Hello everyone, I’m a working mom with two beautiful kid. My husband always like my hair to be long and beautiful, but the problem is I’m not gifted and blessed with a beautiful one. In our country taking a bath is a necessity and a personal hygiene. Using a conditioner is not important to me as long as my hair smells good and clean that’s it. Searching the net is my past time hoping to find something that will make my wish came true.

On 2012, my hair was below shoulder length. To make it beautiful, soft and straight it goes to a  hair rebond process. For six months my hair was not a problem but after that my struggles begin.  Every week I tried different shampoos to maintain the softness and shine of my hair for it became rough and prone to split-ends. Until one day I saw  this site that posted “NO POO”. Several readings of some stories and testimonies makes me excited to try.  Hesitant but willing, I’d tried it for a week with a baking soda- vinegar combo. I was not satisfied with the result, my hair was still rough. I extended it for a couple of weeks hoping for a positive result. My journey for the baking soda- vinegar was not successful, I’ve gone on a career schooling and the availability of baking soda- vinegar was limited, then I  stop. After two years I begin my journey again but this time it was not a baking soda- vinegar combo but a gradual removal of shampoo in my by daily bath routine , I did not instantly stop using the shampoo.  On my first month, I uses 5 shampoo – 2 conditioner in a week alternate. On the second month 3 shampoo – 3 conditioner. On my third month I change my routine again, I observed that the more shampoo I used the more dandruff I get, so I make my routine 2 shampoo- 3 conditioner. until it came to a time that I only uses 2 shampoo- 2 conditioner and maintain it for another 3 months. The  result was amazing my hair was more manageable and it make my hair grow faster without applying anything. As my experiment became a habit to me, one of my colleague told me her own story. When she is younger she suffered alopecia a condition were  a person was suffering a hair loss. In her testimony her hair became weak and fall easily, “it was so frustrating when everyday I look at the mirror and my hair is thinning as if I will be bald. One friend advice me to use shampoo once and the rest of the week a conditioner. I follow her advice and it really worked for me” she said. I feel her hair and it feels like I’m touching a baby’s hair it was so soft and it smells good too.  Cold season came and problem arises my dandruff become  worst, flakes here and everywhere. I go back to 5 days shampoo again but nothing changes. It worsen and I panicked.  I remember that shampooing very often will worsen the problem and go back to the 2 days shampoo only, follow the advice of my colleague but this time I’ve change it for my own comfort. My routine became like this, shampoo once and 2 conditioner alternate for a week. The result was awesome my dandruff lay-low. Now my daily routine was 1 day shampoo and 1 day conditioner for a week. I want to totally remove the use of conditioner but my hair was not cooperating.

My hair was now waistline length and my colleagues  was always telling me ” Your hair was beautiful and long, what did you do to make it grow faster?”  In my analysis using shampoo more often make your hair weak and prone to split-ends. In addition,  the natural color of my hair came out perfectly.
