The No Shampoo Challenge

It started with a radio interview back in 2007. Richard Glover was interviewing Matthew Parris, a London Times columnist, who disclosed that he had not washed his hair with shampoo for 15 years. The reason? Shampoos strip the natural oils from your hair. Your body compensates by producing more oil, your hair gets greasier and you need to wash your hair more often. By not washing your hair with shampoo, your hair initially becomes greasy and oily but after about six weeks it will look and feel better because the natural balance is restored. Six weeks!? For me, it's been three years!
