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.

@@donotreportmebro 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.

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 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.

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.

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).

[@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.

“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.

[@lynxon9939]

Gotta be honest, at first I thought Trav was a no-poo, because I immideatly looked at his hair and thought it was kind of greasy.

[@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 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.

[@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.

Now I don’t need any products at all. It just makes so much sense for me and my hair is so much healthier. It’s like Mother Nature had it all figured out from the start, who would of thought it 😂

[@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 😎

[@jordanbateman-uw1zg]

I use salt on my scalp for the dandruff and no shampoo. I’ve been doing this for over ten years and I have long hair. People constantly ask me what I use for my hair and I always get compliments about it. Just saying.

[@katrinaroche1611]

To the best of my knowledge my partner has never shampooed in 30+ years. When I cut his hair I will put some oil on the scalp and that’s about it.

[@beactivelifestyle]

I saw that video... tried it ... my hair got so dirty even just washing with water, didn't work for me, maybe works for him ... then good

[@samaynowt1696]

attempted no poo 3 times, the first two times the experience was painful, burning scalp, more flakes, more oily feeling, and then the third attempt where I told myself, I am 100% not gonna give up, and here I am haven't used shampoo for a long long long time. It finally clicked, to make sure I didn't go insane, I asked a couple of my friends and family members to feel my hair and smell it, the only comments I got is "It feels like normal hair" "I literally smell nothing on your hair" the amount of joy I felt hearing those words.

[@beactivelifestyle]

@@samaynowt1696 That's great, i have long hair so it after not washing it using a shampoo/conditioner for a long time (tried it for a month) i look like a homeless person, it just doesn't fit my scalp style, i remember when i had short hair it worked to not use much products. Whoever is reading this- experiment and see for yourself

[@hamzehaladwan]

@@samaynowt1696 so you only wash it with water, right?

[@samaynowt1696]

@@hamzehaladwan Yeah just water, though back then I would try alternatives to shampoo like baking soda and apple cider but that just wasn't for me because its doing the same thing the shampoo does anyways. When I used to shampoo my hair it made my hair feel good but my scalp was really irritated and I've tried all the local drugstore shampoos but none of them worked or were soothing for my scalp, I am sure there are expensive shampoo out there that is perfect for my scalp but I can't afford it and now I don't need it anymore since my scalp feels happy so I am happy.

Hey Trav, I just recently started to realize how important it is to take especially good care of my hair. I have long hair that I haven't gotten cut for about a year now. I use shampoo/conditioner about twice a week. I was wondering if I need to cut my hair down short, and kind of "Restart" my hair growth from short hair and make sure I take proper care of it. Or is it ok to simply start applying advice from your channel to my hair right now? I can clarify if what I said sounds confusing, I didn't phrase it very well. Thank you for all the content by the way, truly high quality.

[@WhiteWizzard]

I have long hair but it’s fine. Fine hair benefits more from this method than thick. Fine hair needs help to look good. That said what I have been doing on the advice of a stylist I know, is wash with shampoo only once per week with a water rinse once in between with a blow dry both times. Fine hair can really get a nice texture doing this….By the weekend with some spray wax my hair looks great. I would almost be determined to push washing to every 2 weeks we’ll see. Product matters too. I use high quality Japanese branded Yuko stuff. If your hair is super thick and healthy and naturally silky you don’t need to do as much. I knew a girl with incredible looking super long thick smooth hair and all she used was suave. I’m not sure about just dropping shampoo entirely. That sounds a bit mad.

[@brutzie]

I personally dont use ANY product on my hair. And well, in my experience everytime ive taken a shower where i wet my hair, my hair has comeout clean and oderless. No one has ever said anything and ive evwn asked my closest friends if they have noticed anything but they didnt. They actually mentioned my hair seeming a slight bit healed... ( i was receading from my temples and losing thinckness ) ...and to my suprise it was thicker and closer to what it was like before! But this is just my experience, all of our scalps operate differently, And what has a play in it too is how dependat your body has become to these certain chemicals, What i mean by that is: You clean your hair weekly or even every other day and your body has a routine of over producing oils for your hair and once you try to stop using shampoo complitely your hair will get even greasier than someone who has used less shampoo and has had a more "healthy" relationship with their hair amd the chemicals they put in there.

[@brutzie]

Dont get me wrong, im not advertising this to you like HEY DO THIS! This is just my personal experience. It might be complitely different for you. ALSO NO ITS NOT A CURE FOR ACTUAL BALDING!!! IF YOUR HAIRLINE IS GETTING WORSE See a doctor! If you dont want to, then sure give this a try IT MIGHT WORK gor you and it might not, doesent hurt to try if you dont want to visit the doctor as your first choice

[@asthenamesuggests9513]

I tried a no poo as a religious activity, using sidr and shikakai instead of commercial shampoo. I did it for 2 years, and then I stopped because it's too much work while being a caretaker + working. Now I just shampoo once every 5-7 days and my hair is still better than when I shampoo every couple days.

[@aliozanerbektas]

I have a question. How about wash your hair with shampoo but not use any other stuff like conditioner or moisturizer or whatever. It almost feels like Johnny does it to himself... 🤦‍♀️

[@gaigesmith9674]

So I was on ACCUTANE, and it shrinks your oil glands, my hair has been so dry ever time I shampoo… I don’t know what to do

On no-poo for like 3 years. By "no-poo" I mean like, once every two weeks or after a super sweaty event or sitting by the campfire. Hair looks, feels, and smells great.

