In my experience, this does not work.
I gave up on shampoo for about a month and a half, but I still used conditioner. I never used soap on my body when showering to begin with, except for ahem the bottom area.
It actually worked for a little while; the conditioner dissolved the grease out of my hair (like dissolves like). But then for about a week my hair was determined to stay greasy and no amount of conditioner would get it out. So I gave up and started using shampoo again.
There's a reason that in the old days everyone wore hats or bonnets regularly.
- grourk 16y agoConditioner is meant to restore the moisture to your hair that shampoo takes. It makes sense that by only using conditioner your hair felt greasy.
- araneae 16y agoConditioners are designed to completely wash out of your hair with just water. It wasn't that the conditioner wasn't getting washed out, it was that at some point it was insufficient to deal with the grease issue. At least it makes a whole lot more sense than trying to wash your hair with just water, which is completely incapable of getting rid of grease.
- oscardelben 16y agoI think the point of the experiment is to get rid of all chemicals. Like for shampoo, you don't know what the effects of the conditioner are, and what would happen to your hair.
- araneae 16y agoWell obviously I wasn't following his experiment. It was from a book on how to deal with my particular kind of hair (which is rather difficult).
- colanderman 16y agoIn that case it's pretty disingenuous of you to claim that "In my experience, this does not work," seeing as you did not, in fact, experience this.
- patorjk 16y agoMy hair gets really greasy if I don't wash it with shampoo. That would be my one concern if I were to try this experiment. From what the article was saying, I got the impression that the body evens everything out, but I'm not sure if his hair behaves the same ways as mine. This experiment probably only works well for a certain subset of people.
