Current trends in cosmetics tend to go back to the natural, and the 'No Poo' method, which advocates washing hair without using shampoo, also strives for this. The chemical-filled products are thus replaced by water, baking soda and apple cider vinegar.
Until the late 18th century, people only washed their hair once a month. A few decades later, upon the invention of the first synthetic shampoo, they were washed every 2 weeks, and in the 70s of the last century, daily washing became the norm. Today, many are returning to the original methods and the use of natural ingredients that do not damage the hair. 'No Poo' (no shampoo) method completely eliminates the use of shampoos and other synthetic products from the routine. Instead, the hair is washed with just water and the occasional use of baking soda and apple cider vinegar.
Hair contains natural oils, which are necessary for a healthy and well-groomed scalp. Frequent washing and use of chemical-laden shampoos completely remove these oils, leaving the hair in poor condition. The scalp therefore begins to secrete oils in increased quantities and a vicious circle begins. This is where the 'No Poo' method comes in. He washes his hair with water only ensures a clean scalp without damage. Instead of shampoos damaging the hair and robbing it of its natural oils, water cleanses the scalp of all chemicals and re- restores a natural balance. This revolutionary method is also supported by most dermatologists and hairdressers, which is just an additional incentive.
Many people are very skeptical at first, because it takes 2 to 6 weeks before the balance of the hair is restored. During this time, of course, the scalp can look greasier than usual, so it is hair needs to be combed several times, so that the oils are evenly distributed. Many also recommend using it baking soda and apple cider vinegar, which are good natural hair cleansers. Those who practice the 'No Poo' method testify that it is worth "putting up" for a few weeks, because the result is softer, fuller and more heals hair without dandruff.
