Minimalist Hair Care | Five Years No Shampoo

[@laurensitter5250]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been transitioning to minimalism and swapped to natural shampoo bars... Unfortunately, they still made a bunch of my fine, thin hair fall out. I’m going to try the baking soda and ACV rinse before using clay, instead! I so appreciate you talking about this. 🙏🏻

[@liveloveleo7766]

It sounds so plausible, man I'm feeling stupid rn 😂 You communicate the topic in a very light hearted way though, was funny to watch!

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Thank you!

[@gregthevegan1555]

I just shaved my head after growing it out for YEARS it was so horribly dead and now it’s the perfect time to have actually healthy hair. (Plus when my roots are greasy it’s less noticeable so perfect timing, perhaps) very excited!!

[@anechkagee5372]

You actually don't even need that. Water only hair washing should work as well - no clay, no nothing.

[@gregthevegan1555]

anechka gee you’re right! My hair was so greasy a couple weeks ago but now (with only water washing an occasional clay) my hair feels completely normal and way healthier! I’m really surprised

[@Myladyinred999]

The good thing is that only the roots are alive, all of the hair that is visible is the same lifeless substance we also have in our nails. But a new start is obviously best if the hair looks visibly damaged. Good luck to you!

[@marysusansusan]

@@gregthevegan1555 I also am starting no poo again after shaving my head. I had been going through transition when my hair was a bit longer but now that I've shaved it, I feel like it's the perfect time to get through the worst of transition with little to no hair!

[@hollyp3065]

you look like a young Joanna Lumley! She was a model when she was young :)

[@DimensionBodyworks]

Simple is the best! I detoxed my scalp long ago (two years) after having severe allergic reactions to hair product ingredients. I like the clay idea, have not tried that along with the rosemary- will give it a go next wash! What better aroma than earth anyhow right?? Thanks Veggie Manifique!

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Leah right, totally agree with you! Yes, definitely try the clay - it’s a game changer.

[@myrthasmascary4086]

I feel like shampoo and conditioner r the same unless they have no chemicals I feel hair mask r great I feel like they more u use the more drying they make ur hair

[@winterwolf5813]

You are amazing hon! 👏 your absolutely right all this crud they try and sell us is just bad for us and our earth..I have eczema and I had to stop using store bought shampoo and conditioner cause it just inflamed it so bad..I found a shampoo and conditioner from exederm that was supposed to be ultra sensitive to my scalp, I'd wash every other day but my eczema still was irritated so I went 4 days with water wash only, omg my face eczema actually started to clear up and my scalp didn't hurt!! So I'm on a mission now to find out what I can use to clean my scalp weekly but stay away from the crud! I loved your video..did you say starch and clay?? Hugs

[@tulipschnur1767]

Informative, thank you :) plus your hair looks great - very shiny & healthy. I wanna try cutting out shampoo but my roots are insanely greasy. 4 days of not washing my hair and it literally looks wet down until the ends. Did you have problems with very oily hair in the process? Kinda hard to imagine all the oil to balance out eventually.

[@VeggieMagnifique]

It's definitely worth a shot! The process can take a while, so you've got to be patient and wear hats. :) So happy that you found this video helpful! good luck with it! 💕

[@meadowyj]

You’re positively gorgeous!

[@VeggieMagnifique]

You're so so kind.

[@alexandralebeau9559]

Hi! I really liked your video. I took the "opportunity" of the quarantine to try the no-poo method, using water only which is not yet a success for me. I might try the cocoa powder for the bad days! :) As an alternative was thinking of trying Rhassoul clay, but a part of me wonders of the environmental impact of clay harvesting. Adding to that the transportation from Morocco to Canada (for me)...it just feels wrong. I'm still looking for other options. However, I'm really happy to watch this video and read the comments and see that more people are interested in stopping the release of products that hurt mother nature. Thank you!

[@VeggieMagnifique]

So glad that you took opportunity of the quarantine to try this out! Great idea! Just water rarely works... definitely try the baking soda, etc. Best of luck to you and thanks for caring about our planet! 💙

[@saraha5522]

You could try just clay, I've used green clay and it's great.

