Do you still shampoo your hair?

[ajoyfuljoy]

I put herbal shampoo on my scalp and I scrunch CON into the length of my hair. This happens once a week. I am a die hard shampoo fan.

 

[MummysGirl]

I shampoo once every 4 weeks now I used to shampoo once a week until I finally got cowashing right early this year

I cowash 3 - 4 times a week.

 

[bumblb87]

Ive probably used it twice in the past 4 months.....I dont like it anymore after only cowashing for so long but I bought a big container of Creme of Nature shampoo for some reason (it was my first time in Sallys and I went a lil crazy) so Im trying to use it....I think Ill eventually end up only using conditioner.... haven't had any problems

 

[LoveLiLi]

Yes. 1-2 times per week. I tried to cowash only and also used baking soda and acv rinses occasionally, but I prefer shampoo.

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.

ITA. I tried so many times to cowash only but I couldn't take the thick build up I would get on my scalp. My scalp didn't smell to pretty either.

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

Isn't that poo just the best! It's labeled as a clarifying poo but it's sulfate free and has a pH of 4.5-5.5. It'll knock any build up on my scalp right out after one lather. For some reason this stuff is more gentle on my hair than some moisturizing poos. I use it once a week and cowash whenever I feel the need during the week. I wish I could nix shampoo all together though.

I think I will always shampoo once a week. But now I use non-sulfate shampoos

 

[jazzyto]

I like shampoo better than cowashing and cleansing conditioner. I just try to use mild sulfate, no sulfate or dilute the poo.

 

[Pooks]

Just adding, I always concentrate the shampoo on my scalp only, and only use AO / Giovanni shampoos which don't contain sulfates. The most important change in my shampooing regimen since starting my HHJ is that shampoo never touches my hair unless immediately followed by a DC.

 

[SherylsTresses]

I must shampoo weekly since I use conditioner as a daily moisturizer on dry hair.

 

[Desarae]

Yes I do, every week faithfully.

 

[dlewis]

I still poo. Only my scalp though.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

yes i do, on every wash. i have to because it seems like dc'ing leaves an itchy buildup on my scalp.♥

Co-washer here! Will use shampoo every couple of months or so to make sure my scalp is v clean. I don't think I've used shampoo since September?

 

[ChristmasCarol]

I use baking soda once every 3 weeks and I've only used shampoo for a BKT treatment. I water rinse and cowash quite a bit, but haven't experienced any build-up issues. I gave up shampoo a long time ago and my hair now looks and feels better.

ETA: I don't use leave-ins, etc.

 

[Highly Favored8]

Yes, once every 2 weeks.

 

[ceebee3]

I shampoo every week, my hair loves it!

 

[ebonimama]

No, I rinse with ayurvedic powders, then I co-wash with CON (purple label). I use a clarifying shampoo maybe once a month.

 

[lusciousladie07]

I do about every two weeks but I recently bought some Bentonite clay and maybe using that instead.

 

[imaccami]

I always shampoo. I tried co-washing but my scalp never felt clean and was itchy. So, now I only shampoo and never co-wash.

 

[Allandra]

Yes, I still shampoo my hair (still dilute it - in a nozzle bottle).

 

[onyxmin]

I tried to only co wash but the buildup was unbearable. Not only did I see my scalp look terrible, I felt it itch like crazy. I shampoo biweek but co wash once a week.

 

[onelove08]

I use Dr Bronnners. Regular shampoos (organic or regular) make my scalp itch.

 

[lalaland88]

I train (martial arts) a whole lot!! and when I'm don't my scalp and hair is drenched, I look like I've taken a shower. So, i just feel cleaner when I wash it. My scalp doesn't itch or anything, but I just feel better.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

yes, every week

 

[MoniintheMiddle]

Nope! Co-wash for me. I'm transitioning and shampooing was not helping at all.

 

[KhandiB]

Yep, every wash

 

[danigurl18]

I shampoo either with CON Red or Aveda DR

 

[Stella B.]

I still shampoo once every 10 days or so with a sulfate free shampoo. I need to start using my shikakai bar more often.

 

[destine2grow]

While in braids or sew-in I shampoo once a week. Other wise I shampoo twice a week.
