Here is an article from MSNBC about how not using shampoo can actually be good for your hair.

I guess the author has been

spying on us!

They even mentioned ACV rinses!

I'm surprised, actually. I rarely see articles like this that aren't tongue in cheek, or start out sounding like they're announcing a new lineup at a Coney Island Carnival.

"Sssstep right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on our latest attraction! She's savage, she's fierce, she's DIRTY, she's.... the woman who doesn't use shampoo!"

[hissss....]

Wow this time I think they FINALLY got it. I find it very humerous that they think this is a "new" concept

Interesting read, but I won't be ditching shampoo. Not in my line of work

Jeeesh

That's a laugh, I remember seeing a sort of documentary movie about not washing hair and not washing at all and the bad side effect of all the commercial hygiene products... I don't recall it's name though...

Isn't it great to see stuff that's used here mentioned in other places? Even if they do act like it's a "new" thing, at least it will get more people thinking about alternative methods!

Oh yeah!

But I do agree with the: "But many dermatologists, including Dr. Wilma Bergfeld of the Cleveland Clinic, are skeptical of the no-poo idea. She's mostly concerned that some might take the idea too far, failing to adequately remove scalp oil and subsequently inviting millions of microbes to a delicious feast. (That's when things can start to get smelly.)"
If people go no poo and do it all wrong, they can end up with quite a hair disaster.

These articles have been popping up a lot lately. Maybe one day I will be able to tell my friends that I was wash my hair once every couple of weeks without them get totally grossed out :P

Oh that's so refreshing to read!

It still won't change much, but if one person converts it's worth it.

Europeans and Australians have a more lax attitude toward shampooing, but in the U.S., the thought of going more than 48 hours without shampoo makes many squirm.

Where does this impression come from? Here at least you're lucky to find people who don't wash every other day.

It is a bit laxer here than in Canada. Most people I knew at school in Canada shampooed (or claimed to do so in order to not seem like a dirty hippy, though what's wrong with hippies escapes me) daily, whereas most people I know here shampoo every other day, but aren't grossed out at the thought of occasionally going every three days.

I think the difference to which the article was referring is that in North America, daily is the norm, and less than every other day is "gross", whilst in Europe every other day is the norm, and less than every three days is "gross".
