Does anyone here like the way the hair feels and looks after it hasnt been washed for maybe 3-4 days? The times when I wash my hair with shampoo it gets all poofy and if I use conditioner it curls up and feels greesy and unnatural. The only problem is some people may think im a dirty bum, which they already do since I have long hair. Is there anyway I can have it look like this without having to wait a couple of days? This brings me to the question of is shampooing hair really necassary? I really hate it and would rather just use plain water but people keep telling me Ill go bald and stuff. Anyone know the truth about this?
What conditioner are you using? Most conditioners do not leave a greasy coating on the hair. Most people need better cleaning than you get with plain water.
Any conditioner, I hate that silky feeling it leaves. I like the feel or hair thats soft and lays flat, not all that extra crap that conditioners do like "volumizing" and what not. And I dont understand what you mean by needing a better cleaning plan, I thought that hair washing was just something people did do smell nice. Not washing with shampoo seemed to be working for people up untill maybe 200 years ago.
Ick. I mean, uh, go for it.
Ha ha, make sure you rinse all the conditioner out 100% or else it does feel pretty nasty. And for most "normal" (but what is normal anyway?) people, greasy hair is going to be a turn off, but you can always go move to a hippy commune and be groovy with all the other natural brothas and sistas ;) But in our sterilized world today, sadly, I just don't think you can really get away with not washing. I hear you, though; we live in a very closed minded society. Peace.
I've taken to washing my hair once a week now with just shampoo, and have allowed my hair to partition itself into locks once more (as some of you know, I used to have dreadlocks). I'm through fighting with my hair now. I'm not going to make it form dreadlocks, but I'm just pulling apart seperate clumps, and they're starting to lock up on their own (I've got about five already on the back of my head).
For yourself Helgast, I'd say just try it. At worst, it won't work for you and you'll need to wash it. Just a note though, don't go straight from washing every 2 days to not washing at all. . .go 3 days, 5 days, a week, etc without washing. .to let your scalp adjust to the different schedule.
If memory serves me, you have curly hair, correct? If you're interested in some more info specifically on curly hair, just email me at kevin@thatballguy.com
Good luck man.
