Shampoo help!!

DancingMoosie

My hair gets dry in the winter. I wet it a little and oil it with Africa's Best hair oil(from Walmart) at night before a wash day. I generally wash M/W/F. You could also try using just conditioner, preferably one without "cones"...VO5 has some good ones. Just use the conditioner as you would shampoo, you can dilute it if necessary.

I don't use shampoo and my hair is wavy and has never felt thicker or healthier since going no poo. If that's not for you then it's truly just trial and error anyway. What works for someone else may or may not work for you. It's all relative to each person or head of hair. Good luck!

What do you use instead? Genuinely curious as my hair is horrible and I’ve yet to find something to make it manageable for me

Many people find that after a few weeks of not washing at all besides water their hair seems to be doing quite well. Others wash with conditioner only, no shampoo. Theres no way I could stand either myself, but if it works for someone else, more power to them.
On the other hand, the rest of my body is super sensitive to soaps, and unless I am particularly sticky or dirty, I usually only use mild soap in the areas that get sweaty,, and a good daily rinse off works well everywhere else without drying me out. I am lucky though, because I am not prone to getting sweaty or strong BO. My daughter on the other hand..... poor kid has an overactive adrenal gland and has had to use deoderant and clarifying shampoo since she was little.

I have naturally curly hair that wants to be dry & frizzy. I use suave shampoo with moroccan oil and the matching conditioner. Before styling, I use a leave in conditioner mixed with moroccan oil. It seems like the conditioners, both regular and leave-in are the key to keeping my hair from becoming dry & frizzy.

I have fine naturally curly (and coloured hair)
I only use no poo cleaners maybe once a week if my hair is really sweaty after a work out. All the other days I wash using a conditioner for curly hair. It’s light enough that it’s also my leave in conditioner too. I buy from deva curl.

It’s not for everyone but my hair loves this routine.
I’ve changed hairdressers a few times after moving countries but they always tell me what good condition my hair is in despite the curls and the coloring.

I've washed my hair daily since I was a teenager & only on occasion can go one day without. It used to get greasy so easily, but now I think it's just a habit/mental thing! It's definitely more on the dry side now being a bit curly.

I generally use keratin or orchid/argon oil shampoo followed by a good conditioner with similar ingredients. When blow drying, I use a protector spray all over & a good leave in conditioner on the ends. Ones that work for me are Bed Head, tresemme, pantene split end repair & once a week I add in John Frieda frizz ease for good measure. If I haven't anywhere to be, I will let my hair dry naturally & even put it into pigtails a couple of times a week so the conditioner gets a really good soak at it.

I've damaged my hair lots over the years with adding highlights in every summer, but it's in the best condition it's ever been just now, I must admit. Another noteworthy thing is I take a good all round woman's supplement which I am sure has a hand in my hair/nail strength....

It's frustrating when your hair doesn't want to play ball so I hope you find a solution that works for you!

I'm a wash every day girl too... too greasy otherwise. (And yes, I've tried most things.)

My go to is Kerastese Discipline sulphate free, and the matching conditioner.
If I use Redken NBD No Blow Dry cream then my hair can air dry and still look awesome.
And specialist shampoo if I swim to get the chlorine out properly.

Taken me years to feel like I have good hair even sometimes!

I have wavy hair that breaks and frizzes easily, but a greasy scalp so washing daily is a requirement. I find that a leave-in conditioner is helpful. Aussie also makes a mousse that has leave-in conditioner in it, which is nice for ponytails and dry weather.
