So near the end of 2017 I tried no shampoo and was completely disgusted. Read here first:
I Didn't Wash My Hair For 32 Days. Here Is What Happened(no Shampoo)
I have changed my opinion.
I did another trial of 101 DAYS of no shampoo before I had to wash it for an in person meeting I couldnt attend remotely this past week.
What a major difference compared to the first go around.
My hair was way more dry and less waxy, unnoticeable in public too. A quick brush to distribute my own oil and it was fine.
The same shampoo wash was a natural product, it foamed way easier and my hair washed and rinsed so much easier. What a huge difference. I will say my scalp was starting to get a little itchy and I had a tendency to pick at it here and there.
Some major differences compared to the original post:
-My prolactin went from probably 18-25 to an 8
- My cortisol was a normalish curve, im guessing that when all my issues started it wasnt
- I was getting sun as much as possible
- Walking daily
- I doubled my vitamin D
- I limited my weight training to 1 easy, short workout per week
- Sex 2-3 times a week but nofap otherwise
- cypro .5 to 1mg here and there
- basically full peating as a trial at this point
- 100g liver about every 6 days
To be honest, this time, Id absolutely do it again, my scalp was actually clean - and I never thought this was possible. You definitely need to shampoo in some cases. My skin quality on my scalp could be better but my thyroid health is even worse now which is why I eliminated serious weight training for the time being.
I do think that a wash like once a month can limit build up if its bad, but brushing is huge for breaking up and distributing whatever natural sebum you have being introduced
I am very surprised at the difference the addition of protective walking and the deletion of intense weight training can make.
