Why I Only Wash My Hair Once a Week! (And What I Use to Shampoo)

[@candyrain1566]

This hair washing once a week is like a ritual for us curly girls

[@francesm4314]

EXACTLY!

[@kevitamaster-brewkombucha5472]

Oh yes

[@TheClaudiaa11]

Once in 2 week for me😆

[@s.8186]

Not only curly girls do this

[@chefmachond]

as a black woman i can say that almost all of us wash our hair once a week, i can relate to this. it just strips your hair of its natural oils

[@chefmachond]

some of us wash once a week and cowash in between. some go even longer. it varies with everyone but we definitely dont wash our hair everyday.

[@alyssabueno6128]

whats cowash?

[@chefmachond]

+alyssa it's really good, you just wash your hair with conditioner.

[@alyssabueno6128]

ohhh, im not ethnically black, but i have thick hair... sounds like a nice alternative to shampooing all of the time, since there are so many natural oils that could be stripped.

[@alyssabueno6128]

yeah i work out a lot, I'm a basketball coach, so i sweat often from activity. ohhhh, got it! thanks!

If it smells clean, it is clean! I actually do the same practice. In my microbiology class I did a swab of my scalp and a swab of my partner's scalp who had washed her hair only a half hour prior. She had way more microorganism colonies than me! I would love to see a real experiment about this!

I thought washing your hair once a week is a normal thing...? _well for black afro hair it is_

[@Olana670]

Sadly no :( My hair gets oily the second day and is really obvious with my relatively straight blonde hair so I have to wash it everyday other day, my sister washes her hair every day yikes

My wifes hair is starting to fall out,so im going to follow your advice and help her grow her lovely long hair back!

[@irme8930]

Don't take her advice. If your wife's hair falls out the optimum ammount of time she should wash it is every 3 or 4 days. Not washing the hair for 1 week causes more seborea, which causes more calvitie. This is only for poor people. Now, that we all have warm water we should wash our hair at least twice a week in order to remove the seborea that accumulates in the roots and causes the hair to fall.

[@Nutellix]

You should take her to a doctor, to make sure if it's really hair shedding and not hair breakage (people tend to confuse the two) if it's only hair breakage, she can regrow it back by using strengthening products like I did with mine. Good luck !

[@truelily7]

I am 64 years old. When I was growing up nobody washed their hair every day. In general, people were clean and had good hair. You washed it on Saturday and set it for church on Sunday. We used some hair spray but not all these products they use now. I guess if you perspired heavily or had very oily hair you might have washed more frequently. But I was amazed when I learned that people began to wash their hair every day or so. I still was my hair once a week. In summer, being outside more, I shampoo as needed. But if I washed every day my older hair would be so dry I would look like a hag, Ha! I think a natural shampoo and conditioner is good but pricey. My hair is doing fine.

My two year vegan anniversary is tomorrow! I have a chronic illness called Sickle Cell Anemia and I lost my hair from my first round of intensive chemotherapy in October of 2013. Fortunately my hair has grown back even longer and I've just started my second round of intensive chemo. I now have plans to donate my hair. It's about 18" in length and I'm probably going to grow it out for another year. Btw, Black women have been doing this for EONS. Glad you made the switch 🌱 #GoVegan

It doesn't depend. It is an animal product. DUMBEST ARGUMENT EVER.

[@theemilyanomaly]

+natmatt To educate you.

[@mardelmi]

+natmatt i meant this message to Kristina because an easy way of ruling it out is: it cant be vegan if an animal is taken advantage of. if you wanna dig deeper in the reasons why it isnt vegan, well mainly because of the many terrible practices in the honey harvesting/industry.

[@theemilyanomaly]

+natmatt Animal products can _never_ be vegan. No exceptions. You can argue that it's good for you, blah blah, that it doesn't harm them, but it still isn't vegan purely because it's an animal product and contradicts the definition of what veganism is.

Goddess Tips: Do not look yourself in the mirror. Instead, wash the face with only water when taking a bath or shower. Then put on something natural like aloe vera gel, with olive oil or coconut oil, you can even rub your skin with mango and avocado-skin against yours after you’ve eaten the fruit :) Spend time in nature, and watch all the beautiful trees and listen to the birds. You will feel refreshed and beautiful. Keep close to real friends that love you natural. And by being true to yourself with self-love and self-respect and self-confidence, you show the men you love that you are worthy love. Love and respect yourself and others will love and respect you

