I tried it for like a week (washing every day with only water) but it didn't work. Maybe i got it wet too much and i didn't try for long enough. I also tried to shampoo every day and it was good for my scalp but my hair got too dry and damaged I guess i have seboreic dermatitis

Yes, but at that point, you might as well not bother at all. From past experience a week or two is about where you get the peak oil. After that first week, it doesn't get much oilier.

how was the transition to no shampoo??

[@AutumnWind92]

@@bebus7581 I still use shampoo, just a lot less.

[@SpicyG91]

My personal experience with this is very similar to the guy in the videos. No matter what I used, regular shampoo, all natural shampoo, dandruff shampoo, “hydrating” shampoo etc. I always wound up with an itchy scalp and straw like hair. Just like everyone one else who hears about the no poo method, I was like, what is this hippie shit?? But one day, I decided to go cold turkey and stop using shampoo. Yes, there was a moment when my scalp and hair oil were like, wtf are you doing!? It got a little greasy for a week or two. But being the amazing system we have, the body naturally adapted after that. The results were night and day. Best hair I have ever had in my life. Once again, this was my personal experience. I think we all have to step back and realize the power of marketing. They dictate the norms and what’s right or wrong. I’ll go as far as saying that deodorant is unnecessary. Back in the day, I used to get massive cyst like bumps under my arms from deodorant. In order to clear it up, I stopped using deodorant for a week. Naturally I was very nervous about this and told people to tell me when I started to smell. Surprisingly, at the end of the week, there was no issues at all. As long as I kept up with daily showers of course. At the end of the day, we as people are targeted by these marketers. Save your money folks! Not every product is bad or unnecessary. But do your own research, and find your own path!

[@TravWhiteStyle]

Great testimonial!

[@charlesstanford1310]

About the deodorant: I switched over to putting baking soda on my armpits about 15 years ago. Once in a while I still get irritation from the soda and then I lay off for a day or two and it's fine. But it's much better than when I used commercial deodorant. I'm never going back.

[@Multiplayer.x]

Dude same!!!!! I am from a sub tropical climatic zone and got curly hair. They were just rough and dry. I have spent SO MUCH ISTG trying all those cgm or sls free or paraben free stuff but nothing worked. It was just me wasting the money. I came across Johnny's vid and was like what the actual f. Then I saw a tonne of vids of testimonials of people going no poo and I was like fuck it. This is the last thing that's left and I'll do that. MY HAIR HAS NEVER BEEN THIS HEALTY. The process was not easy but I did it and I am NEVER GOING BACK TO SHAMPOOING EVER AGAIN :D

[@milosaradojevic]

"I used to get massive cyst like bumps under my arms from deodorant". - this is not a cyst, it's an lymph node inflammation and less likely (but possible) caused by deodorant. Lymph nodes gets inflamed from all sort of reasons, but most usually from bacterial and viral infections.

[@spencerpearson1321]

my hair is at mid bicep and I haven’t cleaned it more than once every two weeks for almost a year now, and tho it gets Greasy as I work out, it doesn’t really cause any actual problem. In fact I used to have terrible itchy scalp and dandruff, and that went away after I stopped washing it. On average I’d say I go three weeks between washes. I usually know it’s time to wash it by the weight I feel when I brush it over to one side. I DK how much weight the oil adds but I can definitely feel it. As for deodorant I haven’t used any since middle school, and I don’t really find that anybody notices anything. I presume it’s partly because of genetics, but I really found that in middle school I would start to smell more the more I used it. So I stopped.

As a barber my self, both of the cleaniest hairs and best scalps that I ever see was from 2 people that don't shampoo at all. 1 was elderly man with AMAZING white hair, I asked him what his secret, he answered "not shampooing for long long time, for many years now and using brush daily". Second one was a man around 35 years old, same thing, I asked him "did you wash before coming here?", his answer was "nope, and I never use shampoo ". He has fantastic hair! I knew that shampoos are scam, but didn't imagine that so much. Now I'm shampooing only after haircut, I do it myself, so I'm not shampooing for about 2-4 weeks each time. And I use shampoo only to clean easily the cut hair and not to wash the scalp. My hair looks great, healthy scalp, and no smell! So don't be afraid to try. Don't start with one year, just extend each time, start with one week, then 2, 3, after 1 month you can go all in and stop with shampoo for ever.