[@almostTOTALLYvix]

also, i just wanted to say that omg the baby is just adorable

[@anniemargareth7617]

Thank you :). I like the corn starch trick and raussul powder. Gonna try it soon😃.

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Hope it works out for you!

YAY! Haha.Thanks! SO glad to have you here.

[@BlackStrawberry79]

have you ever tried kaolin clay in hair? ive been using it sort of as a dry shampoo, like how you use the cornstarch but I put quite a bit more on and then shake out the excess and leave it overnight to soak up the oils and I wake up with practically grease-less, volumized hair. I don't know if using clay in this way is a bad idea long term as I suspect It could lead to things like build up and clogging or whatever but ive found its a good way to extend periods between washing by a day or two.

[@VeggieMagnifique]

A lot of people have great success with clay! (I haven't tried kaolin clay though.) But I would say if it's working for you, and make sure to rise well, and moisturize, it should be fine!

[@marysusansusan]

Haha I love patchouli! I put that stuff on me voluntarily

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Haha! Rock on, sister. :) ❤️

[@almostTOTALLYvix]

i know this video is like ancient but I will try this since I have some hair problems

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Should still be helpful, I hope!

[@katelynhendricks4063]

i have very curly hair- i have a lot of hair but the strands are very fine. i dont wash my hair but about once a week. i have had trouble using a minimalist method with my hair. often they dry my hair out to much & don’t define the curls making me look like i stuck my finger in a light socket. i am currently using devacurl which is paraben silicone & sulfate free BUT i would like to become more natural for my health & pocketbook. do you know anyone who has a minimalist routine for curly hair?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Katelyn Hendricks Hey Katelyn, thanks for reaching out! I don’t have any personal experience with curly hair, but I know that argan oil and also shea butter is really popular with curly-haired folk. Maybe try that? It could be a good way to add some moisture back in after a minimalist cleansing method. If I come across any channels that treat minimalism for Curly Sues I will let you know. p.s. Curls rock! ✊🏼

[@lucycarter]

This video is really helpful. How long into the process did you start washing with bicarb and ACV? I’ve not washed my hair with anything other than water for two weeks. It’s gross to touch and my scalp if itchy and flaky. I’m not sure if I should stick at it or not?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Thanks so much for your comment. It does take time. Definitely start washing your scalp with bicard and rinsing with ACV here and there. It's best to start with extending washings and gradually your hair will start to adapt! Best of luck to you!

[@Tremolocircus]

Bicarbonate soda is baking soda right?

[@KaritKtana]

Thanks! Do you ever incorporate coconut oil into hair care routine?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Hi! A little bit on the tips when hair is dry is a great practice! Have you tried it?

[@Otoke888]

I use apple cider vinegar to wash my hair,so awesome! Any tips for hair loss/hair fall problem?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

That’s cool! Super pure and simple 👌. Rosemary essential oil is a brilliant remedy for hair loss - you massage a couple of drops (diluted into water - or vinegar!) onto your scalp. Hope this helps!

[@shirankipi]

Hi there! thank you for this video! How do you wash off the clay? doesn't it sticks to your hair? Thanks!

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Hi there! Scrubbing with water! (It's a nice scalp massage, too.) 💙

[@heathertoomey7068]

I like your makeup. It looks really pretty. 6:21 and for the next 10 seconds looks like stereotypical "Mom KZbinr." So cute!

On behalf of Chloe, thank you so much! 💙😊

[@dawncarrasco8320]

So you use no products on your hair at all like hairspray etc.

