I've been reading more and more about the benefits of not shampooing:

What benefits do YOU see in YOUR hair from not shampooing?
How do you keep your hair from getting greasy?
Ever use conditioner?

Anything else you want to tell me about how you wash your hair?

TIA!

i definitely only shampoo my hair about once a week, but i condition every time i shower (about 5x a week). i have pretty naturally dry/frizzy hair, and i've noticed that every time i shampoo (and i've tried a LOT of different shampoos to try and quell this), my hair gets VERY dry and frizzy afterwards and usually means a bad hair day for me. it takes a lot for my hair to get greasy, so usually the weekly shampoo gets rid of any conditioner/product build-up i might have before it gets gross. i just make sure not to use too heavy of a conditioner (right now i'm digging garnier fructis -- i was using pantene pro-v before that and found i needed to shampoo my hair a little more often because of the aforementioned grease factor).

hope that helps in some way!

I only shampoo every few days and have noticed that since I went from every day, I swear my head produces less oil. I also use conditioner every day and shower 7+ times a week.

I have to shampoo like once a week- yay for psorsais (horrible spelling, sorry) to get the oils out from that. I condition every day. if I don't ahve to put oil in my hair then I'll shampoo once a week and condition every single day. My hair has gotten softer and I think more culy since doing without the shampoo.

I tried not using shampoo for almost a month, and there was a constant itchy film on my scalp that was disgusting. I don't know if I use too much product for that to be a good plan for me, but my curls always look crappy if I go without shampooing. I pretty much go against everything advised in that curly girl book.
