yes, they said that they will dry up you scalp.. i usually use shampoo daily... but there are times, specially when i dont really go out, that i dont use shampoo.. and that i noticed that if i dont use shampoo my hair is somehow oily.. so the natural oils come out from the scalp...

I am not sure about that. I've been using shampoo every day for years, because my hair gets greasy fast, so there is no other way but to use the shampoo on a daily basis for me. I haven't noticed any damage or problems with my hair, so I think that it's not that harmful as people think it is.

in our generaton right now that theres too many dust from the street and dirt then i guess we need to shampoo our hair to make it clean unlike before during our grandparents era that theres not that much pollution, dirt nor dust around. of course shampoo is not enough so you need to nourish your hair with conditioner together with your shampoo and hot oil once a month.

Its really depends what kind of shampoo you use and the texture of your hair... the usual cause of falling hair with shampoo are those with low moisturizers, of course conditioners can augment this... in colder weathers, its best to use conditioners more often because of the relatively high humidity which restricts the natural sebaceous glands from opening due to the cold temperature... thus failing to protect the hair from the humidity... some shampoo (especially the heavily perfumed ones) will irritate the skull and cause scaling, this weakens the hair root, thus, causing long and heavy hair strands to fall more often... your pics show a very healthy hair, I don't see any cause of worry in your part.

You can buy shampoo for "frequent" use. I use this and I wash my hair every one or two days with no problems.
