How many of you are using Shampoo?

[Aggie]

i do on the regular.

in cooler months i poo weekly.

in summer i usually cowash or just rinse daily and poo weekly because i air dry daily in the summer.


ETA: SLS (or some form of sulfate/sulfite) is also in most (not all) conditioners too
ETA more: I also read the article and IMO if SLS contributed to hair loss, we would be losing body hair from the soaps and body washes we use b/c they too contain SLS.....

Hmmm, this is interesting right there... Why aren't we losing hairs from places like under the arms, legs, etc, for me that would be great. Maybe I need to bath 4 or 5 times a day for it to work in those areas. By the way, our main concern should be more so the sodium or ammonium lauryl sulfates and not so much the sodium or ammonium laureth sulfates. The lauryls are wayyy harsher than the laureths. I steer clear of lauryl sulfates except when I'm clarifying my hair which BTW is about every 3 - 4 weeks sometimes longer.

I voted sometimes. I'm trying to be more intuitive with my hair and use poo when I feel like I need it. Usually once a month or so.

Is it possible for us to start building a list of Shampoos and Conditioners that DO NOT contain the dreaded S-L-S:burning:

I wash 2x per week with NTM Cream Lather Shampoo. Here are the ingredients:
Water , Sodium Trideceth Sulfate , Sodium Lauroamphoacetate , Sodium Chloride , Cocamide MEA , Meadowfoam Seed Oil Limnanthes Alba , Olive Fruit Oil Olea Europaea , Panthenyl Ethyl Ether , Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate , Polyquaternium-7 , Amodimethicone , Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride , Castor Isostearate Succinate , Dimethiconol , Sweet Almond Oil Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis , Phenoxyethanol , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Cetyl Alcohol , Guar Gum Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba , Citric Acid , TEA Dodecylbenzenesulfonate , Fragrance

Should I be worried???

[Lexib]

I put too many products in my hair not to use shampoo. But I only wash 1x a week.

[Crysdon]

Same here.

In the summer, use shampoo once or twice a week. The other days just conditioner.
In the winter I use shampoo and conditioner once a week.

[oooop2]

My scalps NEEDS shampoo. After joining the hair forums, I don't use a lot (more like a nickle size). And I am sticking to CD Rosemary Mint only b/c it leaves my scalp feeling great. I tried using no-poo and just co-washing w/condish, but my scalp felt like an itchy M-E-S-S Mess..Drove me NUTS erplexed

 

[LadyKaypnyc]

I use SLS free shampoos once in a blue. Mostly, I clarify with baking soda and ACV

 

[cici22]

I use shampoo once or twice a week and co-wash on all other days.

 

[cecilie]

I use CON (without sulfate )once a week since my last relaxer two weeks ago .

 

[chocolatethai]

I also use NTM, and am wondering the same thing. It would be really awesome if we could get a resource list of the shampoos and conditioners that DO NOT contain the dreaded SLS. erplexed

[danigurl18]

I faithfully use my NTM every week!! I love it!!

 

[Energist]

Shampoo and conditioner both.

 

[winnettag]

i use shampoo bars, gentle & all natural! i try to wash once a week, but sometimes it's once every two weeks. other than that, i'm co-washing with natural conditioners.

 

[LadyEuphoria007]

I shampoo weekly or when I feel I need too.

I have moisture, clarifying, chelating, and protein shampoos.

I CW most of the time though.

 

[Cichelle]

I use a gentle shampoo 2-3 times a week.

 

[yellow08]

I use shampoo...I just make sure it is sulfate free and that's about it!

 

[AshMoBev]

You Know... shampoo just gives me that squeeky clean feel. LITERALLY!....Whats funny is that after going back and forth between different shampoos and conditioners (that were often quite costly) the simple and cheap White Rain shampoo and conditioner work excellently for me!!! I think though, after all I have read and learned about co-washing, that I should give it a try. And summer is a great time to start since it's dryer and i tend to do a lot of swimming....

Are you using Shampoo or just strictly conditioner?

ETA: F.Y.I Good article on SLS: http://www.hairlossbuddy.com/20/sodium-lauryl-sulfate/
Has anyone heard about mouthwash and vodka and how they are great for getting crap off your scalp? Umm I dunno, but I just read that in the above link.

I think that sounds wayyyy toooooo extreme , not something i'd consider trying I don't think

 

[GeorginaSparks]

i shampoo once a week or once every 2 weeks. depends on how my hair feels.
