Does any one know about the effects of not using shampoo to cure frizzy hair?

I read in several places that not using shampoo, but doing the motions in the shower as if you had used it, allows your body to make the natural oils that will help tame frizzy hair. Apparently the theory is that when you shampoo you are stripping natural oils from your hair, and that actually damages it more. I'm not sure, but I think I may try it. If any one knows about it, or has tried it, please tell me about the pros and cons of it, because the website I looked at only told me about the positive affects, but I'm just trying to make sure there are no bad affects.Does any one know about the effects of not using shampoo to cure frizzy hair?
I only shampoo once a week...





I use conditioner EVERY shower and massage my scalp as if I were washing with shampoo though...





I have discovered that in the winter, when I get REALLY dry hair, you can use a small dab of the Gel Baby Oil with what I normally do and it helps a LOT.Does any one know about the effects of not using shampoo to cure frizzy hair?
I have curly hair, and i usually shampoo around once a week depending on how fast it gets greasy. I usually condition every day too. I haven't noticed any bad effects, my hair does seem to be healthier since i started doing this...and it looks great too =) I'd definitely go for it!
Your hair will be greasy and oily If it's not washed with SOMETHING.





You can try that product ';WEN'; - I haven't yet, But I may do so after the holidays. It's supposed to keep all of the natural oils in your hair.






well that sounds a little strange. and everyonehas frizzy hair. i use fructis spray hair gel and all u do is spray a little on ur hair and its not really that frizzy. u just need to use product....and if u dont use shampoo ur hair isnt going to look nice or smell nice....
I wouldn't stop using shampoo completely. Maybe use it less, like every other time. I think using something that would condition your hair would work better than using just water. ';City water'; by itself has chemicals and can cause damage.
I have never heard of that but also if you dry your hair with a terry cloth towel it increases frizz. I use a t-shirt to wrap my hair in after a shower.
no dude ur hair will get greasy and nasty


so get a special shampoo and strong conditioner for frizzy hair and there are serums and treatments too.


condition every day and use shampoo every other day
i cant tell you personally but my sister has tried it she said the bad part is your hair will be a little more knotted will get greasy a little faster





but does work!



well you dont get frizzy hair if u dont wash it but what helped me if anti frizz garnier fructis
it works i have very frizzy hair and it worked for me!!
As a former hairstylist, I can tell you that hair frizz is probably attributed to your hair texture as opposed to your way of grooming. To minimize frizz, shampoo once. Use cool water in your final rinse and keep ends trimmed every 4 to six weeks on average.Some pomades an serums help to minimize the appearance of frizz but because they coat the hair shaft, you might have to shampoo frequently which would defeat your purpose. As for the ';shampoo motion technique'; its slightly feasible that it could work only in that it would stimulate your oil glands which could help with the frizzies. FYI, straight hair is straight because of a round shaped hair follicle, wavy is due to an oval shaped one and extra curly like mine is due to a flat shaped follicle. Thats what makes the differences in hair textures between the races.
Commercial shampoo contains detergents that are petroleum-based to cut grease. This strips the hair of all natural oils, especially if you have been trained to shampoo every day.





Then, conditioner is applied to ';replace'; the oils you just stripped away, but your hair is already fried.





You can wash every other day, and the other days just go through the motions to distribute your own oils throughout your hair. Or you can go to the natural stores and buy something called Liggett's Bar Shampoo. It is very mild an plant-derived, so you might find that you don't even need to condition. I have used it for years, and I do not get split ends.





The natural ingredients are better for the environment, too, and were not tested on animals, I believe.
There's a reason people wash their hair. Washing hair without shampoo might work for like a week, but after that your hair is going to get really oily. Stuff also gets into your hair, and if you aren't getting it out, it will probably cause your hair to tangle.





If you are still using a conditioner, and the conditioner has silicones in it, the silicone forms a layer over your hair every time you condition it, and it doesn't allow water to the hair shaft. If the hair shaft gets no water for too long, it will get very brittle, so you need to do a clarifying wash (you can do this by mixing 1 part vinegar to three parts water and pouring it over your hair) or else switch to a very light conditioner that doesn't leave any residue.





Something you can try instead of quitting washing completely is to cover the ends of your hair (from about 4 inches down from the scalp) in conditioner, and then wash ONLY your roots with shampoo, then condition ALL of your hair after you wash it. That works real well for my hair, which is reeeeal frizzy and damaged, but takes a lot of time, so I just wash the roots of my hair only, and then condition all of it real well.





A good website for haircare is www.longhaircommunity.com. The people there are dedicated to growing their hair very long (like past their butt usually), but in order to do that you have to have VERY healthy hair, so that's a good place to go for advice on keeping hair looking nice.
