than 3 weeks with no shampoo. I don't miss it, but sometimes, when i use a very tick and hard to clean product, i shampoo my hair.

I tried to exclusively cowash, but my scalp stinks horribly. It has never really felt clean, and this is after clarifying with a shampoo and then going back to cowashing. I also did baking soda, but I don't think it does anything. I have to go back to shampoo, and the shampoo I am going to use is Black Earth Total Body Shampoo. I try to only use shampoo on my scalp, but this shampoo is so moisturizing that it doesn't really matter that much if I happen to shampoo my ends.

 

[Mz.Shug]

Still shampoo.It has to be a moisturizing shampoo and I pre-poo.

 

[poookie]

i shampoo every other wash, & use a shampoo with sulfates 1x per month to remove build-up. i use a lot of cones in my regimen, so i need shampoo to remove them

 

[La Colocha]

I have to shampoo 1x a week, cowashing would make my hair mushy and cause build up on my scalp.

What's mushy hair? I've seen the term floating around, but I don't understand what it means. erplexed

 

[poookie]

mushy hair = the sensation you get when your hair is overmoisturized. it'll feel very soft & squishy, & more fragile than usual. the opposite of mushy hair is protein-overloaded hair, which is stiff & hard.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Yes, I shampoo once a week, usually Saturday. I use HELTR or HEHH.

 

[flowinlocks]

I use my Shikakai bar about once a week, other than that it's cowashing and tea rinsing.

 

[Chameleonchick]

I shampoo two or three times a month. I am a cowasher. I try my best not to use too many products with cones.

 

[Truth]

Yes, 1x a week.. gotta have the poo...

 

[LatterGlory]

Yup! I just dilute it in an applicator bottle (I keep in the shower) and apply to scalp only.

 

[goodmorningruby]

I don't think I can live without my shikakai bar shampoo. I still co-wash once in a blue moon, though. I did tonight.

 

[malibu4590]

I make my own shampoo using diluted Dr Bronners.

 

[cmw45]

Hated it. Lol. I haven't shampooed in weeks.

 

[tocktick]

I use Dr. Bronners Tea Tree soap. I dilute it with water.

 

[melissa-bee]

Nah. Shampoo is old school to me right now... It's all about the water, baking soda and tea tree oil. Lol. I've only washed with this 3 times so i'm seeing how it goes. But right now it's agreeing with my scalp.

 

[Firstborn2]

every blue moon if I have a lot of build up, other then that I'll use bs on my scalp

 

[Pooks]

I pretty much cowashed exclusively at the start of my HHJ and endured the build up until my monthly shampoo, but I like my scalp clean and when I cowash if I don't rinse well enough I end up with build up on my scalp which = itching shortly after.

I now shampoo at least once every week and a half or so.

 

[longhairlover]

I still shampoo, I shampoo concentrating on the scalp, i'm trying to find sulfate free shampoos because I feel like when I shampoo it causes my hair to shed while doing so, i've tried cowashing and had no shedding but my scalp still had an odor so back to shampoo

oh well for now I guess there's always giovanni products.

 

[sugarwater]

I moisterize shampoo 2 weeks/half way into the month then I sulfate 2 weeks later/end of month

 

[mstar]

Yep, I shampoo. I especially love my clarifying poo (Elucence).

I co-wash every 3-4 days, but I use a lot of oils and butter moisturizers, so I need to wash the residue off.

Last Thursday, I started off co-washing, then moved to moisturizing shampoo when I couldn't get rid of all the castor oil buildup, then brought out the clarifying poo to finish up the job. That JBCO is tough to remove, LOL! Anyways, my hair has never felt better...I love the clean feeling of freshly shampooed hair.

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

yes
