What's your best "don't knock it till you try it" thing?

Ew not washing it for six weeks? I mean I'm from Oregon, but I'm not at kind of hippie.

LOL. I thought I'd check because I saw some celebrity hairdresser on TV talking about he hadn't used shampoo on his hair in years, shampoo is bad, etc. I wrote that off, but I wondered if there was more to it!

I wash my hair every other day, and I agree with you.

I read about something called the "no-poo" movement. The premise is your hair will look great and be healthier than ever if you stop using shampoo- following a 4 week adjustment period. I don't think I could handle the 4 week adjustment period

Is that Wen? I have a couple friends who use it and one gave me some to try. I haven't tried it yet, though.

I don't think so... I think most people participating in no-poo only use baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

They reviewed some of the TV infomercial products on the Today Show Th or F this week. Wen got a "3 out of 3" ranking. They said it worked great, but it doesn't lather so it takes some getting used to.

I had to use some kind of skin treatment for my head for a while and could wash my hair with anything other than water for two weeks. Since then, I don't really need to wash my hair more often than once every 5 days, it doesn't get greasy anymore (I don't use product usually). If I wash it every day, or every other day it gets all dry and weird now.