[@liiiziiikaa]

I use Logona shampoo! So happy when I saw that they also have clay and it made me feel like they are somebody I want to support. But I do spend about 10€ every 2 months for their shampoo xD but it is worth it! It doesn’t have any silicone or parabhens in it and I did saw in the beginning that my hair would grease more and I wasn’t blown away by the results. After a month or so... I’ve found myself buying it again and ever since. I wash my hair once a week and it looks more and more shiny. I guess I could still do more but - baby steps. I do suggest this shampoo from Logona (its green bottle) for beginners like me :) oh yeah, and does anybody know what I can put on my scalp to have more of a feeling of thick hair? Thank you! :)

[@VeggieMagnifique]

That's awesome that you use Logona! Sounds like you have a good routine. I would say that the "hair thickness" doesn't seem to change that much -- most especially through products. The best way to affect our hair, in my experience, is through what we eat. When we are healthy, our hair and nails seem to improve! :)

[@esztertoth7514]

I've just passed the 80th no sampoo day, still very oily, absolutely not presentable....tried the baking soda ACV method which worked for a day or two but after that the oilyness came back....I guess it's not something for me :/

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Are you using a clay shampoo or using the baking soda often? I do think that everyone's hair is quite different!

[@esztertoth7514]

@@VeggieMagnifique only once a week so not sure what's the problem...or just that my transitioning phase would be this long?! I don't know :(

[@VeggieMagnifique]

@@esztertoth7514 I would say experiment with how often you do wash your hair (and with what) and see what happens. It's definitely a process and everyone's hair is so different! Best of luck to you.

[@LeeW-i4t]

I heard that the water makes a difference too. Could try installing a water filter to filter out the hardness in your shower water, since hard water can be too harsh and nasty

[@VeggieMagnifique]

@@LeeW-i4t The water totally makes a difference. Having a good shower filter is super helpful.

[@paulatanner7084]

How does this all work with dyed hair? I get my hair dyed about every two months, I’d like to try this :)

[@Myladyinred999]

That's the best part for me - hair dye stays longer in the hair when you reduce the amounts of times your hair comes into contact with water ^^

[@jazmine_9098]

If I did this I would spray my hair with some water and essential oils

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Totally! Great idea! Rosemary is good for the scalp apparently. :)

So, if I'm putting oil in my hair how do I wash it off without a shampoo?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Rahul - You just put a tiny bit, eh? Then it absorbs. Do be aware of not overdoing it! :)

[@rahulbenny7986]

@@VeggieMagnifique Okay. But, is ACV enough to get it out? Also, is the no poo water only routine any different for a guy? 😅

[@VeggieMagnifique]

@@rahulbenny7986 ACV is easy to get out! Just rinse it! I think the routine is a bit different for every person, regardless of their gender. It's just a question of trial and error and patience and seeing what works for you! Good luck!

[@akasha81a]

Rye flour is great. I can't get the clay out of my hair, but flour washes out easily. I also add a drop of essentiall oil (citrus or tea) to the flour shampoo so it doesn't smell like a pancake on my head 😀

[@Melayahm01]

I'm interested to know how no shampoo would work with permanently dyed hair, do you have any knowledge about that? thanks

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Great question. We don't dye our hair, but I would imagine it would work well still! Just make sure you're hydrating your hair a bit more in between washings, I would say. With a nice, pure oil on the tips. xx

[@Melayahm01]

@@VeggieMagnifique I have been using a Lush conditioner once a week as I'm finding my hair is more fluffed up now and a bit courser - 58 year old hair is not the same as 20/30 something hair - but it's very short as well, so the tips don't really need hydrating, natural sebum is enough. Also, I never used to dye my hair but now, undyed it just looks dull grey as well as sparse, so now I dye it purple! Roots are showing again now, so the next dyeing will show if there's any difference with no shampoo.

[@VeggieMagnifique]

@@Melayahm01 That's wonderful that you've been trying new things. And rock on with your purple hair! Just be patient with the process, and as always, see what works for you! All the best.

[@samanthakc4945]

You are hysterical and lovely, but your instructions aren’t coherent. Are there clear instructions written somewhere?

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Thanks so much, Samantha. I think the key here is patience and persistence. Wash less and less frequently. De-grease-ify with bicarb, and do some ACV rinses for a while (whilst employing hats) and then once your hair recalibrates (could be a while,) you can move on to using a clay shampoo every week or ten days. Hope that you're able to achieve hair freedom! Let me know if you have any more Qs. 💙