This video is last year's so you probably won't see my post. I am a new subscriber and I'm just LOVING your page! You mentioned being sick, and I will continue to watch your videos to see why. I'm critically ill at this point, pretty much confined to my bed for 22 hours a day, I'm 42 years old, lost my dream job as a flight attendant, I now have zero income and no insurance. I am very very sick and scared. I spent 8 months in the hospital and was on a feeding tube for 15 months. Approx 95% of my stomach was removed, I've had six major surgeries. My body cannot really metabolize food and nutrients to survive. I'm off the feeding tube but can only eat yogurt and baby food. I'm nauseated 24 hours a day, and have extreme thrush. I haven't had a true solid meal in 2.5 years. I'm seriously malnourished and due to that, my teeth began rotting at the roots and crumbling as they are dying. I have to get ALL 28 of my teeth removed tentatively in June 21st. I had a minor heart attack about 5 weeks ago due to malnutrition and dehydration. With all this, I've lost so much hair but because I'm still so sick, it's not growing I watched your video on Jackfruit and I'm going to see if my mom can get me one, she us my caregiver :( I really would love to chat with you....yes I've watched and follow other people on raw diets but I love how you explain things and you have a wonderful demeanor. Well hope you see this and I'm hollywood74 on FB! Also, you are so beautiful and your hair is GORGEOUS!!!

A lot of natural hair women wash their hair once a week. I do. It's because of my hair texture, can't afford to lose a lot of moisture.

[@user1927]

True, plus it doesn't get dirty within a day.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

If one is residing in a cool clime then washing one's hair weekly can seem reasonable, especially if one's hair looks like Mufasa (as Kristina calls her hair) but in a polluted, tropical location that would prove to be unhygienic.

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

[@Afieke]

This isn't such a big deal, is it?

Not really. A lot of people only wash once or twice a week, including myself. I have too much hair to wash frequently and it isn't necessary.

[@nonfictions]

Good point! And no, it's not a big deal.

[@Ju-oh8zj]

curly hair people like myself also don't do it all the time. Our natural oils don't spread through the hair as easy, therefore it needs a little bit more time.

[@kotkotak6205]

I'm arab and most of arab people wash their hair once a week, what she says in this video is 10% right, I use to wash my hair 3 times a week before until it dried out because of all the chemical products I put in it, ever since I stopped doing it and stuck to ashing it once a week it got so much better, actually the longer I forget to wash it the better it gets , when I really nee to wash it more than once a week I make sure I add up natural oils and let them sink in overnight a wash it the day after o that it wouldn't dry out, I really recommend it for people who have problematic hair if you're afraid it'd look greasy just wash the front part of it, or wear something like hat or anything during the last days of the week until your hair gets better and healthier, and always make sure to oil the endings because they tend to dry out a lot, quit the heating and add calcium to your diet or for non-vegan people put some white eggs on it few hours before washing it and it would make your hair much stronger and healthier . Yes I'd smell yuck but the result is wonderful .

[@Sofie72]

?? should we then not eat blueberries cause bears eat it, or any wild berries/fruits, roots or nuts. cause some animal is bound to need them? This is getting out of hand. think about it. i wonder why humans almost always take anything "good" they find and turn it into a religion and then hit others in the head with it, trying to control them. I do not see any harm in eating these things, neither animal produce as long as the animals are not harmed in the process. in nature there is abundance this is, so we all should be able to share these things. what matters is respect for all life and common decensy to not destroy the planet animals, nature or eachothers in the process it should be balanse co existance, symbioses you know. i think vegans have a lot of sence in the way they understand that the way things are in society today it is unsustainable and we need a change. just dont do the mistake of creating a new totalitarian belief system that undermines truth in order to make a point. dont throw common sence overboard. The day the lion eats grass will be a better world for shure but until then why dont we try to make better solutions and promote respect for all living things but also grateful and enjoy the life they bring. :)

[@Amy19959]

Kristina I truly believe that everything you say comes out of you with the best of intent. You seem so full of love and compassion. BUT I think it's dangerous for you to speak about things you don't know about. You are not a doctor, dietition or nutritionist. You draw conclusions about the body that, while they may seem logical to you, are simply not true. Hair doesn't fall out because it's unhealthy. Hair is dead; it's not relaying information about it's condition back to the body. It's much more likely that your hair fell out because your body was shocked by the sudden drastic change in your diet. This is relatively common but not a good thing as it's a sign your body is extremely stressed by the sudden change. This is also common for people who drastically change their diet and lose weight too fast. That's why your hair came back- because eventually your body got used to your new diet and calmed down. It's dangerous for you to draw conclusions not based in science and for you to portray hair loss or a loss of menstruation in a positive light. The main causes for these things are stress, malnourishment (too few calories), nutrient deficiency, thyroid conditions, etc. These are all harmful conditions that are not to be taken lightly or ignored. Please, for the sake of the young/ignorant people watching your videos, stop spreading false and potentially dangerous information. I mean personally, from a nutritionist's point of view, I think the whole raw vegan message is harmful to people's health long term but that's another issue entirely

[@MissMaria1988]

Well. She is into living naturally, and you seems to be into the meat and industrial ways thats overloaded with chemicals. The more natural one lives the better. Its a fact. We are living walking energy. The society like us to be non healthy consumers and not think for ourselves. Kristina is a wonderful example and rolemodel for taking responsibility for her own health. Most people are into mainstream food and health treatments but who is most healthy? Who get the flo and all the common health issues? We are living in 2017 and people are eating pills like sweets these days and its a vaccine for everything. How come people are so sick...if the industrial made sprayed food are so healthy?