[@ForsakenSanityGaming]

It can be insanely different from person to person. Some people can go without barely ever showering with little to no odor. Probably more people than we know because of how normalized it is to shower over-frequently, such as 2-4 days a week.

[@Robotoda2000]

In my experience, if I stop using shampoo and only wash with water, after about 2 weeks my hair is thicker, fuller, frizz free and easier to style. The hairs are coated in natural oils that acts like a hair spray. My hair stays in place when I style it.

[@Frozenfrog18]

This is the first time I saw Trav's reaction to Johnny harris. If Johnny is not one of the most respected and award winning journalist in KZbin, i would think that his video was a clickbait.

[@ericsperling9724]

I watched Johnny Harris' video and stopped shampooing in Feb 2023 as a challenge. Its now Jan 2024 and I'm still only cleaning my hair with water. When I shower my hair feels oily. I scrub my head with my fingers under the shower head and towel dry my hair vigously after. The result is great hair that stays in place, no static in winter and it doesn't feel greasy when dry. If I get really dirty after some outside physical labor, I will use shampoo but for my personal experience, no shampoo is the way to go. I liked your commentary and perhaps will explore a more gental shampoo for the times where I truly need it. BTW, I have a full head of thick hair and I keep it cut moderately short (longer than Johnny's but much shorter than yours).

[@dheeraj3945]

The production quality is really good! Maybe he got trained by skillshare that often sponsors him 😂

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

Hmmm, I mix vinegar mixed with distilled water until it reaches a pH of about 5. After jumping out the shower, I I spray my hair down with it. I find that's all I need. That's it. All the rest is just product junkie nonsense. I do like herbal rinses though. Really sleek for nice hair.

There are essential oils that regulate the sebum production on the scalp and face and body and the one that also helps with hair loss is rosemary essential oil .

[@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

[@wellthen...1539]

No-poo is no BS. I stopped using shampoo like 10 years ago...after 1-2 weeks, never any issues. Not greasy, not itchy or flaky. For me at least, shampoo is not necessary.

[@ObscureStuff420]

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

[@ghostxt1]

I am against the conditioner ritual. WHEO Water Humectants (Aloevera for example) Emolients and Occlusives ( these are primarily oils - Shea butter,jojoba oils) So you strip away the oils and again add oils.

[@quietgiant474]

Since shampoo came out people demonized soap non-stop, but they're not that much far off. As someone with thick curly shoulder-length hair + eczema, i personally hate shampoo because it leaves my hair stringy and raggedy. I used soap out of frustration one day and my hair has been shiny and clean for over a week straight, it even healed all the scars the eczema gave me. Just remember to use conditioner right after, because soap (like shampoo) is drying and strips your natural oils so condition to replace the moisture. I doubt i am the only one who uses soap.

[@ekosoelistiyo4532]

My late dad used soap too! He didn't have hair or scalp problem, he was just being practical: why using 2 different product for hair and body if you can use just 1? 🤣 I can tell you that his scalp was sooo clean. The cleanest scalp I have ever seen. The hair seemed a little bit dry tho.

[@ekosoelistiyo4532]

BTW, can you tell me what the brand of your soap is? My hair is thick & wavy. And I had eczema too. I think I'm gonna follow your path

[@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.

[@yurtaevroman]

your counter argument is funny: "shampoo is not a chemical, it's a formula of chemicals" - it doesn't make it sound any better lol

[@mcmerry2846]

Nah, it's better. Even normal natural soap is chemicals

[@TheDaysEnd]

The quality of water we use to wash our hair and skin is very important. Most of us live with hard water unfortunately. So using luke warm water almost bordering on cold will be better especially if your shampoo or conditioner has ingredients that could exacerbate irritation when it comes into contact with warm hard water. Dandruff is just dead skin. Combing your hair and less frequent hair washing will help. Our body naturally goes through skin cell turnover. A lot of the products we see are marketing bs.

[@vitorbowen2347]

I think each person has to experiment for itself, I get a lot of flakes when I shampoo my hair, so I normally don't do it, but once when I was at a bussness trip, me and my friend, we didn't have any shappo, my friend basically freaked out, and said so vigorously the importance of shampoo, the natural oils are bad or whatever that I changed my mind at the time, so these videos helped me get to my senses

[@michaelsubi]

[@crazycarl00]

Haven't washed my hair in several weeks and it is absolutely fine. Better than it's ever been, even. There was a momentary transition of some dandruff (where I previously had none). Guess what? I've stopped using soap as well. I rinse off thoroughly every day and so far it has not raised any eyebrows. I do still use deodorant (not anti-perspirant). Today, which I believe is about a week of no-soap, my armpits started sweating for the first time since I was a child.

I think doctors should try prescribing shampoos or hair products, not saying that it should be prescription only lol but that it is a good alternative to ask a good trichologist rather than risking from too many unnecessary experiences, as they say experience is a hard teacher, it tests you first and gives the lesson afterwards.

[@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]

[@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.

I heard a horror story I want to share with you all and it’s from a hair stylist who had a gymnast who came in and had a big braid in her hair and hadn’t taken it out in weeks, she washed it but it was to big and didn’t fully dry. So when she started to untie her hair the smell of mold and sweat came out and they ended up just cutting it off because it was so gross.
