Trying to stop using Shampoo

[larsson]

If not shampoo, then what should I wash my hair with? Would soap alone do fine?

Just replace shampoo with a healthier choice. I use Terressentials Mud wash, and it works amazing it's the same "mud" it's really clay, that is used in mud baths. I can feel my hair is nicely moisturized and my scalp and hair is refresh and clean. The mud wash is made of bentonite clay, a clay that was used to wash hair for thousands of years it act as a magnate for all the dirt, build up and nasty stuff in the hair. It's cheaper to just buy the bentonite clay. Apple cider vinegar and baking soda is also a good choice to replace shampoo...or just go all organic shampoo.

Nothing. Water ought to be enough, when it's exceptionally dirty use salt water and it should be very clean afterwards. When I was on vacation in Africa I tended to skip the soap because the salt in the water cleans the hands very well.

How about sand? Sand and mud should do the same job yes? Or is it something special with the mud molecule-wise?

Have you stopped to wash your hair at all ( even only with water ) or just to use shampoo?

Just with shampoo ofc? The hair gets dirty whatever you do, gotta wash it. And I haven't stopped using shampoo but only use it 50% of the times I shower now, (I shower 2-3 times a week now with my broken foot, got plaster from the toes to the knee so showering is a hell), my hair is a bit fatter but time will make the body adapt to that.

It's because you have used it so much that your body think it needs it. You've developed a tolerance for shampoo, just as one do when using chapsticks.

I don't think the benefits of not using shampoo come close to the benefits of using shampoo.

Please tell me the benefits of using it at all - been thinking about this a lot lately and if it wasn't because our parents used it on us when we were young perhaps we wouldn't need it at all? I've asked a lot of people I know and nobody seems to know why we use shampoo.

I think he is talking about manjuice I am not one for not trying new stuff... Think it would make it messy though and you need to collect quite a bit in order to have enough.
