Going "no 'poo"

I watched a beauty talk show the other day and the host said it's healthy to wash your hair with eggs, raw mashed eggs. She laso mentioned that the results are a shiny glossy hair. I tried washing my hair with raw eggs for a week, but I washed my hair only every other day (sunday, tuesday, thursday...). The results were not as expected. Ever since I stick to regular shampoos, all these 'natural remedy' are not for me. Maybe they work for other people. As for shampoos, I choose them by smell, they are all the same chemicals.

I seen a commercial on tv for a product called Wen. Apparently its all natural and is not a shampoo. Alot of celebrities endorse it. I am not sure how much it costs, but if you really want to go the no shampoo route, its worth looking in to. Here is a link to check it out..... http://www.wenhaircare.ca

The glands in your scalp should normally and naturally supply enough oil to keep your hair supple and healthy. Unfortunately, the natural oils also attract dust and dirt, so hair needs washing. Problems really only arise when the scalp either produces too much or too little natural oil. For most people, it should really be possible to keep the hair clean and in good condition by washing it in plain water but sometimes a little soap (or other kind of detergent) may be needed to help release the dust and dirt from the hair. There are many plants which contain natural saponins and which have been traditionally used for washing. One which I was shown as a child is called, in England, Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) but it can cause eye irritation. There are many other plants which are definitely good for the hair and which will either remove excess oils or supplement the natural oils and keep the hair supple and shiny. Rosemary is one of these. Certain proteins are also known to strengthen the hair shaft and provide more 'body'. This is why egg white, in particular, has often been used in traditional hair treatments for thousands of years.

Oh my no...I have always used shampoo. I have to wash my hair most everyday. I guess it is more out of habit than need though. I have heard that women who wash their hair once a week really have very nice hair. I guess it would depend on the amount of product that a person uses on their hair too. If someone used mousse or hairspray, they would certainly have to wash more than others. Strenuous jobs or jobs in a place that has a smell...that would prompt more washing too. I use Herbal Essence on my hair. The gentle kind that says you can use it everyday. My hair just doesn't look or feel right to me if I don't wash it..lol.

I have gone without washing my hair for a few weeks when I was eating a really clean diet, with very little fats or oils. As soon as I started adding oils and fats into my diet again, I needed to start washing it again. My wife actually went for six months without washing her hair. Once she got through the initial shock of it, the hair sorted itself out without needing washing.