That method is awful. I tried it once and couldn't do it, my hair is dry enough without assistance haha

[@dopkasa.1171]

Baking soda is highly alkaline and, if used excessively, be detrimental to the acid mantle of the scalp which does better with slightly acidic products around the range of 4.5 to 5 5. Even if you don't notice it at first, the damage to scalp and hair from repeated baking soda use is cumulative. It's undeniable that baking soda is a great cleaning agent, but be sure to test the ph level of diy products w/baking soda if you're going to be using it on your body.

Having curly hair myself I would assume it's from putting her hair behind her ear or clipping it back or brushing it out. You don't need heat to style hair, curly or straight. I can get mine pretty straight by letting it air dry while wearing massive curlers.

+Maria jose Rubio depending on what you're eating, you might not be getting enough calories! If you go from eating meat and dairy (in which meals have A TON of calories) to going vegan, you might find that you need to eat way more food than usual to get the same amount of calories as your body is used to having.

[@debrablakeley2789]

Re-the no-poo thing: I have super greasy hair and skin and used to have to shampoo daily. Ten years ago I began the vinegar/baking soda method. Fantastic. After the first couple weeks my scalp normalized and I have only had to wash it once a week for the past decade...BUT...it turned my hair orange. So I am back to (an organic) shampoo...but still only need to shampoo once every week or two. No, it doesn't stink. I think my raw vegetarian diet has really helped keep it normalized. Yes, raw vegetarian: 95% raw. I eat egg yolks from my happy chickens and raw cheese I make from milk from my friend's goats (they are happy also). The other five % of my diet is good-quality beer. Some raw foodies drink coffee. I'm allergic to it. Beer in the evening is my happy vice. Lime or lemon juice has been my deodorant for ten years. Best ever. Why people spend $ on deodorant is beyond me when lemon juice is SO much better

[@1GassedIndividual]

I saw the title and was like: “wait! Why would anyone wash their hair more than once a week?”

[@Lilacleaf49065]

Finer hair generally becomes a lot oiler quickly.

[@LoveSarahJean]

I'm a hairstylist and a HUGE part of having healthy hair is not washing it often. I wash mine every 1-2 weeks. That's probably the major factor. I have a whole video on it on my channel. Also, your scalp adjusts by itself to washing less often. Diet and genetics are the other major key factors :) Malibu and (some) Paul Mitchell products are my favorite vegan and cruelty free hair brands to use! Did you mention honey in this??

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

+Sarah Rosenfelder totally agree! I didn't know Paul Mitchell's products were vegan?!? That's awesome! Honey isn't vegan, but it's my grandmothers original recipe. You can modify by using maple syrup or something similar.

[@LoveSarahJean]

FullyRawKristina Aaah I see. Yes, PM's website now states which products are vegan. And they're a cruelty free company! :)

[@gigimc]

yup! thanx for mentioning the adjustment aspect. The human body (hair included) is very adaptable... a bit of a mess for thin/fine hair at first, but even that type will eventually balance out

[@LoveSarahJean]

[@nevraelisaveta7009]

Isn't the hair outside your scalp dead? I mean it makes no sense for it to fall out so much on a Vegan or Raw Vegan diet, as mine did. I lost 60%. May I ask the scientific explanation behind this? "Sick hair falls out" Thank you,

[@CurbHopper111]

While the outside is dead, it's still attached to the hair under your scalp, the root of the hair, and the hair follicle, which is not dead. When experiencing anything that can shock the body the follicle will sometimes release the root. A diet change can do that. If you've been vegan for only a short time then I wouldn't worry about it. If after 3-6 months you don't notice a lot of baby hairs growing back then take a look at your diet and make sure you're getting everything you need and eat more of a variety of fruits and veggies. Try the site cronometer to see if you're missing anything. Another option is a vegan multi vitamin. I know this isn't a popular fact within the vegan online community, but some vitamins need the presence of fat in order for your body to be able to absorb the nutrients. Try half an avocado every day or every other day. Or 1/4th teaspoon of chia seeds. You can put them in a salad or smoothie.

[@CurbHopper111]

[@jessicagiraldo3717]

Your hair naturally sheds hair as follicles shut down and other start growing hair again. Time and lifestyle changes can cause this. So actually it's not "sick hair" as she calls it. But then again she seems to think non vegans are unhealthy.

