My nopoo days are over

[optimisticzoomer]

No shampoo since December 2023. Used it twice in the last few weeks, and now bought ketoconazole shampoo and used it today. Gonna use it once a week probably

My hair looked and felt so much better on nopoo. I could style it without product. It didn’t get greasy with just water washing, unlike when I went a few days without shampoo before

But I’m now on Operation Anti-Norwood. The mild DHT reduction from ketoconazole is probably cope, but it’s probably a good idea to clear my scalp of sebum

As for styling, I’ll have to start using products again, because my hair is so fine and floppy with shampoo usage. Bought texturising powder, and gonna buy water-based pomade. I liked the ease of no products, but hair is life, so I can spend a bit of time with products

Shampoo kills my hair everytime. If I go NoPoo for a bit, I get dead hair skin on my head looking like dandruff but my hair looks so much better. I will try to wash my hair with cold water now to see if it gets better. You got any other recommendations maybe?
Even washing my hair once a week with shampoo makes me feel depressed it looks horrible.

I scratched my scalp in the shower, and combed it in sections in the shower

But in places where I repeatedly put my head, like pillows, they would end up with waxy residue over time. So I’m trying a weekly shampoo now but just started

I feel like scratching makes it worse for me
Don't know how to get rid of the white things on my head

I didn’t get any visible residue
It was only on the comb and fingers etc
