Quick Trick for Cleaner Water Only Washes - Just Primal Things

Hi, yes I’m still alive, and yes I’m bringing this blog back! My posts have become quite sporadic, and after reflecting as to why, I’ve realized part of that is due to me wanting to cram a plethora of knowledge into every post to make them as helpful as possible. But when I sit down to write, I feel like I’m about to climb a mountain in order to get the end result I want. It’s daunting. And so I procrastinate, or I take days to finish one post, and that’s not sustainable. I think the only way for me to overcome this is to create shorter posts that I can publish more frequently. I also think it’s important to share other topics that I’m interested in to keep the creative juices flowing between No Poo hair posts. I hope that’s okay with you. ♥

How To Keep Your Hair Clean Between Washes - JPT 750px

In previous posts, I’ve discussed ways you can help slow down your scalp’s natural oil production, including stretching the time between your hair washes. One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, “How can I keep my hair clean between washes if I workout or get sweaty daily?” It’s a good question, and the answer applies to anyone who wants to keep their hair clean between hair washes. This post is all about how to keep your hair and scalp fresh, even after sweating, without doing anything that will interfere with your scalp’s natural oil production.

The best way I can explain this topic is to discuss the benefits you get from washing your hair, and then explain a combination of techniques that simulate washing your hair without requiring a full on hair wash. With these techniques you can still get the benefits of a hair wash (sweat-free/odor-free/clean/healthy scalp), without actually washing your hair or interfering with your scalp’s natural oil production.

I Stopped using Shampoo and got “Next Level” Hair

No More Shampoo??

Tonight I tweeted that I stopped using shampoo on my hair. It’s been 4 weeks, and I’m having the greatest experience with it so far. I’d like to discuss this in more than 140 characters since I got many replies and questions about it, and maybe someone else out there can benefit from hearing my experience.

To be honest, hearing someone say they stopped using shampoo sounds really gross. It sounds like bad hygiene.

And you may be wondering, “Isn’t your hair oily, gross, and smelly?!”

Nope. In fact, it’s the opposite. (I’m shocked, too.)

I heard about the no-shampoo movement from others online. There are a bunch of YouTube videos, beauty blogs, and online communities full of people dedicated to stop using commercial shampoos. Many people go “no poo” for various reasons: they are vegan, they want to train their hair to stop producing as many oils, they want to cure a scalp condition, they want to limit the amount of harsh chemicals going down the drain and into the earth, or they want to avoid harsh chemicals affecting their bodies in unintentional, negative ways. These are all valid reasons, and I respect all of them. However, none of these reasons are why I decided to stop using shampoo.

I decided to stop using shampoo because I wanted truly healthy hair. All of the commercial products that promised they would give me healthy, hydrated, luscious hair just didn’t work, and I learned why: Shampoo is completely unnecessary and ultimately hinders the health of our hair. So I was willing to put down my expensive hair products and try something a little different to reach my healthy hair goal.

At the time of this post, it’s been 4 weeks since I stopped using shampoo, and to my surprise, I have CLEAN, nice smelling, completely low-maintenance, truly healthy hair for the first time in my life. And I’ll never go back. Here’s why:
