Thread: Do you poo, conditioning scam

But what ofurban legends of people who shun shampoo all together? Advocates of the “no-poo” method argue that as shampoo strips the hair of natural oils, the scalp responds by creating generate more sebum and making the hair greasier.

By using water and natural substitutes, the scalp apparently reaches a sebum equilibrium.

Lucy Aitken, who works in the charity sector and penned Happy Hair: The Definitive Guide to Giving Up Shampoo, said that after a period of having lank “smelly” hair for a few weeks, she cleans her hair with water and an egg or bicarbonate of soda every fortnight, according to The Telegraph.

So, whether you opt for ditching the shampoo and cracking an egg on your head, or washing your hair more often is down to you.
