I Might NEVER Use Shampoo Again

[bajanplums1]

I have conditioned wash my hair for 2 weeks in a row and I have had salon results that last for 4 days even through heavy rain this past week in NYC. I am now convinced that all shampoos no matter how "moisturizing" has been stripping my hair and making it hard to manage


RESULTS: soft, shiny, smooth hair with body, completely smooth cuticles, no breakage when combing.

My only shampoo: every 2 months??
Extra: Heavy Protein every month via DRC-28

The PICS are in my FOTKI album.

Cool. So what conditioner(s) have you been using for your CO washes? Just curious. Maybe the brand is what helps.

So glad you asked!

My Conditioner Wash Regimen is as follows:
(1) Night Before soak hair with SALERM 21--
(2) Next Morning--Rinse with Warm water
(3) Apply generous amount of: SUPER 10 en 1 CONDITIONER with plastic cap for 15/20 minutes
(4) Rinse hair with lukewarm water
(5) Part hair in 4 sections and apply a thin layer of ELUCENCE MB CONDITIONER into each section, especially ends
(6) Apply KERACARE FOAM WRAP LOTION to each section
(7) Air dry 85%
(8) Blow dry each section
(9) Apply QP ELASTA RECOVERY MOISTURIZER to shaft & B&B Super Lite to ends in each section
(10) Flat Iron roots straight (I am 7 weeks post)
(11) Apply QP ELASTA MANGO BUTTER to ends and add magnetic rollers

I think the point is I am getting nothing but conditioners and water at every stage.

Thanx for the post, i think i'll try this no shampoo thing, my hair seems so0o dry lately I'll do anything (well almost anything) for some freakin moisture in it.

bajanplums1 - are you seeing any breakage from blowdrying frequently?

I think I'd fear that over time there would start to be breakage from the frequent usage of heat.

I would post pics but the batteries for my camera have not been charged.

I absolutely agreeeeeeeee with the no or low poo regimen. SOFT, MOISTURIZED, EASY TO COMB HAIR. My hair used to be hard think brillo pad and i could not comb it dry. the only thing you cant put too much stuff in your hair on daily basis else you get mad build up. now it s always soft. i used Suave poo humectant, it stripped all the moisture out of my hair and left it so dry no amount of cond could make it soft. I'm natural 4b. I might just use shampoo once a month but in general only conditioners every 3 days VO5 (i notice that its only their poos that contain sulfates) or max once a week but my hair loves it so much i itch after 3 days if i dont wash. Only V05 cond so far but i intend to try rene furterer, lazartigue, Frederic Fekkai and for poos once or twice a month i'll use creme of nature green label but i m tempted to try Aubreys.

I use DRC-28. WHen I use it honestly my hair DOES NOT BREAK. My old stylist used to use it on me and my hair was unstoppable. THen one time I went to another stylist who decided she would comb through my wet, past shoulder length, hair with a rattail comb.

I was pissed, but afterwards she said, your hair is fine, but it does not break. DRC really fortifies the hair was continuous use.

Also, i use warm air after air drying a bit and I alos set the flat iron to 3. Check out my updated fotki pics. My hair is smooth and even, and this is 7 weeks post relaxer with no trim.

gon' bajanplums...your hair is unstoppable! i just peeped your album, very nice. And thanks for this post, cause i use lo poo but i admit that i use more than is considered 'low-pooing' i always fear that i'm not cleaning my hair or that i'm not washing away all of the daily moisturizer gunk that i have been using. i'm going to give it a try...i'm going to stop pooing and maybe lo-poo every 2 weeks. I tried it a while back and i got flaky scalp after 3 days but i'm gonna give it one more shot.

thanks again for sharing your results.

I am thinking of adding DRC to my regimen. Do you shampoo after rinsing the DRC out of your hair?

I'm about to do this too, but I won't use a blowdryer at all. I just do a wash and go, and see my results.

your hair is fab. But the texture of my new growth demands a blow dryer. when I am without new growth, I will air dry and rollerset, but once that new growth creeps out, forget about it.

How do you manage your new growth?

Also my hair has no 3 anything. It is straight up 4b.

Thoroughly rinse with warm water and follow up with an excellent moisturizing conditioner. I bought a small bottle of Humecto ($12) just for when I do DRC treatments.