[@PeaceOutWorld]

Jessica Giraldo Not only that non-vegans are unhealthy, but that somehow raw vegan (which is a low fat diet) is a fountain of youth and perfect health. Her hair looks no different now than it did years ago, except now it looks dull, old and greasy. She's just talking about it. She also claimed her eye color changed from "getting clean" through raw vegan, but if you look up the scientific reasons this can happen, the only time it happens "naturally" is due to hormonal changes. The other time it happens is when someone goes to an eye doctor to have the color removed. In addition, she is claiming that the majority of people on the planet (that are brown eyed) are unhealthy and have unclean diets. But the teenagers believe everything she says, only because it's a newer concept in dieting, creating a low fat diet that's just a different type.

What are your feelings on LUSH?

[@evelynb1325]

When I was a child, the norm was to wash one's hair once a week! I've long since blamed the shampoo companies for promoting daily hair washing. I have always noticed that if for some reason I've had to wash my hair a day early ... the week after, my hair needs washing sooner. I believe that one's hair adjusts ... and if I were to wash my hair every morning, it would be starting to get less clean & healthy by the end of the day ... instead of at the end of the week! Some people take the "No-poo' to the extent that they don't wash their hair at all - and their hair doesn't get dirty. It takes care of itself. But to reach that condition, they slowly extend the time between washing ... and use soda bicarb or something similar during the process of getting to a full 'No-poo' state. I've never managed to work through to that!!

[@siennadawn7996]

I just felt like commenting on the use of honey. YES, some vegans do use honey and eat honey. NO, by technical definition it is not vegan. That being said it is still a huge debate within the community. A lot of vegans still eat honey and a lot don't. I think the best thing to do is just support that they live a vegan lifestyle in general and not get hung up on one thing you might disagree with because technically it isn't "unvegan" to eat honey and it isn't "vegan" to eat it either. It's still a grey area. Especially when one considers that it takes bee labor to produce all the produce vegans eat. It's a tough discussion so instead of getting at each other for it--let's just build each other up for being vegan.

[@nekeshasullivan]

Sienna Dawn well said!

[@ladylancelot663]

I'm vegan and eat honey. I have my own beehive in my backyard and I treat them humanly. Unfortunately every winter 90% of the population dies due to the cold weather but it helps me since I don't want my backyard to be overpopulated and have them bugging my neighbors. I know letting them die is mean but if nature wants them to die then I'm not going to get in her way.

[@PeasLovePineapples]

Great comment! They talk all the time how bees are going extinct and how harmful that will be to the food industry , because we need bees to pollinate. Which is also a big job bees perform, they don't just make honey. Why is one job singled out and viewed more important than the other. When we can easily stop eating honey the world won't die. But if we don't have bees to pollinate, we are in serious trouble. According to Albert Einstein if honeybees go extinct, the human race would only survive about 4 years.

Ankle length hair, trim it when it needs but have used apple cider vinegar diluted in distilled water w/essential oil of lavender and rosemary to wash once a week also. I can’t wear it loose and free all the time tho or it gets sat on or stepped on. There’s a Soapless shampoo out now however called “Uncle Harry’s” ingredients are: Soapnut powder, reverse osmosis water, grapefruit seed extract, essential oils of eucalyptus, orange, rosemary and tee tree. I just discovered this so not sure how to honestly rate it. Also another thing I do often is slather freshly cut aloe Vera gel into my hair then rinse. It grows EVERYWHERE around me but I realize not all places is it readily readily available. Coconut oil is my favorite go to for the bottom three + feet length.

it really just depends on you. long drawn out gentle detox or strong detox. it's all equal really. some drink tea but it's not really necessary or naturally hygienic.

[@elainefernandez9324]

I hear a slow transition is best. For example, start by having one fully raw meal a day (like a smoothie or juice for breakfast). Then start increasing the amount of raw fruits and vegetables that you eat during your other meals until eventually it becomes your primary food. Even if you never go fully raw, you'd still be eating a lot healthier! :-)

I have made myself a homemade shampoo bar with spirulina and rosemary oil following some online recipe, but it contains something called sodium cocoyl isethionate (baby foam) to produce foam, which is based on coconat fatty acids, but does not look fully natural. But the shampoo bar works so far the best for me. Thank you for your experience :-)

For soap nuts soak them in a big jar of hot water then shake a lot, then pour into a safe plastic jug ( no glass in the shower) like a milk container.

Baking soda actually makes your hair break from the roots. It's more harmful than the sulphates used in commercial shampoos. I would recommend using bentonite clay powder or fuller's earth powder.

[@floydhendrixzepplin]

I do too. its because the more you wash your hair , the more you strip it of its natural oils so it over produces them causing your hair to be more oily more often. Go through a transition phase and your hair will adjust when you start washing it less . Your oils will balance out and you'll wind up having to wash it less
