How many of you are using Shampoo?

[Alisha08]

I use shampoo and a lot of it. lol I use Mizani conditioning shampoo and i like that a lot, but before that i use Selsen (sp?) Blue for my dry scalp and dandruff. So the conditioning shampoo really helps after the harsh selsen blue. Goodness i don't think i'm spelling that right! lol Selsun, Selsen, Selsin......

I shampoo my hair twice a week. The first w/ Aveda damaging line if Im just airdrying, braidout or wash and go. Then Aveda smooth infusion when I am rollersetting. I work out so I need something to cleanse my scalp. And since its only twice a week I dont think thats too bad...IMO

Wow ladies, thanks for the responses. See it pays to ask. I thought most of you all were just co washing but the poll reveals otherwise. I have been trying the no shampoo thing since the start of this thread. I currently have these twists in my head so I can only judge the results by my roots. So far I don't know if it's the BT or the co washing only but my roots look alot thicker. But I am just experimenting with this for a month.

Thanks for the replies!

Your hair is beautiful! Have you tried Keracare dry itchy scalp? I think that its relitively gentle yet effective against getting rid of dandruff/dry scalp.

 

[HoneyA]

I do both. Alternate every three days. Works for me...

 

[Britt]

I poo about 2x a week. I prefer even lathering once with a gentle poo than cw'ing.

 

[Lavendar]

I poo twice a week. I never co-wash. I get mushy really quickly when I co-wash and then comes breakage and extra shedding. Can't do it.

 

[KhandiB]

I use poo once a week and then Baking Soda to Clarify

 

[mercedes826]

I shampoo once a week. I try to cowash once a week.

 

[InnerSoul]

Shampooing twice a week helps keep my hair moisturized and scalp clean...Conditioner washes are okay but makes my scalp more prone to build up and the itchies. Sulfates shampoos are no bother to me... I used to collect shampoos...so I have some with sulfates and a couple without.

 

[Starr1]

I co wash twice a week and use baking soda to clarify every couple of months. I use Giovanni 50/50 and because it's organic it doesn't build up on my hair.

Thanks a lot honii, i try. lol But no i haven't tried the Keracare dry itchy scalp, but i may though, it sounds like a plan. Usually i just stick with harsh old Selsen or T-Gel (which i like better, it seems milder). So i might give it a try. Thanks!

Hold The Phone!!!

That is some gorgeous hair you got there !

[Seeking8Rights]

I wash with shampoo every week. I use Aveda. BUT I just bought my first SLS poo Kerastase Oleo Relax which I happily going to try.

Co-washing just causes build up on my hair. Not good.

 

[Ebony Majesty]

I shampoo weekly... I need to, otherwise my hair won't behave properly

 

[LaNecia]

My hair HATES regular shampoos (never except for my neutralizing poo after a retouch). The only ones I would consider would be Creme of Nature, NTM and Elucence's (the one that smells like peaches).

I use my herbal washes (2-3 times a week) and my hair is very happy with those.

 

[sowhut]

Shampoo leaves my hair dry and hard-ish so i only use it once or twice a month and even then i dilute it with water. i feel like i'm supposed to shampoo so i'm still looking for a extremely gentle yet moisturizing one.

 

[Str8~Curly]

I use Burt Bee's More Moisture Brazil Nut and Raspberry shampoo. My hair and scalp needs shampoo. I think this shampoo is pretty good at removing build-up

 

[Artemis]

I shampoo 1-2x/week. I like the feeling of a clean scalp. When I was natural I would co wash daily and wash once a week.

 

[tschizum]

I can't imagine not using shampoo I have to get rid of all the build up, but just using conditioner has worked great for some folks on here.

 

[tschizum]

Vodka! Ha ha one shot for me one for my scalp ...

 

[taj]

I use a moisturizing shampoo once per week and a clarifying shampoo 1 week prior to a re-touch.

Too funny!

[youwillrise]

i'm using blended beauty's volcanic clean mask to cleanse my hair.
i also add baking soda to the mix for extra cleansing.

but i dont use regular shampoo anymore

 

[yodie]

I primarily CW. My hair does better with this. Sometimes I'll add a little shampoo to my conditioner, but of course, I have to get a good shampoo going on at least once every 10 days.

I used to shampoo my hair three times per wash. No wonder my hair was extremely dry AND I used any ole type of shampoo.

 

[Energee]

I have to use shampoo. It's just routine for me. I have to use really good moisturizing ones. I love the ones from Aveda, Abba and Elucence. I sometimes use good protein based ones too if my hair needs it.

I haven't gotten into conditioner only washes yet..but who knows. I may try it for a period of time to see if there is any significant difference.

 

[Legend]

I use shampoo every other wash because of its surfactant properties to keep my pores clean. I don't over-shampoo, but it performs in ways conditioner--which is designed for use on the hair, not the scalp--cannot as far as cleaning my scalp. That said, water pressure and friction created by scalp manipulations go a long way, which is why I don't shampoo every time I wash.

 

[angellazette]

Currently I do. Before I only shampoo'd if I had Blended Beauty's Soy Cream Shampoo on hand (and that was only one bottle!). Now that I've discovered Aveda, I've been pooing.
