        Nah that’s just what Maybelline want you to think, and you do think it, so they have won.

        I haven’t used shampoo on my long hair that is mid back length now. It’s not at all greasy. It was for a month when I had short hair and gave up on shampoo.

        Also I no longer have dandruff and my hair is more manageable, so I don’t need product in my hair either.

        I “shampoo” with conditioner once a week and just use hot water the rest of the time.

        Waste your money on shampoo though, I don’t care.

          That sounds disgusting no matter how many times you want to say it’s actually not that bad. I will fall for big Shampoo propaganda because I don’t want to feel extremely gross. That’s why I get my advice from people irl with healthy hair. I also suggest telling this to your barber next time you get a haircut.

            Sure. I would have agreed before I knew better. To think you know better without experience though is pure ignorance. You can ignore people wit experience and keep listening to marketing all you want though. Whatever.

            Also, my barbers always comment on how healthy my hair is and ask how I do it, and it takes very little effort to do (negative effort considering I’m removing something else).

            Ok thanks for your baseless opinion. I’ll bare it mind when I care very little about what you think.

        Nah you don’t, I didn’t use it for a long time and my hair was great! There’s a period after you stop where your hair is greasy, yes, but after ~a month it settles down a lot. You still need to wash it with hot water but, if anything, in my experience it was more resilient to missing a day of washing than it is now that I’m using shampoo/conditioner again.

        Edit: I should say though this is probably not for everyone. Depends on your hair type and how healthy your scalp is.

            Why? I’ve known several people who do this, it’s totally fine. I’m sure for some people it would leave you with really greasy hair, but otherwise what’s the issue? It doesn’t smell or anything if that’s your concern.

            You still wash your hair. It just produces far less oil because you aren’t stripping it (and then replacing it with another product). My hair is healthier than ever since I stopped using shampoo, but it still gets washed plenty. I wash with conditioner about once a week and wash with water every day.

            You’ve been told you need to shampoo and that that’s normal, but it isn’t. It’s just a way to sell a product which also requires you to buy another product to reverse the damage it did (unless you want unhealthy hair).

                My hygiene is rather good actually. You could stop insulting people when you have no information. That would be nice. Instead you think your uninformed opinion is better than my (and other’s) informed opinions.

                How do you even have an opinion of this without experience? Why do you even care? Just accept that other people have more knowledge through actual experience than you.

                Did you know that most of the cleaning action of hand washing is from just rubbing your hands together under water? Soap improves this, but if you don’t have soap you can still effectively clean your hands by just doing the action under water. I’m not eating or grabbing doorknobs with my hair, so I’m not too bothered with it not being as clean as possible (regardless, not 100%). I’ll accept slightly more bacteria that isn’t causing any issue for much healthier hair.