[@igorborovkov7011]

[@MrHubyBuby]

@@igorborovkov7011 Hearsay... I'm saying this from first experience. Those who did have greasy, had different life style, for example the greasiest head was of a cook, a guy that works at a kitchen so all the oil stick to his hair, of course some like this must wash, even 3 times with shampoo each day, but every average person will do much better with nothing touching his / her hair accept water. It is hard to grasp because we used to as kids, hear from our parents that "if you don't wash your hair well it will be dirty"... And it stuck . Wash it, every day, but only with water.

I'm going on about 8 months now. My hair has never looked or felt better. No dirt or oil buildup on my hair or scalp. No smell. The perfect amount of sebum coats my hair and it never gets too greasy. I wash with water only like once a week unless I get too dirty at work. All the same for my beard. I also use a bit of argan oil on my hair and beard after showers. Funnily enough, I didn't start doing this because of the trend, I just didn't want to leave my house to get more shampoo. That's when I learned that water works just fine, you just have to work your hands in there for a longer time and be very thorough. It got extremely greasy for the first couple of weeks, but hot water helped thin it out a little bit and then after that period my sebum just naturally balanced itself out.

I wash my hair daily with water only. After the sebum stops overproducing I'll go to every 4th day as I did before. Your hair will be thicker, healthier etc. If there is any itching just massage instead and water wash. Your scalp will thank you. Condition is stripping as is shampoo.

I stopped using shampoo for a year and about a month ago I started it back up. I absolutely love it. I have thick wavy hair on the dry coarse side. Now my hair isn't frizzy even after brushing. I do have to use a wooden comb to distribute the oils and thoroughly wash my comb - that was the game changer for getting through the oily stage. The only product I put in my hair now is a little bit of argan oil. I can't express how freeing it is to go away without products.. OR go camping for a week and look just as fresh at the end.

[@abigailmurphy5179]

As someone who tried water only. It seems to be the only thing that works for me, but I'm an extreme case. No matter what shampoo I've tried, (even medicated shampoos) there seems to be something in shampoo that I'm allergic to, because even the natural shampoos and sulfate free shampoos leave my head really itchy and my scalp would often bleed in certain spots. I've been water only washing for a while now with apple cider vinegar rinses and my scalp seems to have calmed down a lot. No itching, no bleeding, and hardly any dandruff. But like I said, I'm an extreme case and it doesn't work for everyone!

My experience: So when I had short hair I did this for about 3 years and hands down the best my hair ever was. There is a stage where you hair becomes really greasy and may smell, but this only lasts a month and after that your hair will balance out. The reason I started shampooing again was because I grew my hair out and unfortunately it did start to smell slightly. In my honest opinion it does seem like a marketing scheme as I imagine the hair care industry is a billion pound industry.

Thank you for all the content by the way, truly high quality.

[@arjunious0770]

I haven't used any shampoo, conditioner or other products in my hair for around 6 months, for the first couple of months, it was really greasy and not fun tbh, it then got a lot better but was really rigid, it would just stay in place when I touched it (I've also been growing my hair out this entire time), it'd feel nice after i'd just had a shower, but then it would vary significantly, I've been working out almost everyday so i showered everyday, I also take my showers cold for multiple reasons, but I know that warm water can dry out skin and hair, How my hair felt and looked varied and in my opinion it was similar to hair my hair acted when i used shampoo and conditioner, slowly things started to get better, I think going to bed with wet hair must've had a part to play, because i felt that my hair was more likely to be overly greasy in the mornings if I went to bed with wet hair. These days my hair feels and looks really good in my opinion, many of my friends have pointed out how nice my hair is, it gets very slightly greasy sometimes, but not very often and when it does it's really minor. My guess is just that my scalp needed a really long time to get used to no products, and I shouldn't go to bed with wet hair because it seems to make my hair greasy when I wake up (I'm aware there are other problems with going to bed with wet hair too). I also recently learned from one of your videos that I shouldn't expose my hair to water daily, so I'm considering changing my workout split and working out twice a week so I don't take as many showers

I tried it. It was not a good experience. I mean, I get that people can do this, but I have seen so many scalp issues from not washing or unclogging the pores of the scalp. It is true that the scalp will adapt, and it is true that natural oils are beneficial. I wash my hair usually once every 3 or 4 days. Biology plays a huge part in how long you can go, and often times I feel like it is a pissing contest of who can go longer without washing their hair. Or just using home DIY cocktails. Apple Cider is super, but it can also cause irritation. I have had people come into the shop and, I have literally told them I won't touch their hair because it is disgusting. It smells. They have yeast/bacteria build-up causing dander and all I want to do is get in there with a salicylic acid shampoo and clean the literal blackhead off of their scalp.

