I did this trial for 3 months after a month long bushwalking trip got me through the worst period. But TBH with fine fairly straight hair it looked pretty average on me, to the point one of my GF just straight up told me it was pretty awful. I now only use natural shampoos and conditioners and only wash every 3 days (my hair copes fine) but I rinse it every day. You can find products with:
no sodium lauryl suplhate
no petrochemicals
no artificial fragrances
no harsh detergents
no animal products or derivatives
no harmful chemical and
no parabens.
which are very gentle and do the trick if you want to take a different path.
My friend who has thick red, curly, frizzy hair loves the 'no poo'' technique and her hair looks great.
I have curly hair and I think the best thing is to let it go for at least a week in between washes.... I haven't gone no poo yet, but I have contemplated it... I've even thought about using the vinegar and bi-carb hair diet....
I use Modern Organic Products and they are chemical free, paraban free, SLS free, and animal friendly.
For anybody else who is interested in environmentally-conscious, vegan, paraben-free (and so much more) products, Goth Rosary makes amazing products, from shampoos to candles to hand sanitiser to massage oils - they are handmade, smell delicious and the service never, ever leaves anything to be desired. The prices are exceptionally low for the quality of the products, and the smells really do last all day, unlike other products that make the claim, but fade within an hour or two.
The shipping costs at the moment are a little bit expensive due to the Aussie dollar being so useless, but the lovely lady who is behind it all is adamant that her customers come first and prices will go back to normal as soon as everything stabilises.
I highly recommend her products so google 'Goth Rosary' and check her stuff out. You can buy a scent sample pack before ordering anything substantial to make sure you are getting something you will love - my personal favourites are 'Dervish' (smells like those pink musk lollies), 'Fairy Wings', 'Vexing', and a few others.
That explains it then .... since having DS 13 months ago I'm lucky to wash my hair once a week and it has never looked in better condition. I guess it all makes sense.