“salon quality hair products” are really just marketing. It’s no different than expensive skincare. If you go to any drugstore you’ll find a whole aisle of shampoos and conditioners that aren’t just “made for the masses”. That would be like one-size fits all or undifferentiated marketing which just doesn’t happen. I think of “salon-quality hair products” as just products that are in mind to not work against any treatments you get at the salon, or are just safe for chemically treated hair really, but those products exists at affordable prices without breaking the bank.

[@wendigo6667]

It seems like you never used salon products before. It's true that it is more expensive but you also use much less of it because the active ingredients are in a much higher concentration. I've been using the same bottle of shampoo for 4 months and I'm not even half way through it. It's not even one of the large bottles either. With drug store shampoo, I would have used up the whole thing in half that time.

[@intonerone4674]

I think that the "no shampoo" method works if you have good pressure in your shower, that is, that the same pressure of the water(that really hits) helps to remove the excess oils in the hair and deodorize. It is easier if you have short hair and keep it that way. I've tried it, I let my hair grow and I haven't washed my hair with shampoo in almost a year and the times I wash and dry my hair well, it's not greasy, it "balances itself". I have somewhat curly hair so the knots, yes, it is a problem but there is a solution. But if you don't wash your hair well, "no shampoo" doesn't mean that you don't have to wash it, what's more, I would say that you have to rinse it and dry it well, because if it isn't, the hair gets bad odor due to the humid environment and type of microorganisms that favor these conditions.

[@Ricewarrior01]

Decided to experiment with it for a bit, first two weeks was hell, itchy scalp and I was having mini dandruff blizzards. After that, it started to calm down but offered almost no benefits. For the next month in a half, I'll have random dandruff break outs, every once in awhile I'd get random itching episodes (sometimes with dandruff, sometimes without), my hair quality was atrocious, my hair which is normally free flowing and shiny when I used shampoo and without it was clumping up and looked dull. Combing my hair was a pain in the ass due to my hair becoming more clingy not only themselves clumping up, but also clinging on to the comb due to the slightly dry oil (makes no sense but I have a lack of a better term here) my hair was now producing. I decided to stop the this experiment when I noticed more and more hair falling out when I just ran water over my head. So yeah, bad results for myself but no regrets since it's a small dumb story I can tell others. If you're going to suggest this method to people, do them a favor; tell them it isn't for everyone and encourage them to do their own research since it's clear people have differing results from this from the comment section alone. Don't be a asshole and push this as a 100% reliable method otherwise you might just end up screwing someone over.

i can attest to this. my head feels more healthy when i'm not using shampoo. i got almost no hair-fall when washing my hair with water only, while i got noticeable hair-fall when washing my hair with shampoo. back in refinery where i work, our barracks only has one bathroom for 4 people so i can only use the bathroom for limited amount of time in the morning. i stop using shampoo to save time. one old lady in next department compliment my hair and ask me what product i'm using. got me confuse because i haven't use any hair product at all for almost a month during that time.

Eee YOO TRAV did you change ur blowout routine and u have wavy hair or did it dry like that natural?Also have u seen any difference cutting ur hair shorter in terms of waviness? Is it true that the longer it gets the straighter the hair becomes? I am asking all of this because i really like straight hair for myself but right now i am in the long bob wavy haircut. Very informative and scientific video, also NOICE BRUH!!!

Trav, how do get that wavy/ curl in your hair? Been growing mine out for over a year now and doesn’t have much movement to it. Debating whether to get a light perm to help. Would like to see a vid on how you get those waves 👍🏼

[@fede1324ee]

I actually have seborreic dermatitis (Two different dermatologist confirmed it), and I used to refuse to use the dermatitis shampoo cause it dried my hair too much (I have fine and wavy hair). Now, after beeing informed by your channel, I'll see if I can find the balance to use the dermatitis shampoo less often (I used to shampoo everyday), and combine with a better suited conditioner made for my hair type, rising with cool water and combining with cool air blow and see what happens... Getting rid of dandruff AND having healthy hair would be amazing, was almost about to give up and cut my hair super short

[@Artic370]

My case it's almost the same as yours

[@liviu1266]

Bro, dermatologists are crap. I went to 2 different licensed dermatologists with PHDs and all. They looked 2 seconds at my scalp and said "Yeah, you got seborrheic dermatitis. Use this medicated shampoo 2-3 times a week". Turns out I had dry scalp, not dermatitis. And their stupid shampoo made everything worse.

One good thing about Nizoral - there are some studies showing it may reduce hair loss by reducing follicular inflammation that contributes to alopecia.

[@theemperorofdrifts5854]

He made a good point by saying that this is not for everyone. In my case i need to wash my hair basically everyday in order to get the wax out that i used the day before. And usually i need shampoo for this because the shampoo removes the wax easier. And i style my hair basically everyday. But a good Hairstyling product (especially wax) normally has ingredients that are not bad and bee wax protects the hair as well. And a good hair wax should have bee wax

Hey Trav, I'm a new member of your Facebook group and I just have to say that your hair was looking amazing in this reaction video. I have the same hair type/texture as you, although my hair is less dense than yours. It's also not quite as long as yours. I've only been growing it out for just under 20 months so it's just maybe 2-3" past my shoulders. Anyways, in most of your videos your hair looks like it has good volume, but it otherwise fairly straight with a little bit of wave. But in this video it not only has incredible volume but also some great looking waves. Could you tell me how you achieved this look. This is what I'm trying to get my hair to look like, but not quite sure how to accomplish it. Thanks in advance. Btw, love your channel, app and the FB group.

He didn’t even realize that the shampoo he was using cured his scalp condition.

[@dantesobrero8702]

My point of view: First of all, much people have a misunderstanding: he isn't saying that he *does not* wash his hair; he is saying that he does not *use shampoo* , he still washes it with water. Then I'll just make an hypothesis based on commonsense; we humans are animals, what mostly differentiates us from other species is our ability to reason but biologically, physiologically, we're still animals. Now, how many animals do you know that need to use shampoo? any. Since we are born, our parents wash our hair with shampoo, then we learn to do it ourselves and continue with the habit for years and years. Our body adapts to the environment and external factors that affect it, and here comes this situation with all this clean/beauty products: If you shampoo your hair in a regular basis, you're artificially modifing it's natural conditions; you use some shampoo, say it dries your hair, well now you use a moisturizer product; then your hair is too flat so you use a product to get volume... This is just a made up example. Summarizing: we are animals, all animals' bodys regulate themselves homeostaticly. From the moment we're born, we constantly manipulate the natural processes of our body through chemicals, -no animal on earth has the need of artificial products and this seems *obvious* but then? Why would us, animals, need them? Because we get used to them, because we use them constantly from the very start of our life; we spend a living altering the body's natural regulation so it very quickly becomes an acquired necessity. Sorry for any speaking mistakes, English is my second language.

[@janemorrow6672]

I don’t know for sure but my understanding is that hair does not need ‘moisture’ in the sense of water. It needs protection in the sense of sebum which is not just oils but a waxy component. Swimming in the sea is great not because of the salt but the natural surfactants in sea water. The natural sebum protects your hair from the water but allows the surfactants to remove only the excess sebum. That’s my secret to no poo hair.

[@elahesh6886]

I used no product and no shampoo and no conditioner for two years. My hair was very thick and easy to style.every morning I restyle my hair only by spraying some water. The only thing I was using was some oil on my ends , Argan oil or coconut oil or hair oil. I was washing my hair with water every other day, massaging my sculp by finger.my hair was medium size and curly. I might have used a little bit of shampoo 3-4 time in these two years, When I think I need that.

I’d say a nickel or quarter size

[@Lidlacelashes]

if your scalp has been condition to over produce sebum to compensate for washing your hair everyday then backing it off to every 3-5 days will be healthier but will also come with a transition period as you sebum production balances out.

[@theskilllessgamer5795]

1.5 years ago I stopped shaving my head bald. Now my hair is long enough to make a short ponytail. My hair is super soft and has no spliss and that hair has never touched any chemicals or seen a scissor. All I use is water, a towel and a brush. When I started to let it grow I was worried that the whole itchiness and dandruff thing would be back, but that didnt happen.

[@tayluvofficial]

Honestly, i haven't used shampoo for a week and my hair just looks so good/gorgeous? Like natural. They're a little oily like not too much or gross but it's like spread out evenly which is probably my sebum that coats and nourishes them. The best part is I'm able to comb my hair in any direction i want! With shampoo and conditioner I wasn't able to move my hair in any specific direction, rather they'd just stay down in one place and i was so annoyed to kinda push them at side. As for now, I'm so Satisfied with no shampoo and only water method!

[@abmrose]

I started washing less frequently, but gradually, almost two decades ago. I still wash only about once a week, but use a silicones-free conditioner (cowash), or honey water, or a very dilute baking soda solution followed a diluted vinegar solution. Massaging very gently with any of these gets my scalp clean and not irritated. Easy, cheap, and no dry flakes for 20 years. Cool. And my hair looks nice without paying corporations hundreds of dollars 😎

But as with the other comments this is my experience and every now and then shampoo is a must for me.
